I have simply never met a libertarian who was even remotely interested in other's opinions. In every case they just want to preach it from the mountain - without exception.Frost wrote: ↑February 6th, 2018, 9:20 pmIn other words, when you cannot refute my points just label me in an attempt to negate me. I quoted an actual section of an economics textbook and you try to brush it off as "fundamentalist libertarian sources." Give me a break.Greta wrote: ↑February 4th, 2018, 1:05 am
Basically, you are a fundamentalist libertarian. Thus, you are not interested in conversation but opportunities to preach your brand of orthodoxy.
In other words, you take more or less everything done by governments for granted. Ridiculous. I think you need other than fundamentalist libertarian sources too. What you did there was the equivalent of a Jehovah's Witness quoting from Watchtower magazine.
Thus, learning from experience, once I realise that a person is libertarian then I figure that their views will be utterly fixed and will accord entirely with libertarian orthodoxy, and is therefore predictable. That, along with their refusal to countenance any counter logic, makes discussion with libertarians tend to be a frustrating waste of time for all parties - for the libertarian in finding his preaching falling on deaf ears and from others, whose arguments are not seriously considered.
