Especially in the economics area
I wouldn't call myself a minarchist
I'd say I'm far from it
Lol you'd be supprised
well, because I think some things should be regulated. I think the environment needs to be protected, and I'd be willing to sacrifice economic growth for that
I've also seen how big tech uses its power to push corporate censorship
and I would take measures to oppose that, because I believe businesses can take away someone's freedom.
For example
Places like twitter should be a public forum.
(which, it sort of was recently ruled to be one by a judge)
And when I say "public forum," I mean you should be able to discuss anything as long as you are not advocating for violence or anything that would take away infringe on person's rights
I'd refrain from the second half of that
Because they can advocate for it, which is where you counter it.
Why not? Corporate censorship is a huge problem
Oh
Not the violence part.
You sound like a minarchist still
The violence can get fucked.
If anybody calls for violence, they can fuck off.
But to advocate for something that restricts rights is perfectly alright, as long as you counter their arguments with your own.
@Josh42A But wouldn't a minarchist believe in the free market? I would enforce such policies through the government
A minarchist could never support environmental regulations.
@εïз irma εïз And I strongly support environmental regulations.
Same
This is why the minarchist server I moderate hates me
Nature is a part of national history and culture, and therefore, it needs to be protected

Minarchism is pretty specific, unlike libertarianism. Minarchists specifically want as little government as possible.
Even if that comes at the cost of economic benefit
As little as possible.
Which to each person is a differing degree.
That and animals affect environmental factors we don't know what kinds of negotitive effects eliminating certain species would have
Yellowstone and wolves for example.
For me it's mostly the cultural aspect of it, though that matters, too
Yep
Eliminated the wolves, deer fucked places up.
This sounds like we all watch too much Joe Rogan
I don't watch him all that much.
Another reason why I don't agree with minarchism, is because *I do* support market regulation, but I'm not sure how much. Having too little would result in rampant consumerism where businesses have too much control, and too much would not only stifle innovation while moving business overseas, but it would also make your citizens too "soft."
He uses the yellow Stone wolves almost every other podcast
I agree
Still, it's a good example.
Remove one species and watch the rest fall down.
UK has a similar problem with deer, no natural predators.
