No, because "freedom" isn't the right goal in and of itself, justice is. How does "Free" software to help ICE, perform drone strikes, assist in ethnic cleansing, etc. make the world free, never mind just?https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/1172630847544950784 …

Replying to @lizthegrey
The Free-as-in-libertarian software movement feels like it has always prioritized individual freedoms over individual protections. My right to punch you, but not your right not to be punched.

You did not understand libertarianism at all. It is always about “the right not to be punched” unless you are trying to punch someone yourself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-aggression_principle …

“Considered by some” and I’d argue not apparently practiced by many self-professed contemporary libertarians

Nowadays, everyone calls themselves a libertarian, because there is no strict definition of what it is. In the task of identifying a libertarian I personally recommend sticking to the definition of Rothbard, Nozick, Kinsella, and Hoppe.

Replying to @MaratVy @hondanhon and
There is indeed a kind of “socially responsible libertarians” who somehow occupy a good piece of the Bleeding Heart Libertarians platform, for example. Those do allow punching someone, even if the person had no intention to punch you. Because it is “just” according to them.

Yeah, I’m familiar with humanity’s long comfort with a just war. I’m still really pissed off, and am not going to reply anymore.
