Interesting article about current state of Libertarianism. Is it really broken or why they are acting so strange lately?

In other words, he not only failed to challenge the core of Covid ideology—that other human beings are pathogenic so we need to restrict our freedoms and isolate—but used his social media presence, such as it was, to urge others to accept all the dominant lies by the government. He bought the Covid and lockdown ideology and broadcasted it. He seems to have no regrets. 

The author is a plague rat who thinks libertarianism means being able to harm others with impunity. Don't waste time on this trash.

This is a good example of extremes. Is libertarian the side of the coin I want to be on versus authoritarian. Yes. To the extent you let a pandemic run wild. Nope.

The Brownstone Institute is Tucker's project to push pseudoscientific garbage that will ruin public health as we know it. The wording "COVID ideology" alone proves that.

Libertarians are some of the funniest people on the planet. They just say literally anything about what they believe and I can't stop laughing.

Aww big bad government is stopping companies from harvesting human bodies for profit? That's so sad...
