> My feeds are full of sociopathic libertarians calling for government to make sure they never suffer any consequences for their failure to adequately manage risk? Not sure to whom you’re referring, but they’re not libertarians.

I mean literally nobody is a libertarian by the dictionary definition, there aren't any on the planet. It's just a word people use to describe a value system where governments only help people like them and everyone else gets fucked. They sure talked a good game though.

  No true libertarian.

      When you show me a true Scotsman. (I was attempting to make a wry joke.)

        Indeed. The difference is that there are actually people living in Scotland.

  > I mean literally nobody is a libertarian by the dictionary definition And is anyone a "democrat" or "republican" or "socialist" (note small "d", "r", and "s") by the dictionary definition? All I'm saying is that failing to behave strictly according to dictionary definitions is common to all humans not just "libertarians".
