Some of you are under the misapprehension that Naked Capitalism represents the libertarian point of view. If you still feel that way after reading this SIX PART series you are welcome to discuss it below.
My original post, December 6th, is quite clear about how I feel-
Then mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and revelling in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all the earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom.
I've been following what purports to be a conversation with a libertarian over at Naked Capitalism and I hardly know how to characterize it except as pathological. It's faith based and factually wrong in addition to being illegal, immoral, and selfish.
I'm not making the claim that it accurately represents libertarian doctrine or practice, or even the viewpoint of a real human being and not a fictional straw man construct.
Frankly I don't know what to think. I was appalled and horrified reading it and draw your attention because of those qualities.
