  1. Do you think it's advisable to argue with a prerecorded message? The contemporary Libertarians are empty vessels programmed by the oligarchs' spin machine - the Von Mises Institute. They will never accept that current Austrian philosophy was introduced by the Rockefellers or current Libertarian philosophy was engineered by other post New Deal oligarchs. The oligarchs' stooges only look at the World superficially and only repeat what has been programmed. Imagine a Libertarian stooge as a machine with a list of buttons, each with a question written into that button. When you press that button, you get the prerecorded answer to that question. So isn't it irrational to argue with a machine? The unwitting oligarch stooges don't have the capacity to understand what they are promoting only benefits the oligarchs. The modern libertarians belong to the ultimate AstroTurf cult; and in a cult you believe everything you're told and never question, you just keep repeating programmed memes. The oligarchs' ultimate trick with respect to their Libertarian stooges is to have them promote and vote against their own best interests.

  2. And I almost forgot: Consider the aspects of Austrian/Libertarian philosophy promoted by these stooges: no taxation, deregulation, privatization, etc. etc. All of which sound great on the simplistic level but these stooges aren't capable of thinking at a deeper level. Sure, these fools may like the idea of not paying taxes or not being regulated but consider it from the oligarchs point of view. The oligarchs don't want government spending so they can justify reduced taxes. With higher profits they can grow, gain power, and eventually control governments. With deregulation, they can control the democratic process (Citizens United), exploit workers, pollute, and as a monopoly, maximize profits. The most interesting Libertarian arguments are circular - let me explain. The Libertarian cult members programmed by the oligarchs are taught to hate the government. These are the same oligarchs that have subverted the government and now control all branches of that government. This oligarchical government is then used by these same oligarchs to transfer wealth to the private sector. This obvious government corruption is then used to indoctrinate their stooges in the failings of government. The result is a government with no regulatory or taxation powers but with the ability to socialize losses and privatize profits for the oligarchs. A brilliant strategy if you can get away with it, but your stooges have to be exceptionally stupid.
