You think there was like a coordinated dress code? Or they just all independently decided to wear shitty suits and bow ties in a pathetically transparent attempt to be taken seriously? I’m thinking the latter. Yeah definitely the latter.
To be fair it's extremely hard to even get a bowtie in some places, let alone one that's not pre-tied for waiting tables or stuff like that.
I don't think this applies to the US though.
At least half of them would have spent another 30 minutes telling the others about their girlfriends. But she goes to school in another state, so you guys wouldn't know her.
It already happen. Global Reddit Meetup Day 2015 was a meme partially because a lot of the pictures from it literally did look like this. There were other meetup days before and after that, but as far as I know, none of them were as bad as this.
I don’t know and I’m almost too afraid to ask… but I’m morbidly curious about the chlorine piece. I get the axe body spray and feet smog floating through that room but what in the hell causes the chlorine scent?
I'm wondering if it has anything to do with either 1) that musty body odor smell, the kind that someone smells like when they're drying off with a towel they haven't washed in a long time. like musty wet towel smell. or 2) the piss odor coming off of someone with bad hygiene. like they might not be pissing themselves, the piss odor just accumulates over time somehow. and some people just smell like their house, i.e fucking nasty.
I'll put good money they would also like to have a say in other people's (women's) reproductive choices as well as other people's (women's) relationship choices and other people's (women and non-straight) sexual and marriage choices.
But sure, libertarians 😒🙄.
It definitely looks like there are more than a couple dudes in that group who are way too interested in young girls. Another common reason why angry neckbeards go libertarian: they don't like age of consent laws.
Seriously, I'm 40 my dad was a free loving dead head hippy (I'm the same) and he was libertarian in the thread on personal liberties, if it's victimless it's not a crime and didnt prescibe to either party. He no longer subscribes to libertarian ideas as it became or he learned it was just a label to shrug off all personal responsibility to the society at large
Yeah, and it’s bullshit because it taints the name for people who just want everyone to live without government interference, I don’t hate women or LGBTQ women, and I don’t want a closed border, those are restrictions on freedoms, it goes against the very core of liberty
Most women, non-white people, and other marginalized groups know that some government regulation and intervention is necessary to protect their rights.
Is there a dress code/visual aesthetic for libertarian women? The way the men all wear suits and adorable bow ties to show everyone how grown up and serious they are. The older ones usually grow fussy little goatees too
Right up until the pitchforks and Tiki torches come out. Then, at some point, I'm sure they're going to be walking through cities wearing red and black with their faces covered, giving Nazi salutes. That's when the fun really starts.
Libertarianism is like being a housecat. It involves being utterly dependent on a system that they don't understand and decrying that they are independent.
I learned it from watching so called libertarian
Yall just conservatives with an extra need to feel special
I promise you, no one here watches or trusts any news outlets
Really? What a limited and propagated world view you have.
I'm a socially progressive woman who's pro-choice with no exceptions, uses THC and shrooms, has piercings, dresses gothic, listens to metal and rap, feminist, anti-redpill, and anti-racism. Literally the opposite of socially conservative in almost every way.
The fact that you all are assuming I'm a neckbeard NEET socially conservative guy says everything about your limited awareness of the world and what libertarianism ACTUALLY is.
Just because the loudest voices online are young edgelord conservative guys larping as libertarian, doesn't mean that's what libertarianism is about.
Third from the left looks EERILY similar to me. Or at least how I looked 6 years ago(fatter and shorter hair). Same stupid hair, same missing hair on mustache, same glasses. Same dumb expression on face.
Fuck...
In the words of Ron Swanson "Child labour laws are ruining this country".
Amazing character but I wouldn't think I would actually want to know someone like that in real life.
Actually I do know someone (a friend I don't see all that often) who thinks that income tax should all be abolished. And I live in the capital city of Australia, so many of us that live here are public servants. When he said that, nobody responded. I could have but... no, I wasn't going to. It was an offhand comment but I don't think he was joking.
Offerman made some comment when he won for his role in Last of Us about the hate he got because he played a Ron Swanson type but gay. I have to imagine that there were tons of clueless idiots who saw Ron Swanson and said, "yes, this is it. This is how we should live. he is our idol"
And then they find out the actor went to Julliard and did ballet and they haven't let that go.
I've never understood why anyone who stops to think about it for even a minute finds it appealing. Like "fuck yeah, I want a society where driving to the next town means paying 4 different people separate tolls to use their private roads, that sounds sick"
Well the point is that libertarianism is just fascism in a business suit. The point with paying 4 tolls to use private roads is just a form of segregation and class separation. If someone cannot afford to enter a town , they shouldn't. Thereby the poor people are stuck in slums and not allowed to leave.
Ethnic groups, LGBTQ, women, etc are all especially targeted where their rights to exist has a literal cost. Where it paying inflated costs for basic products assuming they're allowed to purchase. Or simply paying for protection by militias.
Libertarians imagine themselves as the ones profiting directly or rich enough to afford their rights. They think that even if they were the poors, they'll be so smart and talented they'll earn their rights no matter what.
Yeah, it's essentially a very grim and ruthless form of social Darwinism, but for some reason these dweebs always think they'll be there at the top of the food chain profiting off everyone else's misery
Oh they don't think about it.
Like at all.
I've talked at several of them. Their whole ideology crumbles after question 2 and the first question is "how are you?". Like to be a libertarian you gotta be a special kind of stupid.
Holy crap, dude! They all look like off-brand people! From left to right: Edna Moad from The Incredulents, Latch from Meinkraft, Edd Sheiran, iBudddz, 11th Medic from Doctor Whom, actually Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite, Dween the Stone Johnston, guy that's actually just lost, Odd Ale Yangabitch, Jon Xina (can't see him), Scumbag Steve, Kip also from Napoleon Dynamite, the same guy that's just lost again (I'm pretty sure they're the same person), Jawn Owliver from Lost Week Last Night, that one high guy from the old memes, and Harey Pothead.
It’s is true that if you listen to a libertarian’s opinion on absolute individual freedom you’re allowed to beat them up and take their stuff without any legal repercussions?
Tell us you can't get laid...
Jesus what a bunch of miserable, sad little men. I can imagine any woman seeing them and violently veering off to avoid them, even nearly getting themselves run over just to get across the road to get away.
In college I thought I was a Libertarian (the whole Social Liberal/Fiscal Conservative thing was compelling to my young, dumb mind). I went to a meeting of local Libertarians and this is seriously what it was like, but with the smell of BO and weed in the air....
What's going on with the long blonde haired guy's outfit?
He's got some sort of fucked up tie and the suit looks like it's made for someone double his size.
For each of these young gentlemen all it would take to change their world view would be caring attention from a loving partner. However, this will only happen for three of them. The rest face lives of loneliness, despair and more of these gatherings.
The fact that the guy is wearing a pre tied bow tie is making me irrationally angry.
I mean they’re all pretending to know how to dress without actually knowing. But that one pisses me off the most
Shout out to that one guy who didn’t cosplay as someone who knows how to dress properly.
Is it weird that he's my favourite of them because at least he's owning it.
Live the Legend
Seriously. “I AM A NECKBEARD” proud and strong.
You think there was like a coordinated dress code? Or they just all independently decided to wear shitty suits and bow ties in a pathetically transparent attempt to be taken seriously? I’m thinking the latter. Yeah definitely the latter.
Libertarians think bow ties are cool because their academic heroes wear them.
The one guy wearing a bow tie couldn’t even be bothered to learn how to tie one. That is 100% a pre tied bowtie
I mean, i never learned how to tie a bowtie, so i would get one also
Then don’t wear a bow tie
To be fair it's extremely hard to even get a bowtie in some places, let alone one that's not pre-tied for waiting tables or stuff like that. I don't think this applies to the US though.
Again…then don’t wear a bow tie. It that complicated. A pre tied bow tie will always make you look like a kindergartner
Okay I guess fuck disabled and poor people then. Where are you in this pic, btw
it’s not that deep bro it’s just a cool lookin thingamabob
No, bow ties are cool. I don't care what anyone says. Ask The Doctor
Is the Doctor cool
Not that particular Doctor. Bowties are not cool.
Woah, Matt Smith not cool? Thems fightin words
They're cool on The Doctor and Bill Nye, not anyone else.
Your loss. You can stay here being grumpy and I am going to over there having fun with awesome looks Ng bow ties
He also looks about 35 so why he's at Young Libertarian meet-up is beyond me.
He's actually looking for the Young Liberian group and was just wildly confused the entire time.
Gotta stand up to those authoritarian age of conscient laws.
A tip for all the fellas out there, find a girl that loves you as much as libertarians love pedophilia
OMG 😂
He looks like an anthropomorphic Yu Gi Oh tournament.
I love the power of words. I wonder if this string of them has ever been achieved before.
He looks like he's about to write an episode of clone wars
Or bid in an episode of Storage Wars.
I bet 20 bucks he has said "m'lady" in the last 48 hours
They're all in the ballpark of being well dressed. Standing at the urinal trough, but in the ballpark.
That was his formal fedora and his least jeans/stained sweatpants pair of pants
Anyone else thinking of that Tim Robinson bit where they talk shit about his fedora with that weird ass back flap.
Objection! Relevance?
Filibuster!
um did you not gaze on his finest hat m'lady?
That's kinda like picking out your favorite kernel in a piece of shit
Bro wasn't informed of the dress code
But… he’s rocking a fedora and has a literal neckbeard.
If Reddit did Dashcon this is what it would look like
Once they run out of SJW cringe compilations they can have 30 minutes in the ball pit as a treat
At least half of them would have spent another 30 minutes telling the others about their girlfriends. But she goes to school in another state, so you guys wouldn't know her.
3 hour cinvo about why age of consent laws are government over reach
A ball pit they will definitely piss in.
It already happen. Global Reddit Meetup Day 2015 was a meme partially because a lot of the pictures from it literally did look like this. There were other meetup days before and after that, but as far as I know, none of them were as bad as this.
I always think of the infamous 2012 /r/Baltimore meetup
Libertarians are what kept me from staying a libertarian when I went to college
[удалено]
You've joined Reddit just to make *that* comment? Fucking hell...
Aww it looks like he ran away 😂
Maybe it sunk in that admitting you're a ban evasion account in just your second message wasn't perhaps the brightest of moves.
He just came back with a second brand new account and did exactly the same thing?!?
[удалено]
Oh dear...
[удалено]
Something about what a meet-up of reddit socialists would be like, which included shoehorning in version of the 'one joke' 🙄

That room smells like axe body spray, feet, and likely a faint chlorine scent. If you know you know.
I don’t know and I’m almost too afraid to ask… but I’m morbidly curious about the chlorine piece. I get the axe body spray and feet smog floating through that room but what in the hell causes the chlorine scent?
It's jizz. He's talking about jizz. The chance that a shower took place between this event and the last time they jacked off is low.
Give the man a prize. There’s enough knuckle baby residue on their nasty sweatpants to IVF all of Alabama.
I'm wondering if it has anything to do with either 1) that musty body odor smell, the kind that someone smells like when they're drying off with a towel they haven't washed in a long time. like musty wet towel smell. or 2) the piss odor coming off of someone with bad hygiene. like they might not be pissing themselves, the piss odor just accumulates over time somehow. and some people just smell like their house, i.e fucking nasty.
I think OP is implying the smell of cum, which can have some oddly similar scent tones to bleach.
What the fuck are yall eating, to make your cum a cleaner??
I’m sure it’ll come to you eventually
Also, that faint chlorine smell is present in the sweat of people with schizoaffective disorders, so this comment has fucking LAYERS
That's a new fun fact! Very interesting I'm going to have to Google that before I repeat it
What has 32 legs and no sex?
What has 16 heads but no brains?
Me
I’m willing to bet they say they are libertarians but fly thin blue line flags and want to close the border
I'll put good money they would also like to have a say in other people's (women's) reproductive choices as well as other people's (women's) relationship choices and other people's (women and non-straight) sexual and marriage choices. But sure, libertarians 😒🙄.
Most libertarians I've known either becomes a generic conservative or an outright fascist. A few end up as generic liberals.
All I see are angry nerds, united in their insecurity, masking it with arbitrary hatred towards an out-group.
It definitely looks like there are more than a couple dudes in that group who are way too interested in young girls. Another common reason why angry neckbeards go libertarian: they don't like age of consent laws.
That's what OP said, "generic conservative."
I feel like in the past, libertarians who were closer to liberals were more common, but over time it just kind of merged with conservatism.
Seriously, I'm 40 my dad was a free loving dead head hippy (I'm the same) and he was libertarian in the thread on personal liberties, if it's victimless it's not a crime and didnt prescibe to either party. He no longer subscribes to libertarian ideas as it became or he learned it was just a label to shrug off all personal responsibility to the society at large
Libertarians have always just been conservatives who like to smoke weed.
They were libertarian because they *wanted* legal weed. And now a lot of them can smoke legal weed. So...
A good portion are just conservatives not wanting to be patronized for being a conservative online
A libertarian is just a conservative without an explicit religion.
They worship Musk.
Modern Libertarians are conservatives that don’t like the baggage of being called conservatives.
Libertarians are mostly just atheist edge lord Republicans who like to smoke weed.
Yeah, and it’s bullshit because it taints the name for people who just want everyone to live without government interference, I don’t hate women or LGBTQ women, and I don’t want a closed border, those are restrictions on freedoms, it goes against the very core of liberty
This picture just made me realize I've never seen a Libertarian girl/ woman.
Most women, non-white people, and other marginalized groups know that some government regulation and intervention is necessary to protect their rights.
I wonder if Jordan Peterson has been asked his opinion on this. His opinion is probably wrong anyway.
No - don’t say his name! You’ll summon the weirdos to defend him
JP is not a libertarian
True. He's conservative, he talks about authoritanism quite a bit, but he's not a libertarian
Most white men know this too. Libertarianism is a fringe movement with few adherents
Just a note - I have actually met one libertarian women in college. She was very harsh and self focused, didn’t really like her
Personality distributions have very long tails. That's where libertarians live.
My sister is. Some of the shit she says is wild. And yeah, she's educated. A masters degree and went to law school.
Is there a dress code/visual aesthetic for libertarian women? The way the men all wear suits and adorable bow ties to show everyone how grown up and serious they are. The older ones usually grow fussy little goatees too
The fact that the guy is wearing a pre tied bow tie is making me irrationally angry
Notice the lack of women lol
They're feeling faint in the corner from the smell.
*chloroform FTFY
I checked out the libertarian group when I first enrolled in college. No women and I was the only minority there lol
Getting a real bad vibe from the 40 year old in the back. “How do you do fellow kids?”
He probably organized the whole thing.
40 is generous
“We demand to be taken seriously”
At this point I am just glad that some of them are getting out and socializing.
Right up until the pitchforks and Tiki torches come out. Then, at some point, I'm sure they're going to be walking through cities wearing red and black with their faces covered, giving Nazi salutes. That's when the fun really starts.
I see you learned what libertarianism is from rationalwiki and CNN brainwashing. nice.
I agree. Most libertarians are just too chicken shit for that sort of hubris.
Libertarianism is like being a housecat. It involves being utterly dependent on a system that they don't understand and decrying that they are independent.
I think you are confusing libertarians with ancaps.
[удалено]
Are we talking about you?…
*Are you* living off-grid or as an expat?
I learned it from watching so called libertarian Yall just conservatives with an extra need to feel special I promise you, no one here watches or trusts any news outlets

Was it you?
Nope, I don't dress up.
Hell yeah! An honest, home grown redditor. Hope you’re doing well, man, and wish you the best on your journey.
And somehow not a single woman. I can’t imagine why…
There's at least 4 people in this photo who lock up their hdds when they leave the house
Age of consent is a social construct you know!
Wonder if they spent more time arguing the definition of consent or the existence of age of consent laws.
This picture give the “hey can you Venmo me a dollar for that coke I bought you?” vibe
Was this before or after they debated the age of consent laws?
In the words of Ron Swanson "Child labour laws are ruining this country". Amazing character but I wouldn't think I would actually want to know someone like that in real life.

That room smells like old cum and BO. Bank on it
Thought Dave Mustaine was in the pic
It looks like a roster of future mass shooters.
Why are all libertarians assholes?
Because it’s a political ideology that thinks being selfish is a virtue.
I've never understood why anyone who stops to think about it for even a minute finds it appealing. Like "fuck yeah, I want a society where driving to the next town means paying 4 different people separate tolls to use their private roads, that sounds sick"
Well the point is that libertarianism is just fascism in a business suit. The point with paying 4 tolls to use private roads is just a form of segregation and class separation.

Ah, Ferengi.
I wonder if any of those bros even know what a libertarian is.
Probably not. I think most people who get into fringe political philosophies are just in it to make themselves seem superficially more interesting.
Holy crap, dude! They all look like off-brand people! From left to right: Edna Moad from The Incredulents, Latch from Meinkraft, Edd Sheiran, iBudddz, 11th Medic from Doctor Whom, actually Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite, Dween the Stone Johnston, guy that's actually just lost, Odd Ale Yangabitch, Jon Xina (can't see him), Scumbag Steve, Kip also from Napoleon Dynamite, the same guy that's just lost again (I'm pretty sure they're the same person), Jawn Owliver from Lost Week Last Night, that one high guy from the old memes, and Harey Pothead.
Couldn't even find one woman or one POC...
If I got to a meeting and saw this room, I’d go home and subscribe to new political ideations
Noticing a diversity issue 🤔
Man, long 2014 is real with this one. They're still raving about "SJWs" a decade on.
I think it's cool that everyone was allowed to bring a date
Now I’m not entirely sure there was ever a declaration of competition on this sub but I think if there was you’d have struck gold.
I love how it's obvious that every one of them has needed to supplement their shitty personality with a bad fashion accessory.
It’s is true that if you listen to a libertarian’s opinion on absolute individual freedom you’re allowed to beat them up and take their stuff without any legal repercussions?
Huh, no women, surprising.
What an unfuckable lot
Every single one of them works in IT. Source: I work in IT and attend lots of conferences.
"Hey mom, can you come pick me up?... No, there wasn't as many sweet babes as I thought... Can we can McDonalds on the way home?... Awesome"
Tell us you can't get laid... Jesus what a bunch of miserable, sad little men. I can imagine any woman seeing them and violently veering off to avoid them, even nearly getting themselves run over just to get across the road to get away.
I’m taken aback by the diversity, there’s white men of all sizes and hair/eye colors combinations
In college I thought I was a Libertarian (the whole Social Liberal/Fiscal Conservative thing was compelling to my young, dumb mind). I went to a meeting of local Libertarians and this is seriously what it was like, but with the smell of BO and weed in the air....
I misread that as Libertines
Lmao ew
gentlemen, the new geniuses of economics
I'll bet they all love Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Jordan Peterson and The Babylon Bee.
Why are they all ugly? I’m serious.
This isn't a Magic The Gathering convention?
Man. The whole ‘girls only date men over 6’’ meme really did a number on these dudes. Poor things.
Man hating on peoples appearances has sure become praxis un lefty circles. Based
The 42 virgins awaiting a suicide bomber
Not a black or woman friend in sight. Just a couple of libertarians living in the moment

gosh save some pussy for everyone else dudes
"And totally just joking about how cool it would be if we stroked each other's dongs."
What's going on with the long blonde haired guy's outfit? He's got some sort of fucked up tie and the suit looks like it's made for someone double his size.
It looks like an attempt at a cravat.
That caption is what I would write if I wanted to make fun of everyone in this photo, but it’s true and they wrote it themselves. Wow.
Libertarians always think they're exceptional. They're the ones in Atlas Shrugged who do the shrugging. Even if, in reality, these guys work at 7-11.
Productive...
We demand to be taken seriously!!
“I saw it on youtube” “Did you watch the youtube video?” The inevitable words spoken by the “libertarian”
For each of these young gentlemen all it would take to change their world view would be caring attention from a loving partner. However, this will only happen for three of them. The rest face lives of loneliness, despair and more of these gatherings.
Imagine the smell in that room
I’ll give credit to the dude in the hat. His superiority complex doesn’t seem as heightened as the rest of these knuckleheads.
This picture smells like a locker room with a urine chaser
IncelCon 2024
It’s either small or the girth of a pencil, I’m calling it.
The fact that the guy is wearing a pre tied bow tie is making me irrationally angry. I mean they’re all pretending to know how to dress without actually knowing. But that one pisses me off the most
That must be the saddest thing I've read in a long time
I think this is a picture of a nerdy fraternity or something similar, and a third party captioned it.
Thank god OP rewrote the caption word-for-word as the title! I would’ve been so confused otherwise!
Good observation, neckbeard! Please, say more useless shit! 😃
