    This is absolutely not my experience. Usually the libertarians I talk to are first and foremost contrarians who don’t want to appear politically mainstream but also usually haven’t thought too hard about politics before.

        Yeah in my experience it’s not rich white guys so much as white guys who live in rural areas, fetishize self-reliance, and not just live in rural areas, but the kind of areas where the government and regulation just kind of isn’t very present. But they tend to have an inability to imagine any other type of area than the one they live in.
