Lake Baikal’s frozen surface
Large frozen lakes create distinct sounds: if you put your ear close to the surface, you can perceive these sounds: changes in temperature, in fact, drive expansion and contraction of the ice sheet 🔊

Most Libertarians are Libertarians because A) They just want to be left alone, and B) They cannot fathom a just government existing.
If this describes you, I urge you to study history. There have indeed been benevolent governments in the past, and it is possible for them to arise again.
If you opt out of the game of governance altogether, don’t be surprised when the quality of governance continues to degrade.
And if you cannot find any historic examples of stateless utopias, consider that it is a fantasy to believe they will magically come into existence now without any collective action being taken.
This is why Curtis Yarvin refers to Libertarians as LOLbritatians.
