The Atlas Shrugged Themepark?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Not to mention that this one has the potential to fail in an EPIC AND HILARIOUS (BY WHICH I MEAN TRAGIC AND AWFUL) way. Which is why I very deeply hope that Roger's prediction is wrong, and mine is right.

This particular idea is WAY too awesome to fail after a mere few years.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

OH OH OH

I forgot the best part! That the potential number of islands and variety of experimental governmental styles, should this take off, means there is potential for SO MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF GLORIOUS FAILURE!!! If this works, it could be one of the most educational experiments EVER!

Im kinda hoping the communists build one right next to the libertarians for extra lulz.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I want Anarchists to build one, but first Anarchists would have to have money. 

[Elder Iptuous]

according to TYT, the libertarians are anarchists...

I think i'm missing something.
everyone is gleefully thinking about how Mr. Thiel's Island is going to burn to the seafloor in a spectacular failure of radical libertarian foolishness....
but.
all i've seen is that he's donated 1.25M to the seasteading institue, which specifically says on their website that they aren't going to be building any islands themselves.  they just do studies, etc.
so...
who's making an island here?

Come on Ippy, you've been here longer than I and you know that when ANY libertarian idea is discussed, no matter WHAT, it's met with :lulzlibertardians: are teh lail.

Concrete concepts are not necessary if the get in the way of teh lulz

Wait.  They're not even doing it?



THIS JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER!

Apparently, they're just collecting cash from people who HOPE they will do it.

Shit, why can't I ever think of this kind of thing first?

I changed my mind.  This is the most insanely GENIUS idea since the grifter from Texas coined the term "Moneybomb".

Libertarianism is lulzy because it takes "let's all take on a little more responsibility for more social freedom" and turns it into "CAPITALISM AND INDUSTRY ARE GOD AND EVERYTHING THAT'S GOOD ON THIS PLANET, AND THE BUSINESSMAN CAN DO NO WRONG, ALSO, GUNS FOR ALL THE CHILDREN! ALSO ALSO, GOVERNMENT AS PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINE!"

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Its also lately turned social freedom into meaning freedom from all of those dark skinned gay non christian liberals and their demands of equality. Libertarian usually means "i dont want to admit that im a far right republican" these days.

Who was it that said that libertarians are white single twenty somethings living off a trust fund and living in starbucks?
Because this in my experience is true more often than not.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Not sure. I have noticed the age thing though. Except when it comes to teabagger libertarians. Those all tend to be twelve year olds trapped in middle aged bodies around here.

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

I know a few. They're redneck drunks and/or potheads who got disenchanted with that dry republitard Bush shit but aren't quite ready to be LIBRULS.
