It's full of people intelligent enough to understand how incentives and consequences work, and mature enough to be able to accept that some possibly immoral people might benefit for the greater good.

How do you get from small/no government libertarianism to “right-wing”?

I know libertarians think they are very clever and aren't on anybody's side, but enlightened selfishness is still the enemy of progress.

That philosophy is pretty darn right-wing on economic and social issues. You can't just slap "personal freedom" on top of that and claim it comes out smelling like a rose.

> enlightened selfishness is still the enemy of progress

Baloney.

Yes! Especially the Hacker News Silicon Valley types. HN is becoming so predictable these days.
