I have been diagnosed with Severe Social Anxiety. I can still function relatively well in public, and can hold a job and pay bills, but I'm usually perceived as "off" or a "loner". When I talk about how I view the world and society, I've been referred to as the "Unabomber" in a few situations, but honestly that's just been a claim made by people who saw something about him on some stupid true crime show, and have no idea what they are talking about.
The truth is, people often assert certain claims that have been spoonfed to them, like it's their unadulterated opinion, when in reality, they're too lazy to think for themselves, and/or look into the opinions that they take. Some of these people who do it are actually decently intelligent (emphasis on sometimes), but again, are either too lazy or complacent to actually take the time to get to know you, or register your opinions. Either way, I completely relate to it, and it's killed off more than one potentially interesting conversation.

In many ways, Libertarian philosophy goes hand in hand with anarchy. Which is why I feel that ANTIFA is disingenuous at best.

Is Vermin Supreme even a joke candidate? I haven't personally looked to much into him.

I didn't vote in this election, despite calls from many "Libertarians" to vote for Trump, which I view as completely asinine. By voting, you choose to uphold a large scale Federal system, that will only grow more authoritarian as time goes on, no matter which party is in charge. I think a lot of true believers in libertarian philosophy would prefer to see the system change by other means; namely the dismantling of the Federal system as a whole, to the point where there really wouldn't be a president to vote for.
