  I mean, that's basic libertarian epiphany in a nutshell. Maximizing freedom for myself in a society where there are other people requires limiting everyone's freedoms in some ways.

    Yep some philosophers described it as “freedom to” and “freedom from”. Without freedom from others doing some things that effect you, you might be dead or otherwise severely restricted

        It's a basic feature of the growth-at-all-costs financier mindset. A complete and total misunderstanding of closed vs open systems, zero sum games, and "innovation".

    Libertarianism is just about putting off when you admit you messed up.
