What prompted the switch on this forum from the posters being mostly unabashed libertarians to being mostly socialist? I'm aware that it's a thing that happened but I never knew why or what the instigating events were.

Here's something I don't understand: if you're a public figure espousing libertarianism yet you're taking public money for whatever reason (maybe grants for your business or tax money for your district), how is that not ridiculously hypocritical? If taxes are theft full stop then isn't benefiting from that theft just as bad? I guess I just think that if your morals fly out the window at the slightest inconvenience you're probably a piece of poo poo. Does this bother anyone else?
