Libertarianism is immature and unnatural. But is not really
dangerous at all. It is completely impotent politically and will
remain so for quite a while. Most people are not interested.

Conservatism is a necessary part of a functional society. It provides
a base and continuity. It is only a problem when it becomes
permanently
entrenched.

And that's OK. They usually wind up bitter & frustrated because change
is
inevitable.

I'm a radical independent. Without radicals society could never move
forward. Stagnant societies simply fizzle out.
It 's the ones in the middle who have empty wasted lives. Moderates
Liberals, Libertarians and others. Once they reproduce, they become
shallow and empty. Consumers.
These are the people that capitalism loves. Dumb, brainwashed beasts
of the field.
These are not death sentences though. No one is compelled to stay in
any category except conservatives.
