    Real libertarians would stand there with their hands in their pockets watching a toddler drown in a duck pond because the parents have no right to demand their labour.

      is this satire or…?
      because i actually noticed a few specific people (namely us-citizens) associating libertarianism with uncontrolled market instead of the humanitarian background of the enlightenment

        Sorry your movement got co-opted by idiots. It happens. Pick a new name for your beliefs and start over. The brand is tarnished and anyone who disagrees either is in denial over the state of things, or perfectly fine with what it has become. It’s time to move on.

        The entire concept is “I don’t have to and you can’t make me!”.

        That’s it, that’s all; a complete renunciation of social obligation. Nobody is required to do anything for anybody else, and the very idea is offensive.

        Regulation is tyranny, taxation is theft, fuck you, pay me.

        Your baby is starving to death in the street? Better hope someone decides to randomly donate to a charity or something, because I don’t have to give a shit about anyone in the world but myself. But its okay, I’m a good person because I’m not touching you!

        At least toddlers grow out of it.

        Randroid scum the lot of them; a bunch of edgelord ex-teenage anarchists who realised they like money and want laws to protect it, without any of that inconvenient and expensive functioning-society stuff getting in the way of their selfishness.
