  We should put the psychopaths that can’t care about others in a reserve, where they can make their own hellscape, away from normal people.

  So we can have a normal society without some insane psychopath arguing about healthcare, because he happens to not need it.

  We will see who’s society is better

    Did you ever read “A libertarian walks into a bear”? It’s a non-fiction book about a bunch of libertarians that moved to a small town, and used their new voting bloc to try to bring about their libertarian paradise. It went badly. There were bears.

    The author points out how a nearby town that was otherwise very similar. It had prospered during the time libertarians were driving their town into the ground

      I don’t read proper books very often but the title of that book got my curiosity, and tried the first three chapters and I don’t know if I have a really fucked sense of humor but it really got me laughing at how absurd early US history is in hindsight, not having to live through it. Anyway thanks for that, probably gonna finish it.

      This sounds like a fascinating read lol. I’ve never heard of that before!

      Regardless of ideology, I do find those “let’s start our own society” accounts very educational, because everybody thinks they can do it better, but there’s a lot of pitfalls and footguns to learn from.

        Have a look at this: newrepublic.com/…/libertarian-walks-into-bear-boo…

        It’s about that town, Grafton. Great read. The book itself is great too.

      Funny enough, I hear it worked decently until then.

        A dude died of exposure because he couldn’t afford his heating bill. If you think people who don’t have money should simply die, then I guess it was working decently.

    Digitally, we’ve already done this, and called it LinkdIn!

    Now we just need to make their real-life influence null and void so we can get on to getting along…
