Should women wear make-up?

71. That's the irony of much of the libertarian movement. In it's need to reduce risk...

In it's drive to find a point of non-controversy, it becomes hostile to any statement or movement that is controversial. It seeks to pull those on the "fringe" back into line, to shut them up, so that the homogenous, risk averse can maintain their control.

You may be wondering who exactly it is who is risk averse but asserts power. How is it possible that both characteristics could exist in one person? That's easy to answer. We are are talking about those with ascribed privilege who, never really presented with adversity, never need risk to succeed. They, being ignorant of the necessary risk taking by others, want the entire world to function just like themselves.

This is at the core of most libertarianism. It's not so much a trick as an autonomic reaction. A base instinct to protect one's own assets. When you're at the top, there's many assets to protect.
