By far, the worst thing about half the articles being written about benny-boy is that the other half of articles are full of derails complaining about him.
And, of course, that's bullshit. It's heaping piles of bullshit to get to the obviously and clearly flawed premise that all non-libertarians are the same.
Authoritarian characteristics are a measurable thing that exist(unless you're a sociology denialist, then we're back to reality denying) and describe far fewer people than they're pretending it does.
And they haven't really done anything regarding hthe "stop shitting all over customers" promise they threw out on a PR damage control press conference.
That's the problem with you. You can't even address ideologies that aren't libertarianism as separate and distinct from one another. You create a false dilemma between the state solving everything and no state.
It's clearly stupid, and yet it's the first place you go.
As far as "reality denying assumptions" go, let's start with giving you the benefit of the doubt, and asking you how you think free markets work.
And let's not forget the "Better at it than humans" heuristic. As long as "Jaywalking under the influence of melanin" is sometimes a capital crime, that's not a hard target to hit.
The problem here is that you just no true Scotsmanned away over half the people with your ideological alignment.
Besides which, the data on libertarian voting isn't very ambiguous. Self identified libertarians vote for republican candidates at about the same rate as self identifed republicans. 75% vs 80%.
I don't know if it's my inner luddite awakening with old age or what, but I can't help but feel that without a specific focus, the notion of "internet schooling" does little for anyone.
It's so that they can politically grandstand coming and going: "democrats brought a bill helping terrorists" and simultaneously to other voters "We blocked that bill because it was watered down and wouldn't protect the country".
And if it wasn't for the numerous powerful members of their party who'll be delivering that first argument, the second would be a pretty valid fucking point.
They(and their constituent subgroups) were never our ally in Syria. The groups we have given material support to in Syria have ended up fighting both Assad and Isis, which is just what Assad wants: rebels fighting each other over ideological differences are rebels not ousting him from office. There have even been accusations that he strategically ceded the most rebellious territories to ISIS so that international support for his being in power waxes.
ISIS got the American military equipment they did by stealing from Iraqis who abandoned their posts.

To be fair to that scene, it actually takes a bit of awareness to realize that fucked up 3d UI was a filesystem wrapper.
Like, "Oooooooooooooooh, there's /usr/, I get it now" was a perfectly reasonable reaction.

It's certainly the highest concentration of [insert currently villified tech company here]'s products.
I'm talking about "republicans masquerading as libertarians"
Yeah, okay that article directly references the people who were being armed.
Spoiler: it was someone attacked by ISIS allies

Point of fact: it's just an air conditioner. The only difference is that it uses mechanical power instead of electrical to run its heat pump.

Oh, those quotes were to syntactically contain the idea in a manner that ascribes it. It's not intended to be a direct quote.

"Statist" as if that's a political philosophy.

Take them honestly, and they still fucking come with neo-liberal "market will generically solve human problems" bullshit just-worldism.
You take that part out and you end up with a very different philosophy.
And let's not forget the "Better at it than humans" heuristic. As long as "Jaywalking under the influence of melanin" is sometimes a capital crime, that's not a hard target to hit.

The nicest thing you can say about libertarian philosophies is that they aren't as ignorant and poorly thought out as modern conservative ones.
But where neoliberal economics goes, reality-denying assumptions travel with it.

Sure, the ones that have to do with infrastructure problems.
But not any of the software originated ones.
When exactly do you believe material support to Syrian groups began?
Yeah, but it's never really been about the reliability. It's always been the "not paying your own IT maintenance staff" thing that's the big draw.
Well sort of.

Libertarians don't admit that because they typically don't admit to voting republican in the first place.
I'm pretty sure that's exactly what this auction is going to establish.
If you actually click the photon link in that article, it lists a mass.
I feel like I'm going to argue semantics forever if I push this though.
