Does it happen.... all the time?
yes yes it does.
You need to grow up and accept that other people aren't out there to protect you like Mommy and Daddy.
The world does not exist to hold your hand.
Never had been.
Your life, your responsibility, your choices.
That is the essence of freedom and it's beautiful.
It's too bad you would sacrifice freedom for safety.

- nickthemagicman 5y agoThanks for the kind words! A bunker would be great for a person to quarantine themselves off from covid too! Don't leave quarantine ever! Stay home, stay safe, and keep granny safe!
- nomdep 5y agoYou clearly had lived a pampered (and single) life if you think just granny is at risk.
- nickthemagicman 5y agois your definition of pampered: 'looks at statistics'?
- otherme123 5y agoEven the most extreme views of libertarianism have the principle of "do not harm others" as the limit for one's freedoms. In fact, other political philosophies have a softer view on this principle, like utilitarianism (maximize wellness even if it goes against a minory). Rothbard, and I doubt you can find anyone much more libertarian than him, wrote that if you knowingly cause suffering or death of another human being, you must be punished "an eye for an eye". In this case, if you spread covid and somebody dies or gets injured because of it, you should fully restitute the victim, even being executed if the heirs decide so. From a philosophical point of view, freedom or libertarianism doesn't help you here. I would like to read any libertarian serious author that supports your views.
- nickthemagicman 5y ago> knowingly cause suffering or death of another human being >if you spread covid No one knows how Covid spreads or who it will kill. Your argument is weak from the very start. But assuming we know exactly that if someone doesn't wear a mask they will kill some person who is vulnerable. Whose responsibility is that? The vulnerable person for leaving the house or the entire public for not accommodating that person? No matter how much mental gymnastics you'd like to do...I'd argue most libertarian thinkers would take the 'individualist' stance vs the 'collectivist' stance. As that's the basis of the entire libertarian philosophy.
