1. I've definitely met a few of the Naive type.

Just CAN'T understand basic human nature. At all. Or history.

[chowder66]

2. If only they could imagine all streets signs, traffic lights and seat belts being removed.

[yagotme]

3. Knew one guy that was libertarian/anarchist.

"We need anarchy!"
"Do you own a gun, and know how to use it?"
"No."
"You won't like anarchy, then."

[chowder66]

6. Lol.

[Martin68]

19. But perhaps there is more to it when you consider that there are major differences in libertarian philosophy. On one

end of the spectrum are people who have a benign live and let live philosophy, and on the other end are libertarians who use their version of libertarianism to justify outrageously immoral behavior, as described in "Atlas Shrugged."

20. He leaned to the anarchist side. That's why I asked him the question I did.

He thought anarchy meant doing whatever you wanted. Well, he was correct, to a point, unless someone more powerful than you decided that wasn't going to happen.

[Martin68]

21. Anarchy rests on the assumption that people are basically good and don't need laws, police, or anything else to

protect people from bad behavior. That's a deeply naive POV.

[yagotme]

22. Yup. Covered that in earlier posts.

Goodwill only comes from good people.

[Martin68]

10. I think most libertarians either naive or selfish.

[yagotme]

18. Possibly, didn't do a deep dive to find out. nt

4. Love it.

5. Great cartoon

The Heinlein reference amused me

[erronis]

8. Agree. And also the (John) Galt reference.

Much to study and dissect.

[niyad]

7. That list did not include my favourite-- the hypocrite, or libertarian politician.

[LudwigPastorius]

9. I didn't see my personal definition of Libertarian.

(Although, the last one was related.)

“Libertarians are just Republicans who like to smoke pot.”

[Jokerman]

11. I've known several libertarians over the years...

Most of them have a combination of those traits but every single one of them has been both arrogant and missionary.

[JoseBalow]

12. Libertarians are sociopaths

[Pinback]

15. LOL - perfect (nt)

[LeftyLucie]

13. This is spot-on; thx for sharing. I've always liked the adage: "Libertarians are like house cats:"

"Absolutely convinced of their fierce independence while utterly dependent on a system they neither understand nor appreciate."

[Orrex]

14. "Libertarian" is a less polite term for "asshole"

Apologies to the "Left libertarians" out there who insist on clinging to a label that was taken from them decades ago and isn't coming back.

[sarchasm]

16. My fav...

Libertarianism, n: A political philosophy some people embrace after the roads have been paved.

[lonely bird]

17. Very funny and sadly true

I usually call it the theophilosophy of a spoiled 4 year old
