re: #193 Higgs Boson’s Mate
Libertarianism thrives because its adherents know little or nothing about history. Clean water, paved roads and public education were already in place when they were born and so they feel that those things, which required years of collective effort, are naturally occurring. They spring up just like mushrooms. Libertarianism is ignorance and selfishness overlaid with a veneer of pseudo-intellectual rhetoric.
Yeah that’s pretty much how I see it too. Really so much the bolded. It really is an ideology born out of modernity and taking the modernity for granted.
