I think what he's trying to say that it's far less likely for a libertarian "legalize drugs" type of person to screw a bunch of people over.
Like, when you facilitate selling drugs, there is no victim. Hell, you probably prevented having a victim. When you facilitate selling weapons/assassinations/child porn, there is a victim. The latter type of person would be more likely to victimize his/her customers than the former.

- pikachu_is_cool 13y agoThis does not invalidate my point. Even though it may not be true, many people think that running a drug dealing website is for the betterment of society. It's less likely for the owners to rip its customers off and be the "bad guy".
- waterlesscloud 13y agoYou'd be wrong. Plenty of people on the left say the same thing.
- Nursie 13y agoHell no! I'm far from libertarian but the drug laws are a travesty and selling restricted substances is pretty much the definition of a victimless 'crime'. The myth of the first-hit-is-free, sell-at-the-school-gates 'pusher' is mostly just that, a myth. If you buy drugs you are not a victim. You may have problems and I believe that we should make government assistance available for those that do. However right now the state and its laws criminalise whole swathes of society for no good reason - there is no victim.
- munificent 13y ago> it's far less likely for a libertarian "legalize drugs" type of person to screw a bunch of people over. Why? Does being libertarian somehow grant a +3 to morality?
