Close backdoors. The simplest way to minimize aggression against you
If people can’t hurt you they don’t. If they can, some might and they’ll come up with 1001 reasons justifying it and you’ll just get even more mad but lose anyway.
How to live a libertarian life? Most libertarian says honor other’s freedom. That’s like 20% of the equation.
Even if you honor other’s freedom doesn’t mean they will honor you.
The other 80% of what truly matters is to prevent others from fucking you up.
Now there are many ways people can hurt your interests deliberately in ways that not even libertarian count that as force or fraud.
For example, fraud is “wrong” under libertarianism. What about misleading marketing?
Here is an easy way to handle that. When you can defend yourself against such things you do not need to worry about others thinking it’s right or wrong. Just prevent things you don’t want from happening. Period
Say someone wants to install backdoor in your computers. Would you allow it? No right.
What about if the person doesn’t mean harm? Would you allow it? Still no, What about if he got offended that you think he means no harm. Still fuck no.
Many things government do is like backdoor. If you get married your wife can walk away with billions of dollars.
If you buy lunch she can just meet you for the lunch.
If government run public school they can indoctrinate children to be communists. If someone raise tax they can squander the money for welfare and healthcare.
If you have faith in religion you can believe false things and do stupid things like getting married and embracing monogamy. You can even end up donating money to the poor thinking you will go to heaven for that. All those are backdoor to really horrible things.
Not all those backdoors can be closed.
Tax is one thing. You can’t avoid all taxes.
Here looks for ways you can avoid backdoor. Look at statist backdoors.
For example, do you want federal government to decide stuffs or state government or local government?
Pick local. Then you can avoid aggressions by moving out.
Two presidential candidate. One want to raise tax and increase government. Another want to lower tax but don’t really decrease government spending. Which one you choose?
I always think that commies interests are like owners of the country and libertarians interests are more like customers.
If you buy stuffs from McDonald would you rather McDonald lower price or have budget deficit? Of course you want McDonald to lower price. McDonald budget deficit is not your problem.
The same way with tax. Do you want lower tax or low government spending? Ideally have both. But if we can choose one, choose lower tax. To hell with low government spending. Government won’t use money for good purpose anyway.
Libertarians are like customers. Don’t worry about government debt. Let the commies pay for it with reduced welfare and healthcare.
Income taxes or inflation taxes? both are robbery. But inflation taxes is a big gapping loophole and backdoor on government side. You can just hoard bitcoin. Bye bye inflation taxes. Good taxes are taxes we don’t pay.
Tariffs or income taxes? Both are robbery. Tariffs. Then follow Robert Kiyosaki’s teaching. Get rich first before buying anything. You’ll do fine.
Stop backdoor. Live happy peaceful life
On the other hand fully take advantage of statist backdoors.
Be powerful. And you’ll be free from aggressions. Less aggressions at least.
