The only way for libertarianism to work is if every human had only good intentions. Since that’s simply never going to happen libertarianism will never work. Just my opinion feel free to disagree.

The difference is that they think that gatekeeping poor people from services in order to bring costs down for everyone else is valid. I've seen libertarians argue that the solution to tuition and healthcare being expensive is to stop helping poor people, because that will drive demand down and lower prices for people who can already afford it. I've seen libertarians argue that the solution to people scalping groceries is to let grocery stores price gouge. Their solutions only ever involve helping people who don't need help at the expense of people who do. Libertarianism is "me, me, me right now now now" dressed up in fancy language. It's the political philosophy of a tumor.

“We live in a society” - the jonkler

“Not if I can help it” - libertarians

As far as I can tell, the ones with money want a free hand to do whatever they want to others without repercussion, and the ones without money are willfully drinking the Kool Aid and being led around by the nose philosophically.

You ever hear a libertarian complain about flying? Fascinating one-person debate about airlines and deregulation.

Being Libertarian means never having to admit you’re a Republican

Typically they argue the government is the cause of the problems (which is frequently correct) and the solution is to remove regulations that create the inefficiencies (which rarely goes to plan and frequently involves enriching them).

It's clownish just for different reasons than the meme suggests.

Most "libertarians" are this dumb, but the old school ones at least attribute the problems to uneven regulation rigged in favor of the ruling class, which does jive with my understanding of what is wrong with the financial system. That being said, libertarianism wouldn't work even if they did get shit straight.

Believing Libertarians argue in good faith. 🤡

How is it that free market's modus operandi seem to be attempting suicide every few years?

I've seen them claim that a natural monopoly cannot exist and that monopolies we see today are all enforced by government regulation.

i thought being a libertarian was cool when i was 20 and wanted to smoke weed but didn't know how to get any

I kept reading that as librarian

I’m sorry but anyone who thinks we’re actually in a free capitalist system is delusional. The freedom is a lie they sell us to perpetuate the system.

Zoning codes that restrict density are the opposite of a free market.
