Thinking fondly back to that time I turned a Libertarian forum into a cacophony of fuck by asking why it was that the state paying Doctors to perform medicine on behalf of the citizenry was "as bad as slavery" but not when the state performs that exact same arrangement with police.

The tortured rationalizations were a thing of breathtaking majesty, all of them buttressed by these impressive towers of words that fell all over themselves to justify "fuck sick and poor people, but please let the state which I absolutely hate protect my personal property."

When you boil it right down, a LIbertarian has shat all over the definition of what a Libertarian actually is. In its current incarnation, it's just another facet of fascism.

It's libertine insofar as it removes all existing guardrails from the ones who are currently preying on us and says, "The problem was that we had too many regulations, which made it impossible for them to naturally self-regulate in a way that doesn't dump toxins in the ocean and shit into the skies even more so than we already do."
