I can almost understand the Personal Liberties Libertarian, which I think is what the philosophy was originally supposed to be about. But we often see Corpo-National Libertarians or Totally-Not-An-Anarchist-I-Swear Libertarians, and both of those are baffling to me.

Yea, the only brand I ever sympathized with was the "Hey man, just let me smoke weed"-bertarians... but all those guys jumped ship a long time ago.

Now it's mostly just "I don't want to pay for schools"-bertarians... and that's ironic because those assholes really need an education.

I've meet way too many libertarians who don't want their taxes to go fund cycle lanes because they don't ride a bicycle. "it does not benefit me" they say while they fail to see that people in bicycles mean fewer people in cars clogging up traffic.

Libertarian world view cannot even see past their nose
