Funniest Two Things Today

First is the 10 Reasons Libertarians Hate Everyone.

Second is Lyle's response:

It is a pretty arrogant list though. For one thing, if lib’tarians are the super, ultra geniuses of the world, you’d think they’d be able to come up with ways to convince more people.
One of the really big disconnects in the mind of a libertarian is the fact that liberty is a political AND moral concept and libertarians don’t believe in politics or morality. So the libertarian is a contradiction. A defeatist with a really good rationalization for it. It’s a way to go down to destruction at the hands of statists and feel good and justified while doing it.
It’s a belief system that makes you superior to everyone else around you, without your having to actually stand up for or do anything. All you have to do is talk, to anyone who’ll tolerate you, or to no one. Pretty convenient.

h/t to Uncle.

I am also fascinated that utopianists tend to self identify as smarter than everyone else.

I'd like to remind people that there's nothing in one of humanities most brutal periods of history can't be reconstructed in full compliance with libertarianism.
