Milei's stance on geopolitics seems to strengthen the libertarian case that wherever the state exists, there is violence.

And even if those who are part of the state endorse libertarian principles, it seems like the violent and aggressive nature of the state will eventually make them the opposite of a libertarian.

Something I've discovered over the last few months while having conversations with people about the conception of individual freedom, rights and liberty: Understanding 'natural rights' and 'natural law' is crucial in making a rational, unemotional case for any of those things.

Some material to read about them:

'Introduction to Natural Law' excerpt from Rothbard's book 'Ethics of liberty'.

'Law, Property Rights and Air Pollution', a standalone article by Rothbard.

Well that's hugely disappointing, if not unsurprising. 😒

It is what it is
