Private business chooses not to associate with man who calls on the state to murder women for exercising body integrity. Libertarians bummed. https://t.co/VNxVUFoazD

No longer funny
Libertarianism used to be a somewhat amusing fringe philosophy, but now it’s clear that it is a gateway drug to more seriously fucked-up political tendencies, which now have gained a measure of political ascendency.
So I apologize for treating these people as clowns, when the threat they posed was as serious as cancer and should have been attacked like cancer. Now it’s metastasized.
She, The Jury
She makes Mickey Spillane look like Dostoevsky.
Flannery O’Connor on Ayn Rand.
I said good day, sir!
Willy Wonka Capitalism, makes me want to support the Revolutionary Oompa Loompa Worker’s Front.
Free State of Darryl
I have never seen libertarianism captured quite this precisely before.
I used to have this basically this exact conversation with Usenet libertarians decades ago; nothing ever changes.
Typecasting
Everything seems to be going well at the Libertarian conference

Help the World’s Poorest by Harvesting Their Organs
is the title of this supremely trolly article by one James D. Miller, a libertarian previously seen advocating for systematic government torture, which apparently didn’t get him enough attention.
This kind of thing is the political philosophy equivalent of the carnival geeks who would entertain the crowds by biting the heads off of live chickens and performing other kind of degradation.
Nightmare Alley
Hail Eris
The difference between Illuminatus! and Atlas Shrugged. Never really thought about it before but yeah, obvious now that Robert Anton Wilson is philosophically the exact opposite of Ayn Rand.
Rand Paul, egalitarian
“I have never dismembered a goat in my life”, libertarian candidate claims unconvincingly
Adrian Wyllie, chairman of Florida’s Libertarian Party, resigned his post Thursday to protest the party’s U.S. Senate candidate, accusing the rival of supporting eugenics and for being expelled from a cult group for “sadistically dismembering a goat in a ritualistic sacrifice.”
The Senate candidate, who goes by the adopted name Augustus Sol Invictus, counter-accused Wyllie of spreading “half-truths and lies” for political gain.
[update: called it.]
“I did sacrifice a goat. I know that’s probably a quibble in the mind of most Americans,” he said. “I sacrificed an animal to the god of the wilderness. … Yes, I drank the goat’s blood.”
