Principles are paramount to building a strong system of ethics.
When you have weak principles, you easily lose sight of staying true to your core values.
When that core is lost, people try to make the ends justify the means. People trade utilitarianism for principled virtues. People initiate violence because they think it justifies stopping some greater possible harm.
In libertarianism, it’s important to remember that the goal is to maximize consent while minimizing the initiation of violence.
Don’t be like the state and make exceptions to the foundations of liberty.
Be true to your virtues.
Cheers, to the spread of liberty and peace,
