    A libertarian is someone who knows the price of everything, the value of nothing, and the age of consent in every jurisdiction

      “Libertarians are like house cats, they’re convinced of their fierce independence while dependent on a system they don’t appreciate or understand.”

          Yeah, its actually well known that some places actually ask you NOT to let your cat outside as they destroy local wildlife.

          My house cat once went and hid under the bed because he was approached by an inquisitive guinea pig. I don’t think he’s surviving in the wild.

      The only individual liberties they are concerned with are their own, not those individual liberties of another person or people.

      And the liberties they most want are the ability to take away those of the people they wish to exploit.

      The key point is what liberties do they mean. And usually they mean the liberty to have sex with minor and/or effectively owning people.

        I’m hardcore socialist, but I have some libertarian friends that just want to smoke weed, they have more in common with anarchists than Republicans.

        I deeply hope that’s not a core tenant of libertarianism, how abhorrent.

          It’s not usually, the most extreme forms of libertarianism is the complete remove of government control over individual people, which includes a lack of age of consent laws and attracts a certain crowd.
