I am the first to poke holes in anarcholibertarianism and in political libertarianism.
What the hey? Wouldn't be the first time I posted a flop. Back to the drawing board.
It is characterized by the site as: "You’ll fare well in a horror-movie scenario, because your natural distrust of authority and hierarchies will motivate you to save yourself instead of relying on others.
Mutually voluntary communities and just-in-time co-ops—like bands of survivors or monster-hunters—may appeal to you.
The villains that scare you most are manifestations of unchecked, irrational, predatory power: The Borg, The Thing, The Blob.

Only fair to ask since you posted the quiz.
Seems that most everyone who cared to take it here is an "Anarchist".
We don't like authoritarians and what goes with it.
I'm supposed to be a libertarian like CG later that same day said he was.

(Sorry, I just finished reading Under a Graveyard Sky)
Now unfortunately, we do have something pretty close and on a worldwide scale. They're called socialists and are as brain-dead as zombies... World War Z? We're living it right now...
World War S?
Naw, World War C rhymes with Z.
Beware of semi-shallow water.
Now that got me dino brain thinking there would far more than just sharks nibbling off all that loose dangling zombie rot for flesh.

We should make our own. I bet with the right questions and pictures, we can make well-meaning lefties into Libertarians.
ARGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Traditional values and social norms guide your understanding of society. You value order and stability, and are less than comfortable with people who break the rules or wish to remake the world in their own image. Monstrous threats that invade the sanctity of home and family (Amityville Horror, The Omen, The Shining) give you the creeps. Look out! The call is coming from inside the house.
Yup....
PS, DINO...In the meme time, I found a meme for you! Posted just moments ago.
The question about which is worse: politicians or IRS. It's more complicated than that. The IRS answers to politicians. If they changed the tax code, the IRS would enforce it. Similarly, if the people demanded lower taxes, politicians would give them what they demand in order to get elected. I picked IRS, though, because it being normal to turn over a third of your earnings is the problem.
Rubbish.
We have demanded term limits and the con-gress will never vote for term limits. They are lying traitorous scum.
The problem would be much easier if most people had a philosophy of limited gov't and the problem were politicians didn't give voters what they wanted. The problem is people accept sending a third of earnings to the gov't every quarter as a fact of life. Even people generally for limited gov't may ask their congressman to protect programs that benefit them so they get more value for their tax dollar. It's worth their time lobby for their tiny slice of the pie, but there's no system for everyone to lobby to decrease the whole gov't pie. On top of this, any new program is usually paid for by debt, so when citizens are asked if they support a gov't initiative, they don't weigh it against a price tag.
I think blaming it all on one tidy group is empty calories.
Accept it? The only other choices are (1) federal prison, (2) violent revolt (and, yes, people are not starving so they do not choose to use firearms to stop the IRS from stealing from them yet), or your so-called solution, sacrificing all principles and sacrificing your liberty by begging for a little of what has been stolen be returned.
The people have no voice in selection of the representatives, except for people who are politically connected, or wealthy enough to make large donations to political organizations. Voting is a false choice because the candidates are carefully selected by the elite and ANY candidate that acts against the deep state's interests is unlikely to succeed unless such a candidate has unlimited resources and no loved ones to be threatened (as was done to Perot.)
Those others who remain in power are lying traitorous scum.
This conspiracy theory would mean that most people actually want a limited government. They'd happily forgo their research grant, parent's medical assistance (MA), the air force base in their area, social security, long prison sentences for non-violent drug offenders, etc, but some cabal of bad guys is masterminding things by suppressing leaders who would cut government. People have the false choice, this conspiracy theory goes, to vote for someone who actually has increased spending and nearly tripled the deficit or for someone promising medicare for all, "free" education, another assorted "free" stuff. They grudgingly pull the lever for one of them, wishing there someone who shrink government. This conspiracy theory is appealing but absurd. In reality, people want the gov't to balance the budget, but without raising taxes or touching the military, social security, programs for the poor, the police state, the welfare state, college financial age, grants for research/business/education... just cut the "waste". We're here because there's no widespread real philosophy of limited government, not because of a bizarre conspiracy.
However, the IRS sure does seem to exhibit a lot of zeal doing it, doesn't it? And that's why I picked the same answer you did, on that question. :-)
Me dino wound up paying it anyway after my jumping through the dictated hoops.
The penalty was only around $35 but there's a freaking principle involves.
Yet resistance is futile when a penalty can be jacked up to serious heights with other Draconian measures in line to be inflicted.
So that is the background of why the monster test lists me a resentful dino to be a libertarian instead of an anarchist. At least I suppose that's the reason.
