I’ve met ONE person that may be described as a type of AnCap who wasn’t either, but he was also pretty open about the idea of lynching the owner class if they got too stupid. Also he wanted to prevent corporations from existing at the barrel of a gun, frankly speaking he was closer to a particularly crazed Anarcho Syndicalist than anything else.
Philosophically yes, sanity wise fuck no. Last I heard he was trying to build a 1-1 replica of the Bob Semple tank somewhere in Nevada, but that was about 5 years ago now.
The only person I knew who really ate the Ayn Rand onion has fully gone off the rails. Last I spoke with him, he said the nurses kicked him out of the hospital where his wife was giving birth and was threatened with arrest if he returned. Also he voted for Trump. I’m still not sure how he reconciled that thought process.
Yeah the guy I knew wasn’t an Ayn Rand weirdo, his dad apparently was but was stupid and basically created the only thing even close to a functional AnCap I’ve ever heard of. Once ya mix in Rands bullshit there is usually a notable degree of crazy and stupidity. They also tend to be weirdly aggressive.
All the Silicon Valley techbro ancaps are just openly fascist now.
That’s the fun part: they were never ancaps at all! Even that incorrect conclusion would have required reading and curiosity.
I’ll go farther - ancaps don’t exist. Actually existing ancap-ism is always either neoliberalism or fascism.

He sounds reasonable to me.
