 My neighbor is a raging libtard. I told him I’m a libertarian and he goes “oh so you’re a republican who likes weed?”

This is what the average person thinks about libertarianism. 
 Many morons make up the masses. 
 And you responded “no, I’m a classical LIBERAL and constitutional CONSERVATIVE who likes weed.” 
 Maybe Uniparty voters should be lumped together and called Unitards 
 He’s not wrong though 
 It's a view that has been earned by a third party with the capital L. 
 Probably wanted you to get the death penalty for not getting vaxxed  
 Probably. I keep my distance. 
 just sounds like a typical lib definition.  surprised he didn't call you Hitler  
 I always assumed identifying as a libertarian was a way to signal that your intellect far exceeds your social skills. 
 Democrats are condescending to anybody that doesn't vote the same as them. It's disgusting, particularly as they pretend to be the inclusive ones. 
 True. 
 It's a cult 
 Try to have sympathy, because although… being ignorant is a detriment to society in some sense, it is not evil. We have many great things as a result of making things for normal people. 

The average person is, even if smart and intending well, distracted and gaslit. Hopefully the mission of Bitcoin will be fulfilled and it will get better.

Also, sorry it be like that. That’s why we always gotta drive or fly somewhere to chill with people who get it. 
 Can't save everyone 
 Thats actually one of the nicer things the average American thinks about us. I have heard worse. 😆 
 Years ago I had a boomer friend who called Ron Paul a hippy.  😂  
 Does the wolf care what the sheep thinks of him? 
 You just called your neighbour names, judging them out of ignorance, because your neighbour over judged you out of ignorance? who is more at fault, and why? 
 and snorting cocaine on a weeknight  
 At least it’s kinda funny 
 blast his eyeballs out with the retro super soaker
