For all the tininess of its political percentage among the general population, libertarian Twitter is incredibly widespread and diverse in personality, background, age, temperament, talent, and principal.
My sense is that if we can get beyond the individualistic "herding cats" tendency amongst most libertarians, and truly organized for shared goals, our political capital would be far more dominant than it currently is, perhaps enough to educate the populace into mainstream acceptance of Austrian economics, instill universal negative rights ethics, and even possibly be free in our lifetime.
The above would require an organizing effort unlike what English speaking libertarians have experienced in generations, and it would take a study and acceptance of organizing not commonly found among modern libertarians, especially from its movement leaders. Doing so would also require an extreme increase in empathy (less autism), greater acceptance of voluntary collective action, and a championing of the common or working man and labor markets in the context of what libertarianism brings to the general public, beyond the hero worship of the entrepreneur, if we are to truly capture the hearts and minds of the people.
The world is in many ways entering a crossroads, an inflection point, and we have the numbers and the answers, to lead the next evolutional age of advancement for civilization, rather than destruction and collapse, or greater totalitarianism, so often regressed into in the past; if we only but remember the ancient and modern lesson:
"United we stand, divided we fall" — Aesop
''We must all hang together, or we shall all hang separately.'' — Benjamin Franklin at the signing of the Declaration of Independence
“If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.” — Mark 3:25
“Untied we bargain, divided we beg” — Trade Union Slogan
