The NH libertarian party is a fucking joke, it's just insane people running it. I honestly can't believe the main party hasn't fully disengaged themselves from them. They're not even libertarians, as this post, goes %100 against the NAP, which is one of the foundations of libertarianism.
The Non-Aggression Principle was always a swiss-cheese ideology. Looks great, tastes great, but its full of giant holes. It isn't rooted in some foundational legal understanding of assault and battery, or property theft or damage, or reputational slander, or financial harm. The basis for the NAP boils down to "Are you to blame for my anxiety?" And the prescription response for a violation is "Anything I think will make me feel better."
It's exactly the kind of reasoning that gives the term Anarchism a bad name. No common code of conduct or shared understanding of the world. Just a million little free radicals riding the tide of their insular views and knee-jerk reactions.
O I completely agree, I just thought it was funny that they're basically doing the exact opposite of one of the foundations of libertarianism relies on.
I think calling them free radicals is an insult to organic chemistry.
