    Like Jesus (who I don’t care for because he preached wealth redistribution)

    Don’t know what Jesus he’s talking about, the only Jesus I know is Supply-Side Jesus who preaches that greed is good and mega-church ministers need private jets

    how am I supposed to suspend my disbelief that a libertarian wrote this if it doesn’t even mention age of consent laws

        american libertarians are notoriously obsessed with age of consent.

          Weird, that’s one of the things usually not debated elsewhere. Libertarians only laws are centered on not harming others

    Maybe submit posts from that site to some other community, or a dedicated one.

    The unintelligent “humor” style of the writing reminded me of what Mark Twain wrote in “How to Tell a Story”. Mind you, it is “Shit Americans Say” material in its own right. But referencing it here seems befitting. As one can learn a thing or two from it, especially those who want to piggyback on The Onion’s name. In modern and post-modern context, learning about metairony and post-irony would probably be even more helpful, but maybe that would be too hard.
