Hi everyone,
I just wanted to introduce myself a tiny bit as I am new here. I don't think I'll be posting much without first lurking for a while though. That is unless it's about a particular topic I feel I have personal or particularly different insight on.
I honestly have more of a passion for debating some of the more controversial subjects even within libertarian circles. I hope this doesn't end up making me hated.
Otherwise though, lately my biggest thing is arguing with people against net neutrality, but I doubt there's anyone on here that supports it considering it seems you guys are mainly anarchists.
I'm not exactly someone who listens to every single show. Over the years though I have occasionally watched and enjoyed some of Stefan's youtube videos and podcasts. I especially enjoyed "The Truth About Violence" and the discussions about "Unschooling" (something which I wish I could have experienced as a child instead of more traditional methods).
Also I would like to add, I am not an anarchist, nor do I think I will ever become one again. I at one time was an anarchist, but I have moved back to minarchy (pretty extreme minarchy though). Basically I just believe that the state should enforce only the NAP and protect from foreign invaders. I also don't see why a government must necessarily violate the NAP to collect taxes. There are good ideas such as a "transaction tax", which if you want your contracts enforced in court you will pay, but are otherwise not compelled to do so. I just don't believe that a state necessarily has to be evil or coercive and I just can't see how things wouldn't turn into feudalism without a state. Not trying to start a debate about this btw. I'm just giving my view.
I guess that's it for now. I don't really feel like giving anything more personal at the moment.
