Ah, missed this one:

re: #32 wrenchwench

Do the ones with sane beliefs add some compassionate protection for people in unfortunate circumstances?

Yeah, basically the ones who can read Hayek (Hayek!) on how a guaranteed basic income provides an excellent ground for liberty (instead of a twisted bureaucratic system of specific welfare, basically) and not reflexively throw the book across the room while shrieking “STATIST!”

Similarly the ones who read Adam Smith on how business owners naturally want to collude and should be checked, and don’t clutch their copies of Atlas Shrugged like a talisman.

Naturally, these types aren’t received very warmly on the broader libertarian circuit.
