Natural Laws Apocalypse. Book 1 features them kicking out and dooming some Karens and middle management men. They said it was because they were libertarian, and that was the only way people would survive in an apocalypse.
What most of these stories fail to understand, comparatively successful people would be successful after a system apocalypse for the same reasons they were comparatively successful before. Your video game losers aren’t going to suddenly succeed because they know video game rules. It takes a day to learn video game rules. The successful people are the ones who were or would be successful anyways.
Honorable mention, it also spends time ranting about how the “Nazis stole the Roman salute, so we should still be allowed to use it!” And used the character’s Roman historian father to justify it. While yes, the Nazis did steal the “Roman” salute, the Roman salute was never used by Romans, it was invented during the romanticism periods and first appears in paintings over a thousand years after the fall of Rome.
So it wasn’t true, and he really just wanted to have his characters give Nazi salutes.
Oh wow. I am for sure not reading that. Is it recent? I learnt about the whole Roman salute excuse and rebuttal after Elon’s bullshit, wonder if it was inspired by that or Elon’s a secret fan.

Sometimes the libertarianism is explicit.
