The white supremacist origins of "public choice theory," the bedrock of contemporary libertarian thought

In the real world people make practical decisions that mostly end up relating to kicking out assholes rather than political differences.

When I talk about anarchists not being able to agree on what makes someone an anarchist I do so from a place of affection as I was active in anarchist or at least anarchist-positive organizations in university. When I see libertarians saying, “well, that person isn’t a real libertarian” I see it as a little ironic, but I also cut them a lot of slack because I recognize where it’s coming from.

I don’t cut them any slack on anything else.
