Resorting to insults is not very conductive to intellectual honesty. Your comment equates libertarianism to "wanting to keep all money" which is an extremely cartoonish understanding.

Sure, but it's true.


It's not remotely true.


This squares pretty nicely with more conventional libertarianism that I usually encounter. Lots of blather about non-aggression, intellectual honesty, and personal freedom, but practically they tend to align in favor of things that result in keeping more money, and against things that result in keeping less money.


Libertarians, especially crypto people, are cartoonish in my experience. Cartoonish is not equivalent to false. Some things in life are ridiculous, and then we should be able to call a spade a spade --- or call a bond villain a bond villain.
