also true ^

Why is everyone here a libertarian

Its more nuanced than "treat them the same", you don't end up with that huge of a suicide rate simply from social rejection

because i love me the economy <:lick:635955655626457091>

Ok

I was a libertarian before

I think it's a bit goobery now

yeah, are you quite authoritarian now?

a lot of people on this server are

I guess it really depends on what you think authoritarian is

GG @Suplexing For The White Race, you just advanced to level 2!

Because I believe in the supremacy of the self, and a more liberal (within reason) society generally leads towards the highest level of competence percolating to the top of any given system

oh, a fellow individualist?

If we live in a libertarian society we cannot actually standardize things

perhaps, but i value the freedom of it a lot

Standardization simply means conforming to the lowest common denominator in many cases socially

We also cannot guarantee a specific quality of life also

I mean look at the american education system as an example of that

@Soup Can Sam you don't understand

A common argument is roads for.ancaps, but for.libertarians how do you manage for example the transport industry

Planes boats and other transports

Or manage the building codes of dams Bridges and tunnels

im not an anarchist lib

Please don't conflate me with an ancap, I believe in a central government that has legitimate control of certain systems

Who decides what ought to be put in place, who controls what is accepted as code?

I know

more like, government intervention is necessary but should be kept to a minimum

like in instances where someone's rights are being infringed upon

What I stated was ancaps can get talked to about roads, but for yours it's more.about overall standardization

ahhh

my mistake

I don't quite understand the argument here, there are still standards for quality, the standardization comes from genuine competition kept honest by regulation

As a libertarian you likely don't want publically funded firefighters as that is a market to be met and even if you do, the houses each individual built can be so unique from the other that fire hydrants may not be available within reasonable distance

Consumer protection is very important for actual competition to drive innovation and improvement

oh, no i do <:dogekek:618610136830967849>

@Soup Can Sam depends on what type of competitiveness you want

but im from a quite left wing country so im considered to be more libertarian here than other places

No, I understand the necessity of publicly funded institutions that markets can't improve or support

I personally like new technologies and not consumer goods that make things slightly easier

New tech doesn't always have a market

Right and innovation is driven best by competition
