And there is a general consensus here about those libertarian views?
I'm impressed. Sorry to repetitively check the ethical temperature of
the community, but I come from social horizons where it's not only not
natural, but generates hatred. I never could talk about libertarian
ideas outside of one or two family members and two or three friends.
Here, it seems the norm, and I simply can't believe it.
As I said before, Wikipedia acted like a magnet on me. I'm wondering if
it's uniting all the (internet connected) libertarian of the world. In
this case I'm surprised that it didn't receive more serious attacks from
the establishment.
