From the comment section in a thread elsewhere on Facebook: “So here’s something that I truly don’t understand about radical libertarianism. If we were to get rid of police entirely, who would protect the poor.” . . . The problem with pragmatic anti-radicalism is that it so often, the questions being asked by people who consider themselves practical actually depend on some background presumptions about what practical, day-to-day reality must really like. Background presumptions which, with even a little bit of investigation, turn out to be pretty hard to distinguish from a bad joke.
