    This is the all-time most succinct encapsulation of libertarian thought - giving the government power by voting is tyranny, but random people getting it as a side-effect of money is Freedom.

    Old enough to remember libertarians who were smugly asserting Social Security caused the Iraq War.

    Now we're stuck with the libertarians who smugly assert that the Department of Education causes transgender teenagers.

    Can't have transgender teens in school, if you you don't have school! Checkmate atheists, i mean, liberals.

    /s maybe, who knows what those chuds are doing anymore

    Say goodbye to the old school, ergh, boring - I hate school!

    Say HELLO to the patriot Mcschool of dreams, brought to you in association with Coca-Cola - to ensure your patriot Mcschool dreams have Real magic - providing children with the very best school-like experience and for prices lower than you'd expect.

    To be clear, they also like .gov tyranny if it’s the right flavor

    Always thought libertarians didn't watch nearly enough 90s anime. So much of it was evil corporations and Cyberpunk about evil corporations.

    They saw "Look at all the cool technology capitalism is going to bring us!" instead of "Holy shit capitalism will use this amazing technology to make everything worse".

    It never makes sense why some on the right are fine with private authoritarianism

    Weak minded people are easy to exploit

    In other words the people supporting this shit are idiots who have no critical thinking skills.

    Fun etymological fact: very long ago, tyranny used to refer to an autocratic leader that issued a debt jubilee, generally in response to a peasant uprising. A debt jubilee is where most or all debts are declared invalid, a clean debt slate for society, and was generally necessary to keep society functioning. The mini revolution that appointed the tyrant would be short-lived and the prior systen would more or less remain in place, just with cancelled debts.

    Can you imagine the anguished cries of the parasite classes?

    Truly, it would be music like no other.

    Sure, it won't solve anything in the long term, but fuck me, a global debt reset would be hilarious. Landlords and banks, zeroed overnight.

    Damn. There's a thought experiment.

    Libertarians are just Fascists too cowardly to call themselves that.
