      I can always count on libertarians to remind me why I'm not one right as I'm on the cusp of forgetting.

      As I've said before, the best argument for libertarianism is watching the government do literally anything, and the best argument against libertarianism is watching libertarians do anything.

          you might qualify this by saying “OUR underfunded and demonized government” as there are plenty of examples all over the world of effective governance, we just chose not to try. #americanexceptionalism

          Yes and no. The modern manifestations of libertarianism are flawed because it's trying to put ink back in a bottle. The 'Big Ideas' part of the ideology requires a complete overhaul of systems that have developed in opposition to the ideal of libertarianism manifested earlier.
