        How did that guy ruin the economy…

        He executed an enormous wealth transfer from the general public to a handful of political insiders. Those insiders them rigged the election in his favor.

        Some people will tell you this “ruined” the Argentinian economy, the folks in the know recognize that the Free Market is operating exactly how it should.

          This is true. Tech companies pumping hot air into the Ai bubble are not going to lose a single cent when their investments go up in flames. It’s the American people that will bail them out.

    Capitalist “Libertarianism” seems to always go hand in hand with ramp up of Military and surveillance and it’s somehow not in conflict with a “small state” in their eyes. Libertarians also loved military dictator Pinochet.

      It’s because they’re privileged people who only notice government when it inconveniences them. Liberty for them means “I can do whatever I want and I am under no obligations to my country or anyone else.” Underneath the rhetoric, the motives are the same as for “small government” conservatives. They care only about what directly inconveniences them, not about principles or other people. Small government or freedom from government just means “don’t ask anything of me.”

    Ah yes, “the don’t tread on me” party. Most leftists I know ring more true to the definition of libertarians than actual avowed libertarians.

    Libertarians just want smaller government of other parties, they want absolute control. Just like Musk is a “free speech absolutist”

    Zac Efron could start the character actor stage of his career playing this guy (who looks like a frumpy version of him).
