There is no such thing as a right to govern other people. Any act of governing others is archation— it violates their natural human rights in several ways. No one can have the right to archate.

Liberty Doesn’t Mean “With Permission”
I’ve once again encountered one of those people who likes to believe that the word “liberty” means something along the lines of “with the permission of an authority“. This is mostly based upon the military’s long-standing intentional misuse of the word.
The Trap of Niceness
Many libertarians try to err on the side of niceness. I think that’s praiseworthy. It’s nice to be nice. But, what worries me is that misplaced niceness makes the bad guys believe that they really aren’t doing anything all that bad. If no one is willing to call you out on what you’re doing, then it must not really…
Racist “Libertarian” Nationalists
A Facebook group I was recently added to, with “libertarian” in the name, seems to mostly be a hangout for “white supremacists/nationalists” who want to pretend their stance is somehow “libertarian“.

There’s No Place Like Home
Do you only have rights when on your own real estate? What if you don’t own any real estate? Do you then have no rights? That seems to be the implication.

Skool vs Education
For a sizeable percentage of people, school doesn’t “work”. Not if you expect it to result in education, anyway. I’ve mentioned before that many of my relatives work at government schools. One has recently retired, but has shifted into being a “substitute teacher”. His recent experiences are enlightening.
“Guilty” of Possession?
Mere possession of anything can’t be a krime. There must be possession plus… something. What “something”? To be a krime there has to be possession plus archation–possession plus an act which violates someone, and mere possession doesn’t. It can’t.
Lies of Omission
There is a disturbing trend in government schools and other youth indoctrination institutions to teach kids how to survive an unwelcome encounter with a cop.
