People from the individualist perspective almost always argue for its overall social utility, that the benefits of invididual rights and freedoms have negative and positive social effects that net positive. I've never heard one (and I've heard many) argue that the net social effects are negative but that the policy is still preferrable.
- prottog 4y agoI suppose nobody would argue that, but in practice it happens all the time, because the people who benefit from the policy aren't directly paying for the costs of those negative net social effects.
