      I don’t know what you said, but I can safely assume you’ve been conditioned to believe that government is evil no matter what.

      That kind of indoctrination is hard to overcome, especially when you dig your heels deeper every time you discuss it.

      Try to keep in mind that you’ve been conditioned to work against your own interests by people richer than you. These people recognize the threat government poses to their wealth, so they peddle rhetoric to people like you to get you to vote against your own interests.

      It’s very effective.

      Libertarians that aren’t making money off of the ideology just haven’t grown up yet. Once you look at the libertarians who have renounced their libertarianism, it becomes obvious who’s a child and who’s an adult.

      So basically, why limit the government which fucks you up, if you can become the government yourself and fuck up everyone you don’t like instead.

      Yes
