Thick and Thin Libertarianism Part X

I never argued that libertarians that remains indifferent/neutral are being oppressive. I think you’re conflating two different premises. I am argueing that those that actually engage in racial discrimination and communitarian exclusion of races are engaging in oppression. The libertarians that are indifferent or neutral to that are not “oppressors” - what I would argue, however, is that they function as enablers of “oppressors”, reguardless of their intentions.

I would posit that just about anyone that was actually subject to racial discrimination or separatism themselves would consider it oppressive. That’s one sense in which it is intuitive. And on a societal level, most people do consider racial discrimination or separatism to be a negative thing, so in simple ad populum terms, my claim is correct.

As I’ve exhaustively tried to clarify, this is a non-sequitor. Strongly having an anti-racist social viewpoint does not equal coercion. Coercion is a non-sequitor from the social viewpoint itself, and you people are conflating social viewpoints with political policy positions.

For the millionth time, this is incorrect. I’m not advocating “forcing” anything on others in terms of aggression. I’m simply argueing for a social viewpoint and advocating a social context in which that social viewpoint is generally understood and adopted. Concluding something “unlibertarian” from this is simply a non-sequitor. It does not follow from the fact that I’m an anti-racist that I’m rationalizing coercion.

You’re strawmanning my definition of “oppression”. I never claimed that being neutral or indifferent is oppression. I claim that deliberately engaging in the act of racial discrimination and forming explicitly separatist communities is.

Oh please - the social engineer strawman is beyond cliche at this point.

For god’s sakes, stop conflating rights concepts with virtue and morality as a whole. I’m not saying you’re legally obligated to help a homeless man. I’m saying that it’s virtuous to help others in need as a general social viewpoint, and that it is unvirtuous to prejudge people based on superficial identity categories such as race and exclude them from entire communities because of it; I’m not putting foreward a political policy position.
