  • I wish this were true, but what you are describing is more akin to the Democratic party’s platform. Laws by the Democratic party are passed so people and companies don’t violate the principle of non-aggression. For example, besides climate change, regulation on banking is to prevent banking from taking people’s money and just going out of business.

    The Libertarian party doesn’t support the principle of non-aggression in practice. By this definition, the Democratic party would be the true libertarians or liberals.

    For example:

    Australia: https://www.libertarians.org.au/wa_platform

    Ending Climate Alarmism Policies: Repeal state laws and subsidies tied to net-zero targets. Let the free market decide the energy mix.

    And like you said, the US one too: https://lp.org/environment-energy-resources/

    When governments try to tackle environmental issues (which is hypocritical, as governments are the largest polluters), they use a punishing approach that rarely, if ever, solves the problem





  • Invitation-only Mastodon instances prevent spammers by controlling who can join and maintaining a trust-based network. Since every new user must be invited by an existing member, admins can track invitation chains. If someone turns out to be a bad actor, admins can ban them and also ban anyone they invited. This is like pruning the whole spam network. This discourages spammers because their accounts can be removed along with their entire invitation tree.
