    yeah except libertarians love kings and masters, they just want it to be private and not collective. because they think they’re going to be kings and masters in such a society. and it’s always the most miserable looking dweeb because that’s usually the motivation behind the fantasy.

      To translate your message: “Libertarians wrongly believe they are kings and masters.” Evidenced by the famous Highlander line “There can be only one!”

      I mean. You already pay for your road and the ambulance that can drive down it to save your life. Why would you pay more to utilise the same overburdened service? Unless you’re going to pay to build a hospital, fire station, etc. what’s the point? And then the maintenance bills. Libertarians cannot wait to spend all of their money on things we currently help them pay for. (I’m Canadian by the way, just to explain the paid ambulance part)

        Most of libertarians I’ve met rang to me like the old adage of them being like a housecat. Fiercely certain of their own independence, while being completely unaware of the system they rely upon. I don’t think homie your responding to deserves heat, because they do legit think they will be the kings. Like look at the devil Peter thiel. He is currently ungodly rich, but when his wishes come to fruition, the dollars he hoarded will be with nothing.
