Libertarianism basically says people should be left up to the whims of the free market.
Ok, cool. Sure.
My inner sailor-ocean bum Anarcho-Daoist Catholic digs that.

But to understand the whims and rhythms of the free market, you have to have a profound amount of time invested into:

A Secure home
A home computer
Excel
learning stats,
learning calculus,
learning how to read a quarterly report,
learning how to forecast risk,
learning how to manage risk forecasts,
learning the difference between Normal Distribution, Fat Tail, learning what the fuck logarithmic distribution is,
learning Why the Black-Scholes Thingy-dealie is such bullshit

I’m not a financial dumbass. I kill my small enemies first. I have 16 years of private school education. I speak the languages of Empire.

And I’m barely treading water.

Libertarianism is a Gas lWhite Power Scam, y’all.
