Society is a mirage? It clearly isn't as you are living in one and benefitting from it. You may not want it to exist but clearly societies do exist. It's obvious that libertarianism doesn't work at scale. Especially in a world with so mmany people. Societies can be a failure too but there are plenty of examples of success. There no examples of libertarian success at scale. Once density reaches a critical mass libertarianism fails.
Clearly you don't care or haven't thought about society's role in moderating exploitation and inequality in power.
- dang 9y ago> Clearly you don't care or haven't thought That's unduly personal. Users here aren't allowed to address each other that way, first because it's uncivil, and second because arguments get stronger when such bits are edited out.

- yequalsx 9y agoI don't think it was personal. I don't have a history of making personal attacks. It's clear that society in the form of government has a role in moderating exploitation. Someone who doesn't believe society should exist either doesn't care about moderating exploitation or hasn't thought about it. Do you know jstanley personally? Given sonne other comments that I've seen that have not been flagged I begin to suspect that perhaps some bias is at play with regard to your decision. I'm not suggesting that my comment should be restored. Overall it doesn't matter.
