>Beware of Fake Libertarians
Attention all posters of this board, this is a warning about one of the single greatest threats to freedom and liberty of modern times, that threat being: fake libertarians. You may have, or have not, encountered fake libertarians before as they are, along with legitimate libertarians, common on the internet, 4chan especially. And you may or may not have had to argue against or put up with the ignorance of the fakers that often preside whenever political discussion, regardless if it’s related to libertarianism or not, that pop up on a(n almost) frequent basis.
The following characteristics that are usually exhibited by fake libertarians: constant threats about the oppression of socialism, sloppy arguments in favor of capitalism that are nothing but drenched in ignorance, racism, elitism, misogyny, constant Ron Paul or Ayn Rand references, contrarianism and/or counter-culturism, evidence that they are not older than age 18, discrediting anything non-American as either “socialism,” “fascism,” and/or general oppression totalitarianism, belittlement of the poor and/or those who have lower quality jobs like food server (regardless if the worker chose it or not), preferences towards UNIX or Linux products, arguments that unions are a threat to freedom, claiming that liberals are out to get libertarians because of our capitalism, and claiming that conservatives are out to get them because of our atheism.
