More that I didn't have a primed cache for "idiotic things people might say in support of libertarianism" that would be on the order of stupidity of "we aren't causing shitloads of global warming" or "there are WMDs (at the appropriate time)". Just a primed cache for "somewhat naive and oversimplistic things people might say in support of libertarinism". The more mainstream stupidities I am already desensitized to.
(Note that this train of thought is all along the lines of a "What is the nature of my confusion?" inquiry.)
Curious, one of the top entries in my primed cache of "idiotic things people might say in support of libertarianism" is "we aren't causing shitloads of global warming". It's the one of the most popular topics among libertarian columnists, beating out smoking, PC at the BBC, Europe and Laurie Penny. True, American Libertarians generally seem to be more contrarian than the sort we get in the UK, but I seem to remember both Bryan Caplan and Will Wilkinson making similar observations about the other side of the pond.
