nor Public Displays of Affection. lol 
You know you’re an Austrian when…
You’re sitting in a high school economics class and you get utterly frustrated when the teacher and everyone in the class is convinced that in a Market Economy, working conditions and product quality would plummet to levels seen in The Jungle by Upton Sinclair.
Happens to me every day.
Or, you know you’re an Austrian when…
You see kids wearing Obama-hope shirts and you cringe in disgust.
When kids talk about learning the ABC’s and you think they are a little young to understand Austrian Business Cycle .
You reprimand someone every time he or she uses pluralis gloriosus or pluralis imperialis.
You understand that intellectual property is not free enterprise.
When you search the term Hayek on the internet and are aghast to find pictures of an attractive, female celebrity
Always happens hahaha
when you don’t understand what “wasting your time” means since values are subjective.
when your girlfriend says that you treat her like property and you think “private or public?”.
(I got the last one from someone else)
When you forget to enjoy life because everywhere around you the state and its mindless supporters are prospering [:'(]
The most important thing I learned from the Ron Paul campaign, was Paul’s motto that doing what we do, agitating/demonstrating/organizing for liberty, should be fun, and we should have fun doing it.
If you’re not having fun (and we’ve all been there) take a break.
When you get excited after seeing Jeffrey Tucker post in your thread.
– That’s why I was away for a while, it gets so you hate everyone and everything.
When, during the presidential campaigns, you knew Obama’s economic policies and their consequences better than Obama’s supporters.
You roll your eyes every time you see someone talk about inflation as an increase in prices.
You can spot a Broken Window Fallacy without even breaking a mental sweat.
Whenever some human want isn’t being met, the first question that comes to your mind is, “What’s government doing to block the market from providing that?”
You take inordinate amounts of delight in wearing your Rothbard “Enemy of the State” t-shirt in front of statist friends.
You use terms like “time preference” and “misallocation of resources” in everyday discourse, in hopes of steering the conversation to economics.
When I teared up a bit after reading a Schumpeter quote in Chomsky’s Imperial Ambitions book recently.
Haha, I liked this one. I have a shirt that says “Capitalists Do It Ruthlessly,” so I know what that’s like.
You know you’re an Austrian when… you want to know what the quote was.
When you see your neighborhoods shitty public roads, and you KNOW the free market could do a better job.
When you are constantly having to defend “evil, greedy, selfish people”.
When you sound immoral to everyone else, when in reality, you are the most moral person there. (Even if you don’t believe in morality)
When you point out the evils of government 24/7 365 at every chance you get.
When you truly appreciate the beauty and mystique of the free market and voluntary exchange.
When you realize most people who claim to be poor, are not poor at all. (They have tv’s, cell phone, microwave, stove, refrigerator, computer, a car, etc.)
When you consider reading and buying books, an investment.
You know you are an Austrian when..
-
You can’t imagine not using Human Action in a school paper.
-
You can’t participate in a mock United Nations without detailing how the resolution, regardless of its specific content, will have unintended consequences and most likely cartelize x industry.
-When you ask a Twilight fan:
Q: If Jacob were an economist, would he be a Chicagoite, a Keynesian, or a Scholastic? Same question for Edward.
A: Cesar -_- Jacob a Keynesian and Edward a Chicagoite.
And tear up a bit that they didn’t question you about including Scholastic in the list. Also, when you begin to consider supporting Edward as the lesser evil.
When your idea of an argument is quoting Mises, Hoppe, and Rothbard so extensively that eventually you just start handing out books.
When you immediately rush to blame any economic crisis on monetary mismanagement despite having no actual knowledge of the situation. Quote Mises.
When you make arrogant claims about the foolishness of this or that economic school of thought or methodology despite not really understanding it, though you quote Rothbard on the subject so that’s OK.
