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.

Guess my stereotype is from the college crowd.

And they'll never be socially liberal, because they can't stomach the thought of smudgies and sodomites being /people/.

[Mangrove]

Dok H is right - this is actually genius. Bit like the guy who gets paid much coinage to design bunkers for rich idiots who believe in the 2012 Doomsday stuff.

Or the guy who sells '2012 survival supplies'.

Soooo much money to be had if only we look!

Exactly. Because their whole self-image seems to hinge on looking down on people WHO ARE ACTUALLY COOLER THAN THEM.

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

That's an unfair generalization.  I personally don't rip on libertarians at every opportunity.

Because it's sort've like laughing at the retarded kid who can't operate the swing set.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

according to TYT, the libertarians are anarchists...

What's TYT?

IME Libertarians are close to anarchists, but with different, equally unrealistic values.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

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!"

THIS THIS THIS!

I learned that I wasn't really a Libertarian when I was 23, living in Oakland, working a phone sex line for a living. I thought Libertarianism sounded cool, but after being paid $60/hr to argue with a shit-ton of sex-starved Libertarians on the phone, it didn't make much sense anymore.

Who calls a sex line to argue politics?  Or did it just get there accidentally?

I think they're only on the radar for leftists. I had no idea who they were.

Libertarians can't help it. Also, I specialized. You would be surprised how many people will pay for that.

Me either, I just remember the sign they had up behind them.  They're funny, though, I thought.

Libertarians can't help it.

[Scribbly]

This is too amazing to ignore.

Thanks guys! I've sent this around to the people I'm working for - going to try and sell them on the idea of doing a feature extolling the virtues of seasteading as the next step in locations innovation. What better tax haven than a place you've built from the ground up! 

Definitely want to do my part to make this a reality, and since the people I'm working for are all about attracting investment, why not?

[Doktor Howl]

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.

Certainly is a lot of generalizing going on ITT, that's for damn sure.
