People with common sense usually don't think much of libertarianism because of how pathetically worthless it is as an actual usable philosophy.
Look at the news sites that make it to the front page of hacker news. As of writing there's:
- New York Times
- PBS
- The Guardian
Do you expect the people that upvote these things to be sympathetic to libertarianism?
