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

Keep on assuming we just don’t understand, despite libertarians spewing their shit all over the Internet for decades at this point.

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

I would say that whoever posted that understands libertarians perfectly, and maybe libertarians don’t understand themselves and libertarianism

Every Internet post about any political party is almost always about the wild caricatures people have in their head, because actually talking about politics IRL is a taboo because everyone is too damn scared and/or jaded to do anything but spout extreme bullshit online under an anonymous persona. All liberals are child-murduring blue-haired SJWs, all conservatives are rednecks bent on bringing back slavery and committing trans genocide, and all libertarians are secretly nazis or children who don’t get how the world works. The Internet says so.
