Oh no? Let’s go through the list of what has happened within the last 10 million years, give or take, shall we? Coming out of the trees Walking upright Inventing tools The power of speech Free mating rights rather than merely concentrated to a dominant group member

We should start differentiating between small-l libertarianism (the actual original definition coined in 18th- and 19th-century Europe) and big-L Libertarianism (the stupid ignorant cheap imitation coined in the 20th- and 21st-century America and espoused by the “Libertarian Party’)
