'Warlords Will Take Over' and Other Lines Libertarians Are Tired of Hearing 

“Why are you libertarian when we’re supposed to be democrats” “If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black”

New Hampshire needs to be the first place to get actual Libertarian Party officials elected.

I love the smell of freedom in the morning

And don't forget the ubiquitous "If you won't vote for someone who has a chance of winning, you're wasting your vote." As if that is anyone else's business.

"We're a nation of laws." So, are you saying we never abolished chattel slavery? Commit treason when we left Britain? Property damage when the Boston Tea Party occurred?

Best ending "I like being free"

I hate when people tell me I'm all the negative stereotypes of a conservative, when that's not what i am.

the girl at the end is spot on.

Notice how Reason let all these interviewees hold the mic and talk freely. More trustworthy, and definitely more articulate than their RNC and DNC videos!

That "warlords will take over if we had no govt" BS really pisses me off because it's as if people never stopped to consider the number of wars govt has started. Govt is the warlord.

“Libertarianism is when no roads”

“Why do you hate the poor?” “You’re just greedy”

"You're a rasist" is by far the most stupid one.

My favorite is that “oh so you completely agree with this one libertarian, or that one anarchist,” like we’re one huge homogeneous cult that has the exact same beliefs.

"We can't lives without taxations"

Legalize freedom lol

lol the liquor one my response is always "Oh you mean the instances of illegal liquor poisoning people during prohibition? You mean the liquor the US government intentionally poisoned to dissuade people from drinking alcohol?"

"I shouldn't object to paying 26 thousand dollars a year so I can have employees who can barely read"... Priceless!

i'm tired of hearing "the codes and statutes apply cuz we say so"

Finally some normal people.

I'm tired of hearing how support for individual liberties and rights is akin to fascism and bigoted intolerance. Apparently, up is down, black is white, and wrong is right.

Libertarians think disagreeing with things will change those thing.

I hate hearing "You're only libertarian because you don't have money issues. If you were poor, then you'd vote socialist!" No. If I were poor, I'd be praying every night that we become libertarian.

My Mom never stops telling me that if I vote Libertarian, I ensure the Democrats win.

There are times when both main stream parties fall in line with libertarianism, so I get the experience of being able to agree with everyone while also disagreeing with everyone. Everyone loves me, and everyone dispises me at the same time, or more realisticly, I can make friends among any political group, but I can piss that group off at a moment's notice if I feel like it. I also know which subjects to tread carefully around and which ones I can just be absolutely streight forward about. I support gun rights and religious freedom including the right to refuse service. This includes situations where discrimination is involved. No, I don't think it's right to be homofobic or racist, but if you run a business, you don't want to be forced to serve a KKK member, and you might not even want to serve evangelical christians because their attitude toward the lgbt community, so really, we should keep the government out of it. Either way, yes, I do think you have the right to refuse to bake a cake for a gay couple. This makes the right happy, but then, I drop the bomb on them that I want to legalize weed and even decriminalize prostitution, and they feel betrayed. The same happens with the left though. I want to legalize pot, decriminalize prostitution, regulate the police, reduce their funding, eliminate the vice squad, so I'm cool until I let it slip that I don't want to poor trillions in to environmental projects and as previously mentioned, Jack Phillips can refuse to serve the gay couple. No suddenly, I'm a nasty filthy bigot. The biggest threat to freedom is people who love it, but not for everybody, just for them and their tribe.

The state of New Hampshire still proudly topping the "freest states" ranking (Cato, 2016). Good for them. The Free State Project seems to have paid off.

Because the Left wing, the Right wing are two different wings of the same bird. 🤔

I'm sick of being told that we're isolationists and I always reply that we are anti-interventionist, not isolationist.

Mom: "BUT WHO WILL BUILD THE ROADS??!" Me: "who built you phone mom? Was it the government?"

the thing is, they probably needed to get a permit just to set up tents in a field

You know what I am sick of? I am sick of people of every political view fearmongering instead of studying history, economics, other sciences, and basic dictionary definitions. Plain and simple for me.

Does Reason TV care that RU-vid is censoring this channel? I have the notification bell selected & yet I have never received any of their videos in my mentions.

You guys are awesome. It was a pleasure to sit by the fire and share my wines with you. I wish I had more time to talk about my views. Hope to meet again in the future. You guys are amazing and thank you for your diligent work.

I'm tired of people saying "axe" in place of "ask."

Wow amazing how well spoken they all are!

A third party is more necessary now than ever

I am sick of hearing "public goods"... There is no such thing

But the government just passed a $3.5 trillion spending bill. That's $10,000 for every American. Is there even a single person who expects to see $10,000 worth of value from this bill?

I'm tired of hearing "Its to protect the people that cant protect themselves" as if they know what it best for a person better than the person themselves. Self-righteous morons would rather live in a cage they know than free because freedom scares them.

I like that the one woman ignores the "white patriarchy" baloney and instead is free. Unfortunately a graduate with a degree in Comparative Art History is probably trying to find her for 'correction'.

So you guys want privatized roads, police, schools, army, mail, etc?

BUT YOU SIGNED THE SOCIAL CONTRACT!!

@ 2:41 she says "I know the only thing that the universe cares about is how we treat each other." While saying that, she is wearing a shirt that says "I don't play nice." That's how she treats others.

I'm tired of hearing two things - "That will lead to chaos & anarchy" and the mind set since government has always done it, i.e. road, bridge building, NASA, public utility regulation etc. that it can not be outsourced or done better privately.

Libertarians tired of hearing valid criticisms.

As an Australian Libertarian I hope that festival is on in the future if I ever visit the US.

Quit playing the root insurance ad

I'd like to see an example of a libertarian state in the USA. I don't know if I'd wanna live there, maybe visit, but I just wanna see how their freeways, police departments, courts, economy, etc handle the anarchy thing without taxes. And if they don't do taxes, I'd be curious to see how they pay for things like infrastructure without any gov funding. I'd like to see exactly how this would work inside the USA. And if we could arrange it, I understand no state tax, but how would they get around fed taxes?

Anarchists and libertarians are on the opposite of the spectrum.. this was not a good example of libertarians..

Point taken. But libertarians have to be extremely disciplined. It’s very easy when you’re young and able-bodied. But when you get old, state assistance looks appealing.

I hate roads!

If there is a libertarian revolution, what do ya'll do with the nukes?

it's nice to have a libertarian community in a country where the federal govt will protect you from warlords

"Well, Somalia has no government, must be a libertarian paradise." No, you need Rule of Law -government exists to protect citizens from those who wish harm, within or without, to run courts as a disinterested arbitrator and that's it. Everything else is overreach. And, Somalia... there is genuine desire on all parties' parts to impose an ideology (Islam), courts are Islamic (i.e. not disinterested) Although, funnily, Somalia actually has excellent cell phone service, with competing companies, good rates, good service. All parties want and need this and, when one particularly Islamic group attacked the towers, everyone ganged up on them

I am curious as to the libertarian view on Asbestos Exposure regulation. Should we or should we not have regulations in place for products that kill people who had little or no choice in the matter?

So no government when I think of that I think "I can have any gun I want" so I agree

wanna know how libertarians can achieve small gov? control ten to twenty percent of government, as such the libertarian govenment has enough power to create a deadloclk in the electoral college where the power will go to congress and thus we can bargain with the republican party to have rand paul be bresident and either a conservative or libertarian as vice president as can be decided by how powerful our bargaining chip is by representation in congress, but to acheive this we need to COLLECTIVLY start moving towards smaller states with populations of less then one million first, and a few states should be able to deadlock the electoral college which will shift towards the congress to decide as we will occupy certain electoral districts and states, and a brutal propaganda campaing targeted towards millenials with education plus the promise of cheap weed, afterwards we can pass legeslation to reduce government with our power, following this we will make the states we control as examples for the nation to follow, and as such we will need to start a large media company to the size of nbc, cnn, or fox plus start tv stations.

The only thing the universe cares about is how we treat each other.... and heat death.

where can i get the t-shirt at 0:57 ?

I thought the libertarian "logo" was a snake that said don't tread on me not a porcupine.

I’m a libertarian, not an anarchist. Government, like everything else you need, but in moderation.

The only thing more toxic than nerd culture is libertarian culture, and I'm a libertarian.

Yeah. Look at all those... Republicans...? 😂

what's the underlying music at the beginning of the video?

When I shit on the minimum wage I hate hearing people say, "so you're fine with people getting paid $3 an hour?"

Independent thinkers assembled in one place; a Maoist wet-dream. Protect the First and its fraternal twin, the Second!

It's right because the law says its oK We can implement and repel bad laws legal and right are not the same

"Crypto is anonymous and can thus be used for criminal activity." As opposed to regular money?

Also I had porcupine once it was good but really greasy

Feudalism isn't necessarily warlords. It could be just private courts like Wal-Mart Court in Arkansas, Apple Court in California. Vertical "live/work" companies, etc.

I think the best argument for Libertarianism is that when myself a right leaning Lib. Meets with a left leaning lib. We can have a conversation and agree / compromise on 90% of the stuff that separates us. Meanwhile check out whats happening in Red Vs Blue :D

My kind of folks

One important fact left out here. As demonstrsated over eons, monopolies and greed always rise to the top. How to dampen that drive, while remaining reasonably gov't and tax free is never, ever answered by Libertarian advocates. Btw, i was one in the late 70's and due to that gap in the philosophym i had to move on. Btw, the meme that we all, as a group have to stand on honor, integrity and fair play, on any scale beyond a cityh/state, has never happened in human history...

I love this segment.

And I'M tired of libertarians saying "we just need to VOTE for better candidates!" And other ways to Bell the Cat.

Most of the people who badmouth Libertarianism really have no idea what it is.

Definitely going next year, can one of you remind me?

Ergo decido fallacy: you can always move to Somalia.

I'm tired of hearing.

People can't understand that Pre islamic Mecca and Medina were as Libertarian as they can be 1500 years ago with multitude of faiths, philosophies and life styles but they collapsed dramatically under the new collectivist authoritarian totalitarian ideology named Islam which they disdained and laughed at at first. That's why I have no faith in Libertarianism because it is not viable on evolutionary level. These Arabs laughed at the concept of taxation having a ruler and resurrection and believing in an invisible god and call the new religion "Myths of old nations". If you van not see any similarities here then you have a problem.

What about cutting corners to save a buck like not winterizing your power grid even thought you knew you should have like Texas?

When discussing elections with statists, I tire of these lines... "Why would you throw away your vote?" "Can't let the other team win." "Gotta vote for who will win, for the lesser of two evils"... To that I say, "Your still voting for evil. Why won't you vote for individual liberty? Make the vote that empowers you." (and no socialism doesn't empower you)

WhO WiLl bUiLd ThE RoAdS???!!!!!!

I love the way libertarians have no solid answers for any of these questions. Their entire philosophy boils down to, 'If we deregulate the entire economy and give the private sector total freedom without any legislative restrictions or penalties, everything will just work out OK somehow.' 👀

Make liberty great again.

I appreciate many of these ppls sentiments however i am not sure they completely right. I'd like to move about halfway toward their positions from our current status.

"Warlords will take over" Not lying, I paused the video at the beginning, haven't watched it yet. I imagined this being the prediction if the 2nd amendment weren't willfully ignored. More reaction later...

Damn where do I buy my ticket?

What about the roads

Although I used to vote Republican I feel I align more with the Libertarians due to the fact that I'm just a staunch supporter of our constitution and I have a "leave me alone and I leave you alone" mindset.

Question I would ask libertarians after watching this video: "So wait, you're hippies?"

As a communist, I admit you're right on one point : a libertarian society won't be overrun by warlords. Instead, it will be overrun by brave New Hampshire black bears.

Holy shit, never found a place that seems so fitting. While trivial, I always felt like despite more right-wing politics, I'm drawn to more "liberal/lefty" culture and things. Art, nerdy stuff, cafe stuff, and yet here the first thing you see is some crazy gypsy stuff and a guy with guns and coffee starbucks parody shirt. Flowery artsy blankets, pop culture shirts, and yet that bit of conservative flea market stuff I'm used to seeing with pro-'murica stuff, coin collections, and pro-gun rhetoric. It feels really good. That said, if I were to argue just a bit, I'm not exactly an anarchist (or an-cap, if we're to be technical) and I will say there's still a point when the warlord argument is used. Its not just about "warlords" though, and the thing is their answer here isn't exactly debunking it. The point of the warlord argument isn't "but what if", it's rather a nod to human nature, its just that warlord is the biggest hyperbole in expressing that. The real idea is groups, or groups of strong power. Maybe warlords, maybe companies, maybe a self-appointed mayor entirely selfaware that he's trying to restate a government, or maybe a combined effect of it all. Actually, probably a combined effect of it all. Eventually it becomes a powerhouse that owns or rules over a vast amount and becomes the exact equivalent of some kind of government, throwing out the anarchy. People will gravitate to the safety of these groups, or their propaganda, and then the act of anarchy isn't a politically grounded work, but a phase towards transitioning out an old and into a new. At its very strongest, you'll have a small community holding itself up well as idealized, until a bigger power hits it, maybe even foreign from a place that never underwent an anarchy. That's why I'd much rather just settle for a stricter republic. You have a solid nation and government that defends its people, and upholds the freedoms you set. They, like the warlord scenario, could still try to grab at more power, but you've still got the actual outlines for the ideal society. By the very fact of the matter that countless libertarians are going strong on the words of the constitution, regardless of how much its being trampled on, is a show of such power that a lawless nation does not have. By its nature, the anarchy will be bound by nothing, and will fade in due time, whereas a constitution is history and preserved to be fought over and won another day. It better understands we're social, structure our world, and set rules and ideas, and even if it ever fails it will hold stronger binds and inspire the generations to come for a better position.

WHO WILL BUILD THE ROADS

My people!

Sam Seder will try debunk this.

Not so much on bored with the anarchy part, but you makes some good points. Think I’m gonna stick to John Stossle though

The lady at the end says it all: "I like being free."

I'm for a night-watchman state + some basic environmental regulations (1970s type of EPA).

"What about them roads."
