> I'm not a libertarian exactly, but it always boggles my mind how the philosophy that at least tries to remain consistent with the ideal of not aggressing on the life, liberty, or property of others receives some of the most derisive comments. Because every time you need to apply such a reductive philosophy to reality, it falls apart. This would be fine if they adopted it as a purely personal lifestyle but they try to push it as a feasible form of government. They do this by mostly ignoring the real world complexity and real historical issues when aspects of their philosophy were actually applied. Examples? I’ve seen arguments police should be entirely privately funded, insider trading should be legal.
