>I am a Capitalist Christian
What is this dumbfuckery? Is this only an American thing? How come Capitalism takes in more religious people it doesn't make sense.

>you literally need to read like one book to get the gist of it and be able to argue for it (ideological Turing test)
>designed to appease STEMfags who generally read remarkably little
>politics based on autistic axiomatization, the notion that you can derive policies from the axioms like you would derive theorems of Euclidean geometry
>by design this implies that you need not worry about emprical reality because everything is already in the axioms
>this results in an extraordinary uniformity of thought amongst libertarians generally unattainable amongst followers of say conservatism or socialism, libertarians like to fancy themselves independent thinkers when in reality they are one uniform herd - if you've met one you've met every single one
>as a rule libertarians have very little factual knowledge or what we might call broad knowledge - this stems from their contempt for memorization and "cramming" (bear in mind - most of them are STEMfags) as well as their ardent belief in the correctness of their axioms
>incredibly ignorant of history, most engage in some form of historical revisionism
>in practice most of it has very little to do with the axioms and more to do with libertarians' extreme sociopathy and refusal to accept social categories (society, common good etc.)
>invariably always end up outing themselves as idiots whenever they support price gouging, gentrification, return to the gold standard etc.
>conspicuous ignorance of the work of actual non-Austrian academic economists, anthropologists, sociologists, non-libertarian political philosophers
>dangerously close to Republican "common sense" (as in appeal to the plebs) style of policy (government is like a household therefore we need to implement austerity measures, free trade between countries is good because free trade between individuals is good etc.)
>they are actually proud of the aformentioned, they think that their STEMfag genius extends to the domain of politics and so they do not need to read anything because again - everything is in the axioms
>infantile attempts to make connections between math/physics and politics, screams of pseudness
>worst of all - because of the intellectual appeal of libertarianism as a consistent system of thought they can maintain their illusion of intellectual supremacy over conservatives, socialists, liberals etc. in reality the idea that politics can be boiled down to two axioms is midwit tier
