The future will be sparsely distributed. The wealthy elite are modifying society such that only they will have the gilded science fiction future, and everyone else will be left to their own, probably ruled by Libertarian Warlords.


How could a libertarian be a war lord? As far as I can imagine, war lords are authoritarian, which is complete opposite from libertarian.


They'll find justification somehow. Like needing a security force to respond to various "concerns", or the "increasingly unstable situation" (at that point in time).

The whole philosophical core of libertarianism is to seek for a minimal set of rules and systems that doesn't evolve into warlordism or any other corrupt power structure. The idea is to maximize individual liberty and keep it that way.
