nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn i feel like the majority of arguments i’ve seen coming from you argue for centralization, top down authority, and/or censorship.
why is that?
Discussion
Because the libertarian worldview is not complete. They get lots of things right (incentives, human action), but authority is part of the way the world works. You can either fill that vacuum with legitimate, well-defined authority, or with illegitimate, ill-defined authority. There is no such thing as no authority.
Compared to a libertarian I'm a rabid statist. Compared to a statist I'm a rabid libertarian. It's a matter of perspective and principles.
Thanks for asking btw, it's an important question.
I finally get it. what it is that i’ve felt around you that unsettles me. you are the kind of man who turns the church into an empire of man rather than the bride of love.
my prayer for you will be, whatever authority comes from God, He will strengthen. And whatever comes from that pride, will be destroyed.
