what is proper is to completely overwhelm the enemy to the effect that the war is ended as quickly as possible

Anyways.

That problem has been pervading my mind the last week.

Whether or not it is okay for the government to take a little bit of liberty for the sake of protecting liberty.

i think we should spend every dollar we can on defense

What people hate about libertarianism is it means they don't get to play their part in being God.

and helicopters

being the best can barely win a war, being the best by a huge margin will end it quicker

Being the best by a huge margin prevents the war in the first place.

exactly

send 1 billion men and not a single man on either side will die

Regardless.

Do you see the problem I have?

yes

just as the old latin adage goes, "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum"

if you want peace, prepare for war

thats why libertarianism and ancapism doest work

well...

maybe I paint libertarianism with a much larger brush then I should, but I consider any idealogy that supports or is the basis of the US constitution to be libertarianism

I mean, I cannot really ditch Libertarianism though.

It seems to me like the only solid philosophy that can be secular.

well there are other philosophies that are secular, but they are communism and fascism lol

even those in the enlightenment period believed in a god, they were just deists <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

Nationalism is secular yes?

^Can be

Nationalism breaks down though when you get into the details.

What is "benefiting the nation"?

I dont think you can fully implement libertarian ideals while still having a country normies will tolerate living in

^True

another thought

I dont think you have libertarian ideals with a bunch of millenial bug people that think something like the government is the tool to solve everything

most stupid rules probly were made because theres always some idiot who doesnt know without being told

theres always going to be a reason you need police, or some stupid regulation that prevents people from making millions of dollars off buildings that crumble and kill everyone inside

theres always a guy willing to be a bastard

Well, I mean

theres always a guy who will sell you a hotdog off a warm cart full of worm eggs

I think your property killing someone should constitute manslaughter.

Unless a waiver is signed before entering the building.

Or a notice is posted about possible building collapse.

to be honest, I wish some people that is really stupid or inept enough to get themselves killed, should be allowed to get themselves killed or they should be a Ward of the State
