The federal government did do that
I mean, keep dry towns.
and libertarians would oppose it because it literally infringes on public freedoms
individual freedoms
It dosen't
I don't care about your freedoms I care about the well-being of my people
It's purely voluntary association. Have you read what Hoppe wrote on on contractual convents?
no, a dry town is not a voluntary association
Why is the federal government distinct from the municipal in this regard
it is a government which passed a law
They did exactly the same thing and represent the population in exactly the same sense
it has nothing to do with voluntarism
the law is enforceable by state power
@vicmaxim If by "means in itself" you are referring to ideological positions as purely instinctual, I would say you are half correct. People that tend to drift around servers like this and discuss politics, philosophy, etc. significantly more deeply than the average person are more likely to be convinced one way or another if the underlying principles of their ideology are challenged enough.
@Fénius Farsaid look dont serve the ideology
that's all im saying
@Leaf A small town or community can be entirely made up of voluntary participants. A federal government by necessity must disallow any secession.
Ima sleep now
Problem?
Man will continue to serve his ideas. We always have and we always will.
specifically the white man
nature's miracle
the white race
There are few individuals who are capable of serving their own interests above their own conceived ideas of the world. The rest are followers.
@Weaboo Kempeitai its not voluntary
the laws are enforceable by state power
It can be
Is the point.
its not
Even among the white race
It can be
whether it can be is irrelevant
we're talking about the real world
@Fénius Farsaid they follow the leader not the idea
dry towns are not voluntary arrangements
as a libertarian
you oppose them
They follow the idea of their leader. Their idealistic conception of them.
The absolutely are.
I'm talking towns of tens of thousands not a few hundred
