[lbo-talk] with a whimper, not a bang

[Wojtek S]

[WS:]  Just to follow on my own post - I find libertarianism less tolerable
than straightforward right wing bigotry.  The latter is obnoxious but
understandable (which of course does not mean excusable!) - it is a
reaction of narrow minded people to dire straits.  They are squeezed by the
system and they react by lashing out at the most proximate target - like a
dog biting a stick that hits him.  The reaction is, in a way, natural.

 Every living organism wants to protect itself.  One could hope that an
organism with a brain would do it in a more targeted and effective way, but
then given the narrow horizons of these folks, such irrational lashing out
is understandable.

Libertarianism is far more callous and disingenuous - folks who embrace it
are self styled intellectuals, people with ethical sensibilities and
intellectual horizons broad enough to make an informed judgment.  What they
do instead is parroting of psychopathic anti-social babbling that would not
stand a chance against empirical evidence and disguise it as a "philosophy"

 which then they use to callously put down other people and deny them
access to resources.  The founder of Whole Foods Johns Mackey is a case in
point.  A self-styled hippie shedding crocodile tears over environmental
issues while opposing unions, living wage, and social protection to people.

 A callous hypocritical POS.  I feel nothing but contempt for creeps like
that.
