Re: Why people do not believe in libertarianism
[ QUOTE ]
Hasn't posts over the last several years been a sufficient enough proof of scrutinizing ones beliefs?
Once you've thought through and discussed your personal believes for years, and you still believe in them, you then start to ask two questions:
1) Why doesn't anyone else see this?
2) What can I do to convince people?

People have been trying to figure out politics and economics for thousands of years. Thinking critically for several years in no way gives you license to start concluding that people who disagree with you are delusion or motivated by some hypothetical psychological compulsion.
Good faith efforts to understand what your opponents think and why and how to convince them are of course an entirely different thing, but I don't think that's what's going on here. In any case, OP doesn't want the thread going in this direction, so I'll leave it there.
