    The difference is Libertarians are supposedly pro-choice and support decriminalization of drugs. Conservatives end up on the wrong side of that conflict too.

        I think often libertarianism is just for really stupid people who are under the impression they’re really smart. They just found a way to plagiarise other people’s explanation “so I’m actually not a huge asshole, see there’s this super-smart principle that protects me from criticism to that effect”

          Naive. I’ve known many otherwise smart people who see Libertarian (briefly), and yes, me too. It usually cures itself when people realize what a dumbass they’re being

          Libertarianism is like Communism: it seems like a view of an ideal world …. Until you realize how far from reality it is. Until you realize you may have started with a good premise, but took it way too far. Until you actually experience reality
