Well, since you've resorted to name calling and it seems you are impervious to logic, I'll just come out and say what I think of this little exchange.
I don't think you are thinking for yourself. I think you are relying on the righteous feeling you get being an asshole towards people who you've been told hold beliefs that are "evil" without examining any evidence or seeking out any knowledge on your own.
You've shown extreme ignorance of the subject even though I took the time to attempt to educate you on the philosophy twice.
You've presented zero arguments, zero evidence, and I can sum up your entire goofy ramblings like this:
"Everything would be really bad if libertarians had their way"
assertions without arguments
name calling.
Sigh it's really getting boring actually how people like you are so predictable. You don't know what you're talking about, and assume that libertarianism is all about no government and no taxes, and then when I explain it to you, what do you do, do you think about it? Nope, you double down on a losing argument, resort to name calling, and just keep saying: "but everything will be so terrible if you have your way!".

You should have stopped there.
You have an unsupported belief in unicorns and a society were everyone just gets along. How anyone above the age of 5 could so completely ignore both history and current events is beyond comprehension.

OK, explain how you came to these conclusions. What are your arguments? Do you have anything to say other than name calling and baseless assertions?
