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.
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?

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.
you make an assumption that i am libertarian. but from the first moment i heard you speak, something was unsettled in my spirit. there is something in you that does not reflect the liberty that comes from where God is. you are not yet surrendered to Him. because of this, your power and focus are dangerous.
I can't argue with feelings, where am I wrong?
You and I have the same King, but don’t see eye to eye. I’m going to stop looking at you, and look at Him.
I'm actually very interested in this topic, you're right that it's easy to dress up our agenda in Christian terms and become a hypocrite. Would you like to come on the TGFN podcast and talk about it?
See, this what i’m talking about.
If you would have said, “have coffee“ i would have done it.
Come on your podcast? Why? So i can elevate myself as some sort of expert over others?
I have no need to be heard. I have need of truth in the innermost parts. To get rid of my pride and anger and bullshit. I speak when i feel i should, and don’t when i feel i shouldn’t. And if i mess that up, i ask for forgiveness.
