    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.

          If you’ve been spewing your shit all over the Internet for decades and people still think that, then either:

          • Your outreach efforts don’t work
          • You actually are, because that’s how you behave in practice no matter what you babble about when proselytizing

            People still think bisexuals are gays in denial. People still think there are two genders. It’s hard to escape binary thinking

      they will still insist that there is a secret government regulation responsible for their lives being shit.

      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

              Ron Paul can’t even take responsibility for racist newsletters.

              Edit: will you respond with “he didn’t have time to edit them” (undermining the personal responsibility point), or “Ron Paul isn’t libertarian” (No True Libertarian). I await with baited breath.

              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.
