Libertarianism

I think you are getting at something important here, and I honestly don't know how to feel about it....

Yes, mob rule by the idiot masses is pretty insane, and I agree, the vast majority of people have no right to their opinions, because they can't even think them through. I am quite sympathetic to this, and think there is a lot of truth here. A big part of me has no sympathy for the masses, and at some level they deserve their exploitation by the elites.

But heres where I struggle... I worry about this tendency to be OK with exploitation, because the Elites, in their lack of caring, are perfectly OK with exploiting and doing wrong to people like you and me, who HAVE coherent beliefs, and don't deserve that treatment. How do we stop our sense of superiority over the masses from leading to this psychopathy where thinking people us have to suffer the harms.

I'm a little torn on this, and I don't think I've got it all figured out yet.
