Why is libertarianism so infallible?

It is due to it being the application of political science. It does not permit failed policies to be continued fruitlessly year after year with idealistic fervour, it is next to impossible for anyone surrounded by fierce libertarian critics to continue clinging on to lies. It is a purely functional machine, lubricated with justice and fueled by free speech.

The statist quo is not libertarian in any sense of the word, the reality is very simple...

First of all the free market is an organiser of economies not an economy itself, so if a free market economy is war torn and collapsed to begin with, like Japan in the late 40s, it is hardly the free market's fault that orphans get thrown out into the snow bladiblabla.

Secondly people are rich for different reasons, some are professionals like surgeons, succesful entertainers, succesful business leaders and university professors who are rich because they fill positions in the economy few others can. Of course there are playboys who inherit a few million. Then there are people who own an unnaturally huge amount of cash due to their exploitation of state intervention in the economy, the federal reserve, the EPA and our income tax system. These people earn 10s of millions of dollars through hedge funds and accountancy firms geared to taking advantage of these loopholes and they are often heavily involed in politics or a vital sector of the economy themselves to preserve the statist quo that maintains state intervention in the economy.

Rome had bread and circuses, America has welfare checks and evangelism/social initiatives. While the super-rich have to pay tax like everyone else it is token compared to the amount paid by the middle and professional classes, they detest welfare but for them it is a fair price to pay in exchange for the support from the lower classes for the loopholes in the economy they profit from.

The demographic you are talking about are young males who came from a lower-middle class background, excelled in education and quickly began earning a lot of money only to discover the statist quo set up by democraps and republicunts to appease the masses at their expense. If they were born into money and had a statist quo to maintain they would become republican but these yuppies prefer libertarianism since they wish to topple the statist quo and don't see the logic behind their social restrictions.

Bear in mind this isn't a conspiracy, there are no jews or gray aliens behind this, it is simply a bunch of super-rich assholes who set up lobbyists to push for some random bullshit some portion of the masses cares about and their little loopholes along with it.
