This sounds like a criticism of Chapo for inviting a straw man of libertarianism, but I've been watching Briahna Joy Gray duke it out with Robby for a year now on Rising, and I've seen the other professional libertarians the world has to offer, like Robby's colleague at Reason Magazine Liz Wolfe, and Robby is literally the best they can do. Robby is the libertarians sending their best.

..it's baffling whenever someone who isn't neurodivergent hitches their wagon to libertarianism. It's the most arbitrarily "pick-and-choose" ideology out there, and makes fascism look reasonably thought-out by comparison. Every laid-out discussion on how "it would all work" I've ever heard is identical to talking to a child, where any incongruity that would inconvenience their own lived life if it was made universal-policy is side-stepped with "...yeah, but it would be different if it happened to me. This is grand-scale society-ordering-politics for people who isn't me. I am different, and may be the only person alive who feels that way."

The argument that the libertarian has that choosing what you consume is more of a check on wealthy corporations than the govt is ridiculous. Wealthy people have millions of "votes" and the struggling have 100 if they are lucky. The fact that he can't address the "we have a say in govt policy. We have no say in corporation policy" is what no libertarian can answer. They think the govt is bad because wealthy corporations manipulate policy. But for some reason they believe corporations left to their own devices would behave, when literally all of history has said otherwise. Libertarianism is more utopian than any socialism and it's not even close.
