@Popehat@mastodon.social @arossp@mastodon.social "Libertarian" is a euphemism for "white men should get everything they want while the rest of you chumps pay for building roads and bridges."

@junecasagrande@mastodon.social @Popehat@mastodon.social No, it's not. That's a comfortable caricature that makes it easy to dismiss arguments against one's policy preferences without having to critically engage them, but we should always strive to resist such traps and instead cultivate an informed and robust understanding of the range of political thought.

@junecasagrande@mastodon.social @Popehat@mastodon.social @arossp@mastodon.social Libertarianism is, and always has been, a contested ideology with a mix of radical and reactionary elements. So, you’re not wrong. But there’s a lot more to the story too. https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691155548/the-individualists
