This wasn't written by me, but I found it amusing none the less.
"The power of liberty going forward is in decentralization. Not in leaders, but in decentralized activism. In a market process." -- liberty student
February 17 - 1600 - Giordano Bruno is burnt alive by the catholic church. Aquinas : "much more reason is there for heretics, as soon as they are convicted of heresy, to be not only excommunicated but even put to death."
the basic premise here is that just because you know that the current situation is bad according to your libertarianism, libertarianism somehow prohibits you from making the best out of the situation
it really makes no sense to me. I dont like the government distortions in the school system, though I still go to a state school because it is cheaper than the subsidized "private" schools because thats my best bet.

Yes, I was raised on Monty Python and Three Stooges.
But as for living my life as a fundamentalist libertarian, willing to sacrifice everything for those ideals...that’s not going to be me.
Libertarianism doesn't actually prescribe 'sacrificing everything'. In fact, you'll probably be more effective if you live a more balanced life, practicing libertarianism to that area where you have the most power.

I can relate to him in the sense that it can be frustrating being a libertarian in such an un-libertarian world, but it seems like this guy was expecting for the entire world to change just because he learned about libertarianism.If you want the world to change educating your self is only the first step.
Juan: ladyattis: Juan: you find stupidity to be amusing ? Yes, I was raised on Monty Python and Three Stooges. I'm not a fan of the Three Stooges. Monty Python on the other hand are (were) pretty good at satire. I take it you find their satire to be amusing ? Or are you saying they are stupid ?
Libertarianism isn't for the faint of heart.

Yah. I got through about the first 2 sentences of that.
As for the article LadyAttis shared, it seems like this person is confusing "Libertiarianism" with "Anarcho-Capitalism". What's more, he really needs to take Freshman English again. His writing sucks.
Indeed, it attracts neanderthals to it as well judging by the comments, knuckle-dredgers too stupid to put together a coherent argument as to why libertarians are "retarded".
To darkness I condemn you...
I think he is just referring to freetalklive. They talk a lot about moving up to New Hampshire and "fighting" for freedom.
Of course, making a lot of money can get one lots of freedom as well, which I think is the path he has decided to choose.
At most, 5% of the population would need to stop complying to bring down the government.
