Libertarianism Makes Friends Go Away

Text on the meme

You got any friends, kid? Yeah, why? What if I told you I can make all of that... ...go away Libertarianism

What it means

A mustached man in a top hat sits beside a child-like cartoon figure and offers to make all of his friends disappear. The punchline is the label “Libertarianism,” joking that extreme individualism or libertarian policies eliminate social connections and communal support. It is used as an ironic reaction to libertarian ideas or an offer that comes with an unsettling consequence.
