Hate anti-vax views, but I do like seeing a celebrity have such a nonchalant response to Twitter controversies. So many have thin skin and freak out about being ‘cancelled’. 

I find that generally people who like to call themselves libertarian are just republicans who like marijuana.

Why is it that every dickish personality out there right now seems to try and brush it aside with “i’m a libertarian”?
