55. "America has it's problems, but it's still the best country in the world"- this isn't strictly libertarian but it's certainly a standard element of American propaganda that is kept up with the counter-examples of European hell-holes and places in the world where people are bombed daily (by us)

i have yet to meet a libertarian who either came from a background of privilege or isn't privileged at the moment. Both of those conditions, in their worlds, are the result of their own personal awesomeness.

lmao this reminds me of the story my wife told me about when she was a waitress at a hamburger joint in Arlington. she was waiting on some guy who came in by himself and read the whole time. I guess the election came up as conversation and he condescended to her for voting for gore. when he paid his ticket, he wrote her some note with book recommendations. atlas shrugged, fountainhead. gave her his number, telling her to call him when she had read them.
he left a 25 cent tip.

I once got into a big argument with a college libertarian (who was otherwise an alright guy) who was advocating that since there were a limited number of student parking spaces, the school should just auction them off to the highest bidder, because "that way whoever needs them the most will get them, because they'll be willing to pay the highest price." I said "No, that way whoever can afford to pay the most will get them." (btw this was a state school with a lot of commuters, who were (a) more likely to have less money and (b) legitimately needed the parking). The guy stared at me quizzically as though he was actually having trouble processing what I was telling him.
