I don't know if I've ever heard the quote IRL, but I've known libertarians and they've seemed fine. If all you disagree about is the particulars of economic theory it's not really worth getting worked up about.
I imagine this person being young and male, and possibly liking cryptocurrencies.
I have. Most people who say this IRL are very Libertarian and very not libertarian. If they like cryptocurrency, it's something new so they can feel smart.
Public service announcement that crypto isn't intrinsically dumb, but that the most popular cryptos are, and most of the fans definitely are.
The most popular crypto is one of the few that's p2p and well-tested.
Bitcoin? It's a first prototype that unnecessarily guzzles computing power, and has no privacy features whatsoever. We don't drive the Model T anymore.
They're all p2p, I don't know what you're talking about there.
yeah. whatever.
They do not want anyone to have authority over them in any capacity. They want to fuck who they want, do what drugs they want, shoot what they want, exploit financially anyone they want, hire and fire anyone they want, control and manipulate markets however they want. They do not want any limitations placed on them by law, regulation, ethics, or morality. They feel no responsibility to anyone but themselves, do not value others that do not benefit them directly, and see society only as a means to serve their interests. They are the definition of narcissists.
Understands the importance of kidness and empathy but doesn't understand economics
Sounds a lot like economically right, but politically liberal
Libertarian
Extreme centrist
Just like every other liberal they are a nazi sympathizer.
I won't waste my life savings on hookers and blow but you should absolutely have the freedom to do so without judgment
I think in terms of American politics this means you are buying the shit that both sides are peddling to distract you from what the actual problems are and what is actually causing them
I think "I want to keep my money and let you get gay married"
"I haven't thought about politics for more than 30 seconds in my entire life but I don't want to admit that and don't want to sound like a complete asshole" is about the most charitable way I can translate that sound bite.
'You're lying to either me, yourself, or both. You're a full on conservative and don't want to admit it.''
opposite of me I guess
"I'm simple and don't bother to look deeper into anything"
As someone who calls himself that:
"I am a liberal but the liberal want to go after the upper middle class instead of after the top 0.1%"
P.S: I'm from Switzerland, so don't tell me about Trump. I knoe he's a fascist and I would have voted against him. But here in Switzerland we have more moderate choices.
Racist. It’s always dogwhistle racism.
