Friendly reminder that most libertarians are autistic or ADHD.
It turns out that only people with the ability to hyper fixate are morally outraged by the monopoly on violence.
Everyone else is primarily concerned with the things that are 6 inches in front of their face.
That explains a lot about me..
Dave Smith has described libertarianism as "a distinctly American form of autism".
ADHD and autism is _mostly_ a woke psy-op.
So I'm gonna politely say, um—no.

Man you nailed this more than you know. Going to bookmark this one for periodic sanity checks.
I've heard this so much on the left. Are you ______? You're probably on the spectrum/ADHD! It's so wonderful, now you can blame all your behavioral issues on these words and people have to believe you and you never have to improve.
Right he funny thing is that most of those people are neurotypical masquerading as atypical. Meanwhile here in bitcoin we actually do have a bunch of autistic people lol 😂
There was a guy on TFTC recently and I was listening to it like, man. This guy's literally an autist 😂🤣 you can't fake the real thing
Sometimes social conventions are adhesive, and sometimes simply restrictive.
I'm probably not autistic.
It gives me comfort to see 20,000 confirmations of a transaction. Nobody is changing that shit
God I fucking hate that. Even my friends use those words to oversimplify everything and pretend there's one fixed way it operates as dictated by experts.
I've had to spend years deprogramming them.
Libertarians are a cop out. They like the convenient definition to feel tough.
Most don’t have any fight. And they want lawlessness to promote their own shit ideas.
Nations need Kings. Long standing Kings. I’ll step up & we will all march forward toward greatness.
Thanks. I needed this.
Specially now when I'm surrounded by pseudo-bitcoiners libtards that defend statism and authoritarians because they are painted with a thin libertarian coat of marketing. 🇦🇷
Or 3 inches in their pants
Also people who are unusually intelligent, curious, and logical.
Friendly reminder that governments don’t actually have a monopoly on coercion. Coercion can be present to varying degrees in any contract where one party has limited available alternatives. For example, in the healthcare market, the alternatives available to a customer are sometimes either 1) paying any arbitrary amount of money for a life-saving treatment, or 2) dying.
Compare this to a local government that wants to raise school taxes. You can avoid these if you move a few miles down the road into the next local jurisdiction. I have yet to hear a compelling explanation for how a local government has more coercive pricing controls than a healthcare provider or health insurance company.
First, the healthcare market is nothing more than a government regulated racket. However, even if it was fully free market and you didn't want to pay somebody to provide their time and services to save your life, that's not their problem. You can't enslave people, even to save your life. And relating this to coercion because somebody won't provide a service to you without you compensating them is just trying to force a definition onto something you don't like.
Second, a local government forcing you to move in order to not pay a tax you don't want to payis coercion. Plain and simple. If you don't pay the tax, they arrest you.
So scenario 1, you don't pay for a service, you don't get it.
Scenario 2, you don't pay for a service you're thrown in jail.
I'm still unsure if it's my 'tism or assholishness that prevents me from being able to associate with most normies. Thinking it's mostly the latter, although i find it really hard to be too friendly with anyone who i principally disagree with on some of my most important topics (money, health, family).. All that's left is topical shit like "did you see the game? how about the weather?". Pass.
The thing is, I happen to have lived at a place and time when the state in question lost its monopoly on violence for some years.
Want to know what happens? The mob takes over. It’s relatively fine if you’re poor. You just need to be able and willing to defend yourself against relatively petty criminals. If you have something of value though, or have a business. Well, then you need “protection”. And it’s not like you can hire normal security companies for this. They don’t really exist, all of it is the mob in one form or another. You can’t go without protection either. The “protection” will find you and make you their “client” at an exorbitant cost. Kind of like the government, just with a significantly higher “tax” rate.
Your only way out is pretty much becoming the mob yourself, with everything that entails. Including constant fear because you’re mostly at war with someone. I still see people living in literal fortresses for fear of what they did during those years catching up to them now.
It’s not pretty. Nobody should want this. The idealistic picture of what would happen that often gets painted is off by a mile or ten of what actually happens.
