    Whoever posted that doesn’t understand libertarians.

    If there were no government regulations, they would have nothing to complain about and their lives would be ruined.

      I promise you that if you put a libertarian into a place without government regulation, they will still insist that there is a secret government regulation responsible for their lives being shit.

        Sadly, I think you’re probably right. I used to tell them to go to Rwanda if they wanted to live in a tax-free utopia, but Rwanda has taxation now what with it having a more or less functional government now.

        You seem to confuse us with leftists. No, it’s not the patriarchy/white people keeping you down. We’re the first to tell you that you are responsible for your own success

          The problem is being the last to admit that you are responsible for all your own fuckups.

            To claim credit for your successes you need to also admit fault for your failures, it goes both ways

              I’m dying right now. You must be going through life with horse-blinders on or something.

                What’s your point? Libertarians are all about taking personal responsibility

                  Do you have a source on that? My experience with libertarians is “I do what I want, and if I cause problems for you, fuck you” not “I’m personally responsible for my actions and the effects they have on my surroundings”.

                  Also, you blindly missing the point, and then dodging it instead of admitting you missed the crux of the issue was just chef’s kiss perfect.
