I was a huge Metallica fanboy when I was growing up. Not so much now.

They did a lot for metal, and I'm grateful for that, but I'm more into black, NWOTHM, and atmospheric metal

Browsing libertarian subreddits was so much fun. They also didn't know what it is. But they really like guns and being racist.

Oh dude, I got my undergrad in econ. We went to libertarian conventions for entertainment (department rule, don't heckle, don't make fun until you are safely away from the venue. Don't get the department banned. Be good guests).

even though you are going to see really really funny stuff
(might not be funny to hear me tell it but I'm still laughing 20ish years later. like that one time this dude was ranting about how we used fiat money and not the gold standard. And everyone agreed with him that fiat money was totally worthless. So he held up a twenty and asked who wanted it. And every hand went up. So he tore it in two and asked who still wanted it. Well all you need to spend it is both serial numbers, and most of us knew that... He did not get the response he wanted is all I'm saying

But like the one uniting thing behind the libertarians was they weren't quite sure what they were doing there either

But I thought those kind of people also "own the libs" aka the left

"The libs" = liberals, which in a US context is often considered left (of the republican) albeit it being a very rightwing ideology, today mostly focusing on privatization of public good.

Libertarias are, in this context, hyper individualists who do not like any form of government. They do not like when their gun ownership is restricted, if they are stopped by the cops for speeding, have to pay any form of tax, or if they get a fine for dumping their house sewage into the local river.

Don't forget their violent passion for child marriage
