My code doesn't infringe on the freedom of others to live their lives so long as they don't infringe on my freedom to live mine.
Have you thought about why? Where does that come from? Is it logical? Or is it a conscience? A conscience give to you by . . . God?
Or at the very least: the laws of nature and nature's God?
Yes
It could be a self preservation mechanism, either logical or "instinctual". The creation of unnecessary enemies is not a desirable outcome
I'm with you that far. But, if you're sure you can get away with it and you're stronger than they, you'll kill anyone and take their stuff, right?
That would be infringing on their freedom to live their lives, so no. The "get away with it" is long gone from consideration, whether that be because of logic or evolution or instinct or common sense or conscience or whatever - the code is "my freedom relies on my preservation of the freedom of others." Or, better, my code is best because it is a code that, if followed by everyone, creates only happiness for everyone. That's not to say there is no unhappiness, but that the code is not responsible for that unhappiness.
If I sat down and thought long and hard about it, I could add "unless I can get away with it" back in. But then we're talking about me making a conscious effort to work against my innate-at-this-point behavior.
Then why the fuck are you voting republican? That's some libertarian shit if I ever heard it.
So I'm gonna have to clarify some definitions here to answer that. A Republican party member may be either a RINO, an economic conservative, a traditional Conservative, or some combination of the above. These (I mean, apart from RINO) are right-wing values - economical growth and honoring tradition.
Libertarianism is the celebration of freedom - this is neither right nor left wing, it is "south" or "down", and is opposed to Authoritarianism. Both Right and Left wings can go either Liberal or Authoritarian. The current Left wing in America is unbelievably authoritarian.
The current motion of the "Republican Party" puts it very safely Right and Below Center - conservative libertarianism.
In addition to that, President Trump is the absolute best libertarian candidate who's ever existed. He's for equality, he's for freedom, he's for avoiding unnecessary involvement in foreign international affairs. And as soon as there's a hint of his libertarian side being taken advantage of, the boot comes down fast and decisively. There will be freedom, and those who wish to partake are welcome. Those who wish to harm our freedoms are not.
Long answer short - I'm voting Republican because the Republicans are Libertarian.
laughs in one year in prison for burning flag which isn't hurting anyone and also strong border in which some illegals are peaceful and do not hurt anyone
I don't follow that at all, sorry.
Are you saying there's currently, or plans to create, a one-year imprisonment for flag burning? I'd argue that is a declaration of war against the flag in question. Wartime enemies are no longer letting me live my life in peace, so "live and let live" is out the window.
Illegal immigrants are by definition harmful, so again "live and let live" is out the window. Our economics are geared towards our known numbers. We can adjust up or down as necessary to accommodate legal immigration and give ourselves a margin of error, but if someone comes over and works on the down-low for cheap then they drive down wages and increase strain on social systems, which are acts of harm against the freedom of workers and the systems we've built for ourselves.
