As a political philosophy, libertarianism says nothing about respecting others' views and lifestyles -- let alone celebrate and cherish stupidities and absurdities. It certainly doesn't prescribe us to live and let live.

It says we MAY NOT USE VIOLENCE (= esp STATE coercion) to enforce beliefs we may have onto others.

It doesn't say I have to be nice. It doesn't implore me to be compassionate. It doesn't mean I have to respect and allow into my home dispicable and degenerate shit.

I can insult you all I want. I can refuse to engage with you because you're ugly, vegan, "autistic," or believe that Bitcoin is compatible with leftism. I can ridicule your pathetic ideas or lifestyle, in public or in private. I can tell nostr:npub1xapjgsushef5wwn78vac6pxuaqlke9g5hqdfjlanky3uquh0nauqx0cnde off for thoroughly misunderstanding what libertarian means or what its philosophy or ethics prescribes, or nostr:npub15dnln6cukw3yrflnv3hnrntdt9amh0uw466u6tns05ymqp3nal4qzz3lfc who certainly should know better.

Libertarianism is a non-smart contract: it asks about physical violence, initiation of force, and state power. Nothing more.

The rest-- religion, etiquette, values, behavior -- it relegates to a social level.

Living in harmony with others doesn't mean to embrace any odd retarded thing they do or say. it means to NOT throw them in jail for it
