No, I don't get to tell you how to act. I'm telling you that you claimed to be a "Libertarian". You portray no "Libertarian" principles.
So what are you?
Just a "refresher" on Libertarianism - which is what you claim to be:
Libertarianism is a political philosophy prioritizing
individual liberty, self-ownership, and minimal government intervention in both personal and economic affairs. It advocates for free-market capitalism, strong private property rights, and maximum voluntary cooperation, often summarized by the non-aggression principle (NAP). Key principles include:
- Self-Ownership and Individual Rights: Individuals own their bodies and lives, possessing absolute rights to freedom of speech, action, and property.
- Non-Aggression Principle (NAP): It is illegal to initiate aggression or violence against others or their property.
- Free-Market Economy (Laissez-Faire): Voluntary, unregulated exchange is favored; economic activity should be free from government regulation, taxation, and subsidies.
- Minimalist Government: The state’s role is strictly limited to protecting individuals from coercion, theft, and fraud.
- Personal Freedom/Civil Liberties: Strong support for individual choice in personal matters, including drug decriminalization, open borders, and, for many, abortion rights.
- Non-Interventionism: A preference for a foreign policy of non-intervention and free trade over war and imperialism.
Libertarians are skeptical of political authority, advocating that individuals can best manage their own lives.
