Valve has deep libertarian roots unfortunately

I knew I smelled something.

Well hell, I hope Gabe eventually meets enough libertarians to become disgusted with himself. Penn Gillette recently did, so there's always hope.

Penn was an actual libertarian, not an american-style one. when listening to the things he actually believes, rather than the label he used to ascribe to those beliefs, that is very clear. the reason he turned away from the label itself was that he realized he wanted nothing to do with the people using the label because he didn't share their beliefs.

it's probably better if gabe never meets a single one of those guys.
