It sounds like you&#x27;re a libertarian somewhat &quot;by default&quot;, as you say you don&#x27;t trust the political system anymore. But, to be fair, shouldn&#x27;t you compare &quot;mediocre&#x2F;bad government&quot; vs &quot;mediocre&#x2F;bad libertarianism&quot;? Both could be as bad, so that would not be a decisive reason to prefer one vs the other. Or the latter might even be worse than the former.
