    The sheer comedy of libertarians rules-lawyering international law for their intermittently flooded microstate though. As opposed to, say, using free contracts between individuals.

    Now I have another example of libertarianism for my list if I actually need to talk about libertarianism instead of just point and laugh.

      You should check out the book A Libertarian Walks into a Bear for another great example, if you haven’t already!

        I haven’t read the book but the article is definitely in the list.

        Edit: Wait, turns out I had another article in the list. I will add this one above.

        “If you’ve ever wondered about the Libertarian response to having one’s neighbours killed by bears, it’s about halfway down this article.”

          The full book is well worth the read, imho.
