    As the name implies, libertarians want to be free.

    Tyranny.gov rules by law which prohibits what you are allowed to do and thus think, thus limiting freedom.

    Tyranny.com has no laws, just costs, which can be restructured by a single person. Thus the person feels free.

      All libertarians care about is how they can make money and benefit from a situation.

      They don’t care others are getting fucked as long as they can have their tea.

      They don’t actually want a free market, they want a market where they can burrow their tendrils deep into society and suck off as much as they can.

        Then they are not libertarians but something else. This doesn’t make those people less problematic, though.

          I dunno. At some point you have to recognize that’s what libertarians are when the overwhelming majority of them fit his description.

          Instead of trying to argue that most libertarians “aren’t true libertarians,” you’d be better off finding a different word to describe what you want to communicate.

          I’m a firm-believer that libertarianism is a way to grift working class people who think they’re better than other working class people.
