Libertarians are despicable
they say that price gouging is a good thing, unbelievable. These people have no conscious.

Libertarian nonsense

1. I prefer to think of them of having Cognitive Cancer

I simplistic idea of how society does and ought to operate has invaded their brains, spread, and metastasized until it takes over every conscious thought

3. Libertarians won't tell you, but genocide and mass human suffering
is an outcome that is part of their free market model. To which I tell them that this kind of human suffering would lead the majority of the people to accept regulation to prevent those kinds of dips in the system, and thus, creating safety nets which Libertarians hate.

A free market system is not perpetual, just like marshland is not perpetual. If left on its own natural course, it eventually becomes solid ground.

4. The free market is one of the few places in which I disagree with them...
..unfortunately, that's a huge huge area. They have it right on personal freedoms, but at the same time they miss the ball on the needed social programs in this day and age. Just remember, libertarian socialism and anarchism are completely different than this. Heh.
