Something that Libertarians (and Bitcoiners) can be rightly made fun of for is the fact that those who believe in these things don't take to the streets or participate in picketing or violent revolutions. I personally admire it and like it, but it can definitely be laughed at.

Could be because of the fact that they don't want the means to contradict the ends. How can one be an advocate of the non-aggression principle while aggressing on a peaceful individual's person and property? They can't.

And they know that mobs are never rational in how they go about things, hence they do not form one.

Emotional appeals are often avoided because, being rationalists, they understand that emotions muddle the process of arriving at the truth.

Instead, they write, publish and say a lot of words through podcasts, lectures, books, debates, discussions, articles and conferences. It's the right way to go, but will take an enormous amount of time, energy, patience and investment.

Above all, since all of this is a low time preference endeavour, the kind of people who would be receptive to libertarian ideas are also often the kind who won't protest in the streets or participate in violent revolutions, strikes or picketing.

They're too busy with their jobs, businesses, families, kids, side hustles, main hustles, moonlighting, earning, saving, building, etc.

It's like God is making fun of us 🤣

It's easy to be pessimistic about things. However, it's important to know that nature always finds the way.

It's like that video where Rothbard says that ideas break the pre-existing systems. Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come, especially today in this world full of lies

I'm unable to zap you. Zapped myself accidentally instead 😂

Is your LN address working?

No. I have to address that problem
