To be clear... Totalitarian: I want the say in how everyone uses everything. Socialist: Everyone should have a say in how everyone uses everyone’s stuff. Libertarian: Everyone should have a say in how they use their life, body and property and not those of others. #amliberty

If voting for an emerging party is seen as a protest vote for those rejecting the status quo. Would a vote for the incumbent parties be an affirmation vote, affirming and giving in to the standard of war, confiscation and control? #Libertarian #AmLiberty #ReadyYet

A Libertarian world is an individualist one. Where claims and claimants are taken as themselves in their context. Where one is given the opportunity to make their claims and be heard and others dispute them and also be heard. No one owns truth, all should seek it. #amliberty

I’d like a world where people can speak to the traumatic events in their life and others can deny accusations made to them without people rushing to condemn either of them as liars or troublemakers. Justice is not found for anyone by preventing thoughtfulness. #amliberty

Ostracism/Shame is a legit tool of free association to punish. My personal preference is not to use this in regards to ideology because you create a precedent to discourage thinking and push people away into growing echo chambers which over time can have blowback. #amliberty

Government and voluntary organizations are at their most different when you examine them on a micro level. The resource constraints, the management interests and more all lead to a great diversion of internal governance. #amliberty

Some say you must carefully design a free society to have free people which may require prioritizing society or “nation”. On the contrary any society that doesn’t prioritize first people being free despite their differences can never be a free society. #amliberty #libertarianparty

I absolutely loathe how aggregation destroys and distorts data. If you understand how aggregation hides true microeconomic trends shouldn’t the same apply to demographic/social stats. Aggregated data ignores individuals and individuality and leads people to horrible conclusions. #amliberty

Always annoys me when people fear monger corporations. You do realize governments are just corporations with geographical monopolies over the use of police/military power where citizens get 1 free non-transferable voting share with a negative dividend (taxes). #amliberty

Rules need enforcement. Enforcement takes resources. More rules require more resources taken from the economy or enforcement gets spread too thin which makes the rules less credible making them meaningless. So whether they be laws, morals, or any other kind of rule. The mantra that best manages resources with order is “simple and few”. As a #Libertarian I see autonomy, resources and order optimized when rules are “simple and few”. #amliberty

Laws don’t reduce crime. They expand what is a crime defining more and more of us as criminals. Coexistence doesn’t come from dictates or zero tolerance, it comes from respect for each others life, body and property and a willingness to tolerate and forgive each other. #amliberty
