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.

> 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".
