If there is one thing I learned in life is that humans love to control and manipulate other humans. It can be by force, by faith or by emotional appeal.

It happens in all governments, all markets, all religions, inside companies, between friends, in the internet, among family members, etc. Even libertarians love to tell you how you should live your life, with consequences if you don't.

Life is a constant struggle to be who you and only you want to be.

True what you say. Aggression is the norm in the statist society.

BTW... Someone who calls himself "libertarian" not always will be a libertarian.

A libertarian will never use force or fraud aiming to tell you how you should live your life, as long as you are not an agressor.

If you live your life in a way that a libertarian finds, in any way, wrong, this libertarian will ignore you, or boycott you, or even keep you away from this libertarian's private property, in order to avoid YOUR aggressions...

but a real libertarian will never be THE aggressor.

Libertarians will use emotional appeal to control you. It's not force by their definition. But they will trick you into behaving in the way they want you to behave. In their mind, you made the choice to be fooled by them. They may not be the agressor, but they will definitely control you.

*too often. But that says more about the individual than Libertarianism writ large. The philosophy does lack widespread understanding / consideration of subtlecoercion force, fraud, and coercion, but accurately defines the boundaries of moral behavior.

Private property is a form of violent act on the commons, you fucking imbecile. Here watch your idiotic argument gets deconstructed, and how the LIbErTaRiAnS will always use force first:
