ANDREW BRANCA: Libertarianism is a luxury belief of a high IQ culture that's protected against low- IQ, third world invasion.

Libertarianism is a luxury belief that can survive only when safely ensconced within the wealth of a functional, high-IQ, high-trust, first-world society. It cannot survive exposure to the 92% of the world's population that is dysfunctional, low-IQ, low-trust, third-world… pic.twitter.com/SKxYrauO4z

Reading a subscriber's comment: 

The old Libertarian coalition required free flow of people regardless of whether we could go there or what their merit.  But even now they're not willing to compromise even though they can get welfare.  Libertarians insist we must remove the welfare not add border controls. 

Listen, Libertarianism it's one of those political perspectives that you have as a kid, right.  There was a point in my life, I think I was in my first year of college.  I actually sent money to the Libertarian Party.  I was a card carrying Libertarian.  But Libertarianism is a luxury belief of a high IQ culture that's protected against low- IQ, third world invasion.  So Libertarianism works if you're Ayn Rand living in America, if you're Robert Heinlein living in America, your high IQ.  Everyone you interact with is high IQ.  You have no real exposure to low IQ people, certainly they're not in charge of anything.  So they're not a constraint to anything you want to do.  And if you have this imaginary world where everybody was an IQ of 100 or better, Libertarianism might work.  But that's not the world we live in.  That's the white population of the world, which is now, you know, down to 8%.  Most of the world is not that.  Most of the world is mentally retarded and libertarianism doesn't work with mentally retarded people.  That's why Libertarianism can't work. Right there, it's the IQ map again.  The IQ map it's always the same map, and it answers all the questions.
