Everyone’s a libertarian with respect to their own liberties. It’s only the liberties of others that are up for debate. So when I see “libertarian tech bros”, I laugh, because it’s clear that it is only envy speaking. Enlisting the arm of the state to protect your liberties is always “just” - when someone else’s liberties are protected, it is “unjust”. Bearing the consequences of one’s own actions is now widely considered as fundamentally unacceptable - the consequences must be borne by society: ideally, by your political adversaries, to be most “just”. This is unlikely to end well.
