I’m starting to feel that people think if someone is intolerant of their opinion they’re intolerant of them as a person. Try changing the subject to music, movies, tv, the stuff we actually all do to enjoy our lives and you’ll find that is often not the case. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/QvYzjWKNT0

Free Markets, Free Travel, Free Minds all matter greatly to me. Although, I’m convinced that to fix how we treat each other at a societal level (violence, theft, compulsion) we need to fix how we treat each other on the individual level (empathy). #amliberty #libertarian

I want you to love who you want, be who you want, buy what you want, sell what you want, use the medium of exchange of your choosing, travel where you choose, and just live your life. I just ask you do it without hurting others or taking their stuff. #Libertarian #amliberty

Some may say I’m too idealistic in my expectation of people voluntarily being more kind, forgiving, tolerant, peaceful and empathetic despite their differences. I’m not asking for perfection, just continued improvement. #amliberty

What Libertarians are saying is “We all have a diverse set of societal critiques how about we each try to test solutions in our communities and see what people choose as the best solutions, and learn from those that don’t succeed” #libertarian #amliberty

Reason why Libertarians feel like everyone sounds the same sometimes is because what many people are saying is “I have a reasonable social critique, that is enough for me to demand imposing my desired solutions on everyone”. #Libertarian #amliberty

Bottom Line, I’m always skeptical of complex large scale answers to societies greatest challenges that depend on getting the right people to implement things the right way cause miracles are rare in policy. #Libertarian #Amliberty

There are ways to win positively and negatively. Remember, how you choose to win will signal to others how they should win, what example do you want to set. Positivity is hard but it’s the right kind of infectious. #amliberty

How: Political action is necessary as a defensive and growth measure but progress is made in technology that creates alternatives to state services, and the demand for the state diminishing as we choose to be better to each other. Aspiration and technology is the way. #amliberty

Virtue: Patience, Tolerance, Forgiveness and Kindness should be important virtues regardless of faith. These particularly enable us to coexist and benefit from the social and economic bounty of pluralism in the context of freedom and liberty. #amliberty

Culture: Individuals should be free to engage in a free market for cultural/social norms. Like economic markets they’ll trend towards inclusiveness over time cause numbers talk. More people is good economically, politically and socially. Open doors always win long run. #amliberty

Economics: The more individuals can engage in exchange rooted in consent the quicker we can discover what works and what doesn’t in a changing world. It isn’t about perfection but economic adaptability and resiliency. #Amliberty

People resort to control when they fear or hate. Part of the libertarian mission is to choose to be responsible individuals modeling a world with less fear and hate so people can reduce their impulse to control each other. It’s not just about freedom but sustaining it. #amliberty
