The Liberal Section (USA EDITION)

[HeyItsZeus]

internet libertarians are usually two or more of the following: white, nerdy, male, suburban, (hostilely) atheistic, and well-off. they usually have close-knit, supportive families as well. a true internet libertarian has never lived for long periods of time in anywhere but an affluent suburb. they are naive, sheltered fucks to a tee. they also tend to be less smug and vocal about their politics IRL - they fear (more) social rejection.
internet libertarians are mostly Randites and Ron Paul Revolution groupies. you will find them preaching their Pollyanna-like views of wanton deregulation/decentralization/isolationism in any sufficiently nerdy online venue - think Slashdot, Reddit, or an imageboard with a political discussion section.
they tend to be excessively fond of dense, idiosyncratic video games like TF2 and Minecraft

I think the only categories I hit there are white, nerdy, and male. That's pretty much the same as half the people on this site...

So no, I don't think I'm an Internet liberatarian at all. I came across libertarianism at university, whilst talking politics with my main group of friends. I don't have any problems discussing it with people IRL, in fact I enjoy pointing out all the holes in their political beliefs.

It was only for a laugh, friend. Don't take the Urban Dictionary seriously... And I will let you know that libertarianism is chock full of loop holes.
