1·1 day agoLibertarianism =/= “I can be racist and take others land in order to avoid having to follow the laws, social and governmental, of the rest of society”.
Let’s stop here. I agree.
You mean in the “Okay. I’ll play along…” comment?
So you want to say that a discussion about libertarianism is mood because there is no such country right now and thus will never be, because not everybody will agree to libertarianism?
Good argument. I guess that’s why Musk is dreaming of mars.

It’s not. The story about mars allowed Musk to build the rockets to launch the StarLink satellites.
Given the preparation for war with China, can we exclude that those satellites carry payloads to take down intercontinental missiles?
Otherwise the USA could feel safe and be willing to engage in a nuclear war.
It will be a boring name.
Do I have to tell you that there is none?
He’s not gonna make it to Mars.
He never intended to go to Mars. Remember the real reason for the moon mission and shudder.
They are green, it’s them who are the Greenlanders. There is no pretending.
I am not talking about Israel because it is obviously not a libertarian country.
In a libertarian country, people can move to different cities. Since it’s libertarian, those who profit from the move have to pay for it. People will only move if they are paid enough.
No, but they could have cut their losses by selling when Musk’s character became clear.
I said moving, not being moved or forced. Is there something wrong with moving if it is not forced?
Not at all. If Israel were a libertarian country with a non-aggression principle then they wouldn’t do it.
My understanding is that the freedom of each person has to be protected or everthing falls back to tribalism where everybody has to seek membership in a group to be protected.
No. That’s why this is important:
It should worry people that they don’t have the time nor tools to be informed
Because it seems like in your scenario their choices are leave or live with racist assholes.
If it is not a matter of principles, what is so bad about moving as long as you are supported? When done right, things should be better than living with assholes.
Have you not even heard of Israel?
Good point. There is just no need to support that.
Many libertarians believe that the concept of freedom is in accord with the Non-Aggression Principle, according to which each individual has the right to live as they choose, as long as they do not violate the rights of others by initiating force or fraud against them.
Being unaware doesn’t protect from consequences. Even morally, in a democracy, it’s up to the people to be informed. Buying decisions drive policy. It should worry people that they don’t have the time nor tools to be informed. This alone should start a general strike.
With all the things that are looming, imagine the price you are going to pay because you were not online enough.
What if the government is like Reddit? We move to lemmy to get away from their influence and to have our own values.
Why does this not make sense when it comes to politics? Communities are captured by network effects. It’s an uphill battle to make things right if the idiots have to be dragged along.
Even when it comes to racism, let people be racist somewhere. Let them live their miserable life while there is no need to waste resources on making them treat all humans with respect. However, unlike the North after the war, help those who are stuck with them, to get away.
It’s more the Japanese way, wear a mask to protect others.
Why was there a space race?
