Populism and libertarianism are about as opposed to each other as it gets.

Very true. Most people want to leech off of your success while simultaneously telling you what you can and can't do with your personal life. That's why the mob must be resisted at all costs.

Most people want to tell others what to do because they got lucky and chalk it off success, simultaneously telling you how to become like them as the only way, while also telling you that you'll never have the chance that way. And they'll dig into your personal life while getting pis&y when the shoe drops the other way.

But there are those that know this sh&^ is just wrong. They are usually dismissed as a mob.

You gotta resist the mob hating elite at all costs for exactly these reasons.

Luck is a fiction invented by socialists to explain their failures.

Yes, because you absolutely have control over whether you’re born rich or poor.


I'm a determinist. I don't believe in luck because I don't believe that there is any alternative for any event that has ever happened.

Not a typically libertarian position to essentially deny free will.

I try to confront uncomfortable truths even when they don't comport with my desired worldview.

Doesn't really matter if it's true or not, though, no?
