Just had to highlight this comment.

Also, if one is a consistent market-worshipping libertarian whoโ€™s for open borders, no state intervention, no welfare, no unions, the hand of the market will sort it all out, then ok. I donโ€™t like it, I think itโ€™s childish, and frankly, crazy. But itโ€™s a worldview. Itโ€™s consistent.

But folks who go โ€œIโ€™m for open borders and healthcare for allโ€ scare me because they sound delusional. Itโ€™s not a worldview, itโ€™s a wishlist for Santa.

Yep. Those beliefs make no sense together at all. They are like when youโ€™re 10 years old and reclining on the grass with a friend, daydreaming about how one day youโ€™re going to save the planet from evil with lasers and rockets โ€” it is just as much a fantasy.
