I know of someone who says they listen to Joe Rogan podcasts (political I assume) but I don’t know what this means or what the connotations are. Both this person and I live in east asia.

      Libertarian has become just a code word for pushing conservative views to people who dismiss conservatives.

        Mostly agreed. It’s also a label that conservatives who are not evangelical Christians and/or like drugs will apply to themselves. In that one sense, they can sometimes be easier to deal with on a day-to-day basis, but their entire political mindest is still a variation on “I got mine, fuck everybody else.”

        There’s usually a healthy added spice of “and particularly fuck anybody who thinks studying a lot in college and putting in long hours at a finance-bro job where everybody looks like me means anything other than I’m a self-made man.”
