    Libertarianism explained in six Tweets. I used to lean libertarian. Then I matured.https://twitter.com/Stonekettle/status/1041319708304330754 …

    Bullshit. What libertarians want is all of the benefits of civilization and none of the responsibilities. Libertarians are simply conservatives boiled down to "I got mine, so fuck you." As a political philosophy, libertarianism is a barn full of feral cats. https://twitter.com/TWGammill/status/1041201293472096256 …

        They have a lot of Grand Econ Ideas and absolutely zero social ideas. Social structures constitute a significant barrier to entry. Health insurance tied to the job hinders/ prevents free movement of labor There is a tendency to want the market to punish instead of being for all

        And there is a disregard for natural sciences, etc, with the aforementioned lust for “punishment by market” It’s a philosophy that lacks empathy but is largely based on emotion (And dont get me started on austrian economics!!!)

        I'm convinced every young man starts as a libertarian. I think most grow out of it when reality sets in.

        Perhaps not every, but yeah, many of us. We’re bulletproof and know everything at 19. And self-absorbed. It’s why military recruiters target young men for combat arms

        I think everyone goes through a libertarianism phase. Mine was my first year of college.

        What I find is funny, is that they want to deregulate life-saving regulations... While ensuring to insert religious dictatorship into schools and reproductive health. They're a basket of failure abd hypocrisy.
