@steveklabnik Nice try, but I suspect the ends of most libertarianism isn't practicality or morality but rather simplicity and autonomy. -
@marick generally, autonomy is from a place of morality, and simplicity is related to practicality - Show replies

@steveklabnik That is, simplicity is not a tool, it's a goal, so evidence that the world isn't simple and axiomatic is disallowed. -
@marick … if you’re saying Libertarians are living in a fantasy world where everything is simple, I agree. ;)

@steveklabnik And heroic stories about how the believer has fared in the current world and would fare in libertopia are emotionally central. -
@marick more seriously, I don’t agree with a lot of what the writer says, but I do agree with his criticisms. enemy of your enemy and such
