Heute ist die Frage, ob dieser politische Ansatz sich in eine Zeit der ökologischenKatastrophen oder Degradation übertragen lässt. Kann man den libertären Munizipalismus auch als Strategie gegen die Dominanz fossiler Machtrguppen formulieren? Oder sind unsere Bedingungen heute so anders, dass man mit diesem Versuch in lange vergangenen Debatten verharren würde.

we're in a position as a modern techno-industrial culture this is my view that it's false to say what the oil 00:29:32 companies are saying that we can keep producing oil and gas we'll get the society to pay for carbon capture and storage and and other stuff but it's going to be a technological salvation 00:29:44 and then we can keep on with our life that's one version the the other version is the environmentalist version which the federal government has bought into and that is we'll go green and then we 00:29:57 can keep everything

for: false dichotomy of sustaining modernity
-
paraphrase
- The pace of modernity can neither be sustained in a high carbon nor a low carbon green economy
- No matter what the political party, they all subscribe to a view of sustaining the same or greater pace of modernity
-
comment
- libertarians want no constraints
- but nature herself imposes limits
- populations collapse if resources are overused
- human populations who adopt a Libertarian approach eventually encounter a limit anyways

Can you imagine a world without limits? Having to navigate a citywithout any limits on how people drive, for example? Or no limits onwhat harm we may do to others? Societies need limits to allow thecommon pursuit of individual and societal wellbeing.
- Comment
- related to the previous comment on limits
-
The concept understands humans tobe social beings and assumes that living within societies is associatedwith collective responsibilities, which includes the acceptance of cer-tain limits on individual freedoms.
- Comment
- This is pretty obvious that living within society means abiding by laws, but still shockingly ignored by many, especially of the libertarian persuasion.

It will only come by treating the women who are compelled to make the decision as human beings with full agency and deserving of the respect and dignity to which every human is entitled.
...and by ignoring the human beings they are murdering, denying them the very "respect and dignity to which every human is entitled" - except the one in her womb.
-
statistics have shown time and again that countries where abortion is legal have lower rates of the procedure than those where it is banned
I'd like to see those stats, but regardless, murder (which "abortion" is) is already banned everywhere, and it still happens at an alarming rate. This fact is no reason to legalize or tolerate it in any way - ESPECIALLY if one fancies themselves a Libertarian who is sworn to uphold the Non-aggression Principle.
-
It affects all involved
It disproportionately affects the unborn human being who had no say in the matter before being murdered.
-
every child is wanted
...except the aborted ones who die in a trash can of medical waste and are dismembered and incinerated.
I wouldn't choose that over adoption.
-
We know better than to use the force of government here.
We know it is appropriate to use Government force to prevent murder, because the Just Powers Clause of The Declaration of Independence explains that individuals can justly delegate powers to the Government that they have.
You and I may all justly defend ourselves and others against murder, so this is a power we all have. This is how we know that it is one of the rare powers that can justly be granted to Government.
-
None of us has the right to decide for someone else making this profoundly personal choice.
This applies to the unborn human in the womb as well - even more so since they have yet to develop the capacity to resist attempted murder. It is the duty of those who can resist to do so for them.
-
termination of a pregnancy
Except that intentional "termination of a pregnancy" violates the NAP of the unborn human, which is why people evade this by claiming that unborn humans are not alive (when they objectively are), or that they magically become human when they exit the birth canal or the abdomen via Cesarian section.
Murder is not a right, so it cannot be a reproductive right.
-
if you are looking for a political party that has no space for nuance or compassion in the conversation on abortion, there are already two parties for you
It's not a nuanced issue. The LP is in error when it ignores that abortion is a clear and obvious violation of the Zero-aggression Principle.
It is the pre-meditated murder of helpless unborn humans, and since the LP objects to murder in other situations, they must reject it in this one as well.
-
a vote for the other team is a vote for “killing babies.”
This is true though, specifically it fits the definition of murder since it involves the premeditated killing of one human being by another.
One can play word games about whether or not unborn humans are "babies" - but they most likely will be if not murdered. Also, the definition of murder doesn't require one to be born first - only that one be a unique human being. We can detect the presence of a "unique human being" with blood samples from the mother.
-
the other side wants to take choice and bodily autonomy away from women
This ignores the bodily autonomy of the helpless unborn human in her womb who had less say than the woman in being there.

If you have always wanted to know what it feels like to get stuck in a nonconsensual, one-way conversation with a libertarian high-school debate captain who’s more in love with his own brain than you will ever be with anyone or anything, Greenwald has just done you a great service. (I can already hear the debate captain shouting “point of personal privilege,” so I’ll try to steer clear of ad hominem from here on out.)

The great and chief end, therefore, of men's uniting into com-Il10nwealths, and putting themselves under government, is the preservation of their property; to which in the state of nature there are manythings wanting.
To me, this seems to be a very libertarian view. Locke see's the chief end as being the extension of property and political freedom, with a group of people who consent to being governed while also having the right to their own freedom and property.

While Americans tend to prioritize individual liberty, Europeans are more inclined to value the role of the state. Americans are generally more tolerant of offensive speech than Europeans. That has translated to a greater impetus to regulate tech in Europe.
