I fear people have not been willing to follow the logic of our nihilist wingnuts back to its premises. Neoliberal/ Movement Conservative "smaller government fewer taxes" slogans that never specify what good government would actually consist of amount to stealth advocacy of the same batshit crazy anarcho-capitalist that the extreme right libertopians advocate openly -- gun-nuttery is the ruggedization of the hyper-individualized cyborg-subject protagonist in these Randroidal/ Friedmanian nightmare-fantasies.
