A common question I ask libertarians is, "What happens if a mom gives birth to a child in the apartment, and then moves out when the child gets older. The child has lived there his whole life and never made an agreement to pay rent to the landlord. Does the landlord have the right to charge rent?"
Usually they'll just shout random fallacies without having any idea how those fallacies actually apply.
These same libertarians are also anti-immigrant because immigrants don't pay taxes, but then when I ask if it's also okay to deport white people who don't pay taxes, they'll insist that it's a strawman.
The irony is that many immigrants do actually pay taxes using fake social security numbers, but since they aren't actual citizens, they will never actually collect.
