tldr; (Below I am copy pasting some interesting quotes from the paper) - libertarians reject moralities based on ideas of obligation to other people, groups, traditions, and authorities. - Libertarians scored relatively high on just one moral concern: liberty. - Libertarians will rely upon emotion less – and reason more - than will either liberals or conservatives. - libertarians have a strong sense of self and the self's prerogatives, and a correspondingly lower sense of attachment to others. They exhibit a high degree individualism, a low degree collectivism, and generally report feeling less bonding with others, less loving for others, and less feelings of a sense of common identity with others.

>- libertarians have a strong sense of self and the self's prerogatives, and a correspondingly lower sense of attachment to others. They exhibit a high degree individualism, a low degree collectivism, and generally report feeling less bonding with others, less loving for others, and less feelings of a sense of common identity with others. Politics completely aside, that sounds like a lonely, painful way to go through life. Shouldn't people with these inclinations find out ways to improve their relationships with others? I've never heard a libertarian self-identify as a misanthrope before, so I would think they want relationships with others.
