Y'know, massive respect for commiting to the bit. 10/10.

I do not. Many of my friends don't either. Do we still "deserve it"?

Libertarian has two different meanings, depending on who you talk two.

In the modern day, and unless they qualify it, "libertarianism = anarcho-capitalism".

Classical libertarianism (sometimes left libertarianism, or libertarian socialism) is more akin to anarcho-syndicalism. Advocacy for ownership of the means of production via trade unions and the like, with the goal of obsoleting the state and capitalism, that kinda thing.

EDIT: Also, capital-L "Liberalism" in the US is more than a little bit of a departure from liberalism. It's mostly evolved into a meaningless pejorative the far right uses against the center-left (and when I say that, I'm talking about center-left from an American perspective, so really more center-right)

They're all intent on just derailing the conversation!

The reason that is that fiction has to be coherent. It has to make sense.

Reality is under no such constraint.

I think this is the primary hitch.

Personally, if there was a service like Bluesky that let you choose your algorithm instead of just being purely chronological, I would jump on that very fast. That's what Bluesky's killer feature is, imo.

Apart from, y'know, not being the hellsite that is Twitter.

I imagine Valve would give them a pretty strong slap on the back of the head if they didn't.
