This is a call to the world: protect the Kurds, secure a decentralized future for them in Syria, and stop legitimizing violence as “stability.”
Stand with the Kurds now, before ISIS and chaos rise again from the ruins.
When you don't have God, whatever your highest value is becomes your God.
If you are an atheist who doesn’t have kids, that God tends to be yourself or your conception of yourself. Your identity.
This is a particular problem for libertarians who are atheists, childless or unmarried.
Libertarianism often becomes their God, and their identity as a libertarian becomes their religion, when it was only ever supposed to be your legal theory. And because they are trying to make it something much bigger than what it was supposed to be, they end up getting the theory wrong.
This is why goofy woke libertarians will say things like “being trans doesn’t violate the nap, so why do you care” when libertarianism has nothing to say about caring. All libertarianism tells us is that I can’t beat a trans person over the head with a club or support the government doing it. It doesn’t tell me that I have to pretend a dude in a dress is a woman.
This is also why some libertarians recoil at hypotheticals, or real world situations where there aren’t perfect libertarian solutions currently available.
I guess my point is that you should be a libertarian and it’s fine if that’s a part of your identity, but there should be things you value way above it. God, family, friends, community, being a decent person, should all be more important to you than your legal theory.
