You’re going to call protestors “agitators” while the broligarchs keep coming up with the most outrageous, evil bullshit they could think of, just for the hell of it.

    Governance is actually important. Whoda thunk?

    Some day you’ll read Tao Te Ching and maybe stop thinking in absolutes.

    Where I live libertarians are the most adequate part of the social fabric suppressed by that governance. Trots are the second.

    In any case, you can have a thought experiment of the same town the same size with a group of people assuming governance and telling others what to do. They can collect taxes and tell they are using them as well as they can. The bear problem will probably be smaller, albeit sometimes someone complaining will accidentally meet a bear, the drowning in trash one - I dunno, probably the trash will move to the places furthest from where that group lives, but won’t be really disposed of, because - why? No incentive.

    I’ve become a libertarian after watching one enthusiastic teacher organize some sort of discussion clubs. Everyone in favor of more governance eventually shifted to authoritarianism, when talking long enough, because when you are thinking as if you were the government, you just won’t understand why you shouldn’t surrender power and then why you should answer to anyone. Less governance - OK, I was alone in that, but the best (in their opinion) argument the others found was “so how do you host olympics in a libertarian land, or build a centrally planned new city? checkmate”, and of course there’s nothing I can answer to that because I don’t think a society needs global projects or flag days.
