A libertardian Poe

flamingchords found this defense of Ebenezer Scrooge at Mises.org.

Believe it or not, it is not satire. Mises.org is a libertarian website named for Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises. However, it is a perfect illustration of Poe's Law.

The user-added tags at the bottom of the article comprise a thing of beauty.

I've been using the concept when discussing "OMGSo-shul-izm" with my benighted American neighbours.

"You hate socialism? You don't want government interfering in your life? Why, I know the perfect place for you! It's even got lovely warm weather on a seacoast, just like here in Kalifornia!"

They usually shut up right quick after that. I then try to explain the concept of "balance between free enterprise and government involvement" to them, with varying degrees of success.
