I agree with most libertarian positions. Maybe all of them.

The individual calls his own violence liberation, but that of the state, atrocity.

That sounds incredibly smart, until you consider that individualism requires respecting the rights of others, which kinda means individuals are forbidden to call their violence liberation. It's different in collectivism.

I admit I was just doing a contrarian twist to Stirner's quote.

I actually was a libertarian in a former life, going the full spectrum from John Stossel to Ayn Rand to Murray Rothbard, before finally giving up on it.

What are you now anon? Or have you finally realized the absurdity of ideology?

Naïve utopianism that logically ends in exactly what it argues against.

I'd hardly call it political philosophy. Seriously, just think about freedom in a basic real context and it falls apart. Libertarian freedom logically concludes in a tyranny of a state that goes by another name.

Lolbertarianism is dogmatic and requires magical thinking when it's principles are challenged by exceptions. It is either consistent or practical, but can not be both simultaneously.

This. Unfortunate, too.

This also sounds incredibly smart until you realize that the reason we have a state that enforces its own tyranny is because people won't agree to respect the rights of others they dislike.

Hence why Pogroms used to happen in Europe, because the state chose to overlook people not respecting the rights of a minority they disliked.
