I’m kind of bad in these situations (from a libertarian perspective) because I tend to refuse to worry about things I like the outcome of.
If you and I had incredibly similar views on how people should behave, and we both put time and money into achieving those outcomes, but I didn’t support using violence (libertarian reductionist view of government), does that mean I support things I’m ostensibly fighting personally?

I agree with free association and, to some degree, property rights. I don’t think my “yeah, fuck racists” stance is principled.
Okay, but we aren’t talking about you.
