About ten years ago when I was an earnest lib I spent some time trying to understand libertarianism. I wish I had learned about leftism and talked to leftists instead. Somebody could have told me libertarianism was bullshit. But I was naïve and I didn't know any better.
I ended up starting to watch a series of Youtube vids of Michael Badnarik who at one time ran for president as a libertarian. I thought it meant something. I didn't know there must have been 100s of people who had done that. An oddity of the vids is that he had bugbears. An example is that he went on and on and on and on and on about allodial titles for cars.
It took me far too long to realize he was a wacko. Eventually I realized that in general libertarians are nuts. And all their explaining of their political philosophy and editorializing and lecturing is a lie. When they want to do something or they want something - they don't want any pesky laws or regulations getting in their way. They dream of that perfect mix existing in the entire US.
