overall I figure mainstream US conservatives are probably about as "libertarian" as mainstream US liberals are "socialist" (ie not very). & most of the ordinary people of any society are a little bit complicit in what the society's institutionally guilty of, but "only a little"

I mention them only bc I assume ppl who say stuff like "libertarians are white supremacists" must be including mainstream republicans who casually self-id as "libertarian", bc it's hard to picture anyone well-versed in how much more-complicated-than-that it is being that obtuse

I'm just starting from the top now and I'm already at a reply that starts from the *exact* argument Nozick gives for suggesting libertarians should consider being pro-reparations and somehow arrives at "libertarianism is objectively white-supremacist" instead, so ... yeah

DeLong's a hack, Steinbaum seems to be genuinely unhinged.
