@Robert_Ziehm In some definitions (Jason Brennan) they count as "libertarians" — PolitiTweet.org

Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb

(A qualifier. I am favorable to a non-naive anti-utopian version of "libertarianism", in a classic liberal sense, w/limited but not absent central state (for contingencies), include mechanisms, scaling, & local gradations; the world is in 3D not 2D; tort laws ~beat regulation.) — PolitiTweet.org

So-called "Libertarians" claim that we need protection from coercion by the state. They PROVED that we need the STATE to protect us from coercion by a cabal of 38,000 ARMED "Libertarians" aiming to thwart the electoral mechanism. So we need the state to protect us from Coercion? https://t.co/niNS8ZReA1 — PolitiTweet.org

@SocialWealth @pkedrosky Paul, I saw the papers and something told me you need to log. As so far everything in cardio metrics. Mortality speeds up at very low levels. Correlation and R^2 would improve. https://t.co/hL9NK3XeNa — PolitiTweet.org

Lesson 14 will be on (Anti)Fragility, posted within 24 h. [Note: It hit me that just as Covid psychopaths are using antifragility w/o understanding it, perverting it & contradicting its central points, they also may be hijacking some libertarian authors.] https://t.co/uaCk3vMbg0 — PolitiTweet.org

@joe_shipman Joe, again you are diverting. The point is not this or that vaccine but invoking LIBERTARIAN principles against it. — PolitiTweet.org

@GDuarteFaria Yes, Rothbard. Completely hideous. Overall, except for Hayek, not one of these libertarians approaches any form of scholarly aptitude. Which explains why they can only work in propaganda think tanks. https://t.co/QRZGihoCVn — PolitiTweet.org
