>You’re not suppose to eat road kill because it makes their poop sacks burst into their blood stream making it inedible for this very reason.
See, what you do it, on the way to work, you paint circles around the roadkill you find. On your way home, you know that any roadkill without a circle is fresh enough to eat.
When you open up the animal, the intestinal integrity will be very apparent, visually both mostly the smell..
If everything checks out, get home, whip out your road kill cookbook and have at it.
There's a book about this absolutely insane and ridiculously stupid experiment, called A Libertarian Walks Into A Bar:
https://www.amazon.com/Libertarian-Walks-Into-Bear-Liberate/dp/1541788516
I'm sending a couple of copies of this anonymously to some of my stupider, more smug family members who I can't stand to talk to anymore
Commenting to circle back to.
I did read “The Worlds Most Dangerous Places” many years ago. Really interesting and unique look at the world around us.
I don't care. The most you can say is that these are minor transgressions. No one is using derogatory slurs, no one is calling anyone lesser and blantly attacking them for their race.
You must be boycotting every book seller while you are at because there's a book called "Stuff White People Like" https://www.amazon.com/dp/0812979915/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_cbDcGbP2JNG3F
This is what we used to think.
Then Libertarianism got a hold on a town, and the town got invaded by bears, and the bears started attacking people and the town didn't get enough money to fend them off, and people started dying. In a span of 10 years. True free market capitalism collapses harder and faster than government-regulated sociocapitalism.
Obligatory reading: https://www.amazon.com/Libertarian-Walks-Into-Bear-Liberate-ebook/dp/B083J1FXY8
I grew up in the greater Boston area and went to college in the midwest. Met a guy there from California, whose dad had written a book... about Boston. Specifically how utterly bonkers Boston drivers are. I just about died laughing at how accurate it was. If I remember correctly, the first chapter advised not to worry about the first few dings and dents on your vehicle... it was the only way to be safe from getting any more. I've included the Amazon link, if anyone wants to look. https://www.amazon.com/Boston-Drivers-Handbook-Streets-Almost/dp/0306813262
Actually, this happened in a small NH town and someone wrote a book about it: A Libertarian Walks into a Bear
And my favorite quote(unknown source) about libertarians. It really does sum up the examples in New Hampshire.
>Libertarians are like house cats: absolutely convinced of their fierce independence while utterly dependent on a system they don't appreciate or understand.
A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear: The Utopian Plot to Liberate an American Town (And Some Bears) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083J1FXY8/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_BH9P4M8YBBTQVD5WMJYE
That book is fantastic, particularly because it is basically a real life account of people getting their faces eaten by leopards that had totally promised not to eat those people's faces.
Hmm, bear attacks are a symptom of a libertarian infestation. Has there been an increase in interest about cryptocurrency and age of consent laws in the area? Maybe some random copies of Atlas Shrugged left around?
"Soonish" by Zach and Kelly Weinersmith. Fun read about future technologies by the guy who makes SMBC comics and his scientist wife.
"A Libertarian walks into a Bear". Fun upfront, didn't quite stick the landing, but still an entertaining read about what happens when internet libertarians interact with small town folks and honest-to-God wildlife.
Cannibalism: a perfectly natural history. Good read about the topic, from species that eat their mates or their young, to modern case studies on the subject.
And I see you were downvoted like I was. lol.
Recommended reading for anyone wondering what their lybertarian utopia would look like: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Libertarian-Walks-Into-Bear-Liberate/dp/1541788516
Are the outcomes better? Is it cheaper? Yes. Good enough for me, because I'm a smart practical guy, whereas you're a libertarian. You should read this book about how well the Libertarian ethos worked in New Hampshire

How many times does libertarian "no government all privatization!" crap need to lead to a dystopian failure before people realize its a giant scam?
Well, makes for some fun reading at least.
They also had massive issues with sanitation because, it turns out, no one really wants to clean sewers or pick up trash. That's another reason why they had a huge issue with bears and wild animals.
The book about it is a complete trip. I definitely recommend checking it out.
There's also the Minerva project where a bunch of libertarians tried to proclaim that they owned a coral reef outside of Tonga. The king of Tonga showed up with a group of prisoners to assert ownership of the reef. Didn't stop the libertarians from conning a bunch of investors out of their money though for minted coins.
Then there's Colorado Springs where a "big business" libertarian was voted in, and pretty much every effort to de-regulate and limit costs led to significantly higher costs afterwards. For example, they decided to only light 2/3rds of the street lamps so they could drop people's taxes. They saved about a million dollars on electricity.
Problem was, thieves then showed up in the cover of darkness and ripped out the copper wiring from the unpowered, unlit lights. The cost to fix the damage? More than $5 million.
Libertarianism makes for a fun thought experiment, but taking it farther than that almost always explodes in their faces.
>Amash is a Libertarian and when he was a Republican was a very anti-Trump Representative.
Libertarianism is a scam and that political movement is only good for splitting the GOP vote. That and making funny subjects for books about bears. and the GOP has been rotten long before Trump. Nixon and Reagan were corrupt assholes too.
>The wars in the middle east were supported by Democrats and continued by the Obama administration
Yeah and I voted against HRC and Biden in their primaries in part because of their Iraq war attitudes. Old line liberals tend to have problems like that. Hopefully a new generation of leftists can buck them and lead in opposition to the authoritarian right instead of making constant concessions to them.
>The wars in the middle east didn't put us in direct threat of war with Russia and thus nuclear war.
I highly doubt Russia would use a nuke on America because it was one of many nations that gave Ukraine supplies. That is such a massive escalation. If giving supplies to a country was enough to justify nukes we wouldn't be here to talk about it by now. That was the cold war in a nutshell.
All the nuke bullshit is just saber rattling. No nation wants to commit to mutually assured destruction because they got a bloody nose after they fucked around and found out by accident.
How do you feel about libertarian socialism? Everyone is everyone else's responsibility, not the ineffectual government's? Otherwise, you get: https://www.amazon.com/Libertarian-Walks-Into-Bear-Liberate/dp/1541788516
I'll just leave this gem of a book here.
A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear: The Utopian Plot to Liberate an American Town (And Some Bears) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1541788494/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_YCX5SBRCW68GVZRYPRC8
The book about it was deeply researched and very well-written, a good balance of genuine respect for (most*) of the people who live there, and laughing at the absurdity of the situations the continuously create.

I just happened to read a book on how humans handle it when nature breaks human laws right after, and they made a nice pair:
Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law https://smile.amazon.com/dp/1324001933/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_V6B9GD27MQ4KD57AHW5Z
- Libertarians would never attempt to make a "paradise" or "utopia". Those concepts simply aren't a part of their beliefs.
- The "invasion of black bears" was actually one lady, who was a local and didn't move there, who was feeding them and letting them get into her trash.
- Literally every article and report on the incident is based on the same comedic book: "A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear The Utopian Plot to Liberate an American Town (And Some Bears) by Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling".
- Libertarians still live in Grafton, quite a few of them. Its fine.
- Just check out the Amazon page for the book. Some of the reviews explain how the book is a fictionalized account of the town. The excerpts are basically all about "capitalism bad, government good". https://www.amazon.com/Libertarian-Walks-Into-Bear-Liberate-ebook/dp/B083J1FXY8
Getting seriously sick of the libertarian cult bullshit that's infected every YouTube channel and podcast I used to hold dear. If anyone feels drawn in by that shite, it's been tried, and it doesn't work (except for the rich cunts that push it in the hopes of becoming kings): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Libertarian-Walks-Into-Bear-Liberate/dp/1541788516
The book is a good read:
<em>A Libertarian Walks into a Bear</em>
Basically, not only were the Grafton NH libertarians a bunch of chucklefucks, but they also didn't count on the Statehouse being taken over by the Free-State movement, which predictably, redirected what little funds were available the wealthier communities to do all then normal government stuff... you know stuff like fire departments, land managment, and friggin' bears, lol.
Libertarians constantly try to establish their own "countries" to demonstrate their ideals and it's hilarious every time.
https://www.amazon.com/Libertarian-Walks-Into-Bear-Liberate-ebook/dp/B083J1FXY8
Es lo mismo... tampoco se puede ser libertario y pretender que el estado no es necesario. Si vives en USA, puedes leerte https://www.amazon.com/Libertarian-Walks-Into-Bear-Liberate-ebook/dp/B083J1FXY8 o pedirlo en tu biblioteca... Es un trabajo de investigación real, bastante sui generis sobre las primeras comunidades "free town" en norteamérica. Cero estado es una locura también.
I've got a great book for 'anarcho-capitalists':
A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear
Story of a real town that managed the 'impossible', and defunded near all government programs, and 'freed' the people from its tyranny! It was the 'ideal' libertarian paradise!
Wherein then the town received a whole bunch of sex offenders moving in, the police became effectively useless as they could not afford to repair or replace any of their equipment, and then came the bears.
Because there were effectively no mandates against disposal of waste, people would just throw away their trash wherever, which attracted the local wild life. Bears are a part of local wild life.
Great read showcasing the logical conclusion of a number of their ideals in practice. Shame it happened to a real place though.
On the humorous side, the Boston Drivers Handbook.
Its how to drive like you live here.
