If someone uses the word "Statist" in their dialogue a lot . . .

. . . do you usually think "Few Twinkies Short of a School Lunch" or is it just me?

Seeing it come up way too much as of late . . . like it's another coordinated slight.

Libertarians are really nothing but fascists in disguise.

. . . it's like a full-on invasion from Alex Jonesers and Ludwig Von Mises (a favorite of far, far right Libertarians) fans because they're railing against economic unfairness. They're all boo-hooing "The Koch's aren't Libertarians! They're not what the 'free market' is about!!".

What's funny is that the kind of economy most of them want is the very definition of "central planning".

Like Milton Friedman, they think they have a simple answer to all the world's problems and we'd have a utopia if we'd just follow their advice. They have a really twisted view of the way things should be and can't accept basic facts about humanity that contradict those views. It all boils down to an underlying very deep hatred of humanity.
