A country of 330 million people - yeah, libertarianism is gonna work

If you want to live in a libertarian state buy an island, I was going to add get a time machine and travel back to 1776 but even in its earliest stages the United States wasn't libertarian, far from it.

There's not a developed country on this planet with 'small government', because it can't work. It's a pipe dream.
Government doesn't "work". Crime is rampant. Wealth disparity is off the charts. The economies of the world are tanking. Police states are burgeoning. Armed conflicts all over the globe. Pollution. Strife. Discord.

BUT HOLY FUCK, WE CAN'T TRY LIVE AND LET LIVE! That is a bridge too far!
