He was always a Cato-esque, "corporate tax rates should be 3% lower, but let's not do anything 'radical' that might actually reduce the size and scope of the state!" kind of libertarian, but he went off the deep end over covid.

@incognitum idk i thought reason was a stupid website when they said TPP was good actually.

i came at libertarianism from ron paul and heinlein angles and was quite unhappy that apparently a libertarian now means corporate cocksucker.

@subtype @incognitum i'm really big on individual liberty and hoarding technology. don't really like being told what to do or being weighed down by stupids. :blobmojidrool:

if they're too dumb we need to drag them up not tear everyone else down

> It’s just rich white guys that don’t want to be told what to do

The subtext that non-whites are naturally subservient is...weird.

@realcaseyrollins :youmusip: we don't talk about how racist and sexist the wokes actually sound half the time

@realcaseyrollins the WEF basically declared war on libertarians recently though so its kind of amusing timing for him to say that
