That sense of collective justice only applies to the in-group, within family or tribal units. Your tribe might fight another tribe to the death over some territory, or for some grapes.
Also, collective justice isn't exactly something you want to appeal to in general. The mob might lynch you for being too annoying, for instance.
- tomlock 10y agoI'm not "appealing" to it, I'm making the point that nature isn't particularly aligned with Libertarian ideals. I wouldn't consider family or tribal preferences to be particularly cogent with the philosophy of Libertarianism, for instance.
- Danihan 10y agoWhat would you call someone who wants unlimited freedom for people within their in-group, but authoritarianism for anyone outside of their in-group? Libertarian? Authoritarian? Colonialist? A lot of Trump supporters are that way. They want endless liberty and greatness for American, but if you aren't American you can fuck right off -- you're lucky we don't just come take your country over.
- tomlock 10y agoI wouldn't consider most Trump supporters to be particularly Libertarian either.
