It is my embittered conclusion that most of the so-called libertarians in the U.S. are just Randite reactionaries, and believe that the only justifiable reason for government is to keep the peasants from stealing their stuff, by whatever means necessary.

Keeping anybody except gunowners, drug salesmen (especially "health" swindlers like the fake cancer cure hucksters) and railroaded corporate skating-on-the-edge-of-legality types out of jail doesn't seem to be on their radar.

(And all the exceptions I encounter are in fandom.)
