RE: Honey Nazis
I think you are advocating for a situation where anybody would be able to use violence against anybody unchecked.
No. Looking at the replies under this post ;) I think by now you know the NAP
What I'm saying is that you are advocating for an utopia.
Also no.
There would still be real criminals that need to be dealt with.
the thing is you just can't really propose a mechanism that would keep that world better even than the imperfect world we live in.
Well it would be a big improvement if some people in costume stopped doing immoral acts.
Yeah, it took me only 18 days :/ Still I got to it eventually.
Don't worry sometimes I reply on very old posts too.
I think we've gotten to a point where we understand each other's position, but we simply disagree. I'm well aware of the NAP but for a society to be founded on it, everybody should be practicing it or it breaks down. Just like communism.
And how do you do that armed with just the NAP? That's what I don't get that's where I think it all breaks down and becomes unsustainable.
I think you not quite understand it jet
The difference with communism is it's not a system that uses violence to force everybody to be a certain way. It's just knowing that you may/must defend yourself (or ask someone else) whenever you are attacked of threatend of stolen form. It's very basic. And let say there comes a murderer in my house, It's not necccesary for me to explain to the murderer the NAP, or that we have to agree on the non aggression principle, for me to do something against that attacker. I just practice it in reality. I try to stop the attacker (with deadly force if neccesary. I even think the murderer is, although he does not know the word, familiar with that NAP and the consequences in reality
So it's not the NAP that defends me against criminals. (also the ones in costumes) It's me literally or someone else that does is for me.
Of course it would be easier if more people understood the NAP. Which most do in a sense, except for the giant exception they make for government employees as if they are not normal human beings that ought to be bound by the same "rule", when the commit aggression theft and murder.
I have another question for you regarding your previous reply.
What do you personally believe/advocate should be done to me personally if I don't pay the demanded tribute, via taxes, to the political ruling class or don't obey their commands. Please be literal and specific.
