I heard the label "bleeding heart libertarian" once. Does that shoe fit?

Why aren’t you for killing baby Hitler if it works out and against it if it doesn’t? https://fountain.fm/episode/FjeO8cdZWQJHr5SuIcM8

We Are Living in the Fourth American Republic https://mises.org/mises-wire/we-are-living-fourth-american-republic By Ryan McMaken > The old republic is gone. The constitutional order of the Jeffersonian years—i.e., the so-called “American experiment”—was swept away long ago. * First Republic (1776-1788) * Second Republic (1788-1865) * Third Republic (1865-1937) * Fourth Republic (1937- ) https://stacker.news/items/1482822

That’s one of the few books I’ve ever read in a single sitting.

Someone probably has a crazy record for that on Madden ‘99

The reason I keep poking at this is because I agree with so much of the reasoning but not the conclusion. You don't know what the person who's about to kill baby Hitler knows, perhaps they even have this magical geopolitical information. The point about how they shouldn't do it because they might end up killing the wrong person clearly applies here. Hundreds of little girls were killed by the US military. I totally agree that we have limited information and more information could change the analysis. I also appreciate how much you focus on incentives and Trump's known behavioral patterns to cool people down. My position hasn't been that this is obviously going to be a disaster on par with Iraq. I don't think that's far-fetched but my position is much more limited: preemptive strikes that will almost certainly kill innocent people are unjust. In fact, the main difference between that and preemptively killing baby Hitler is that we at least know that baby Hitler ended up killing lots of people.

Football can go on forever too, since plays have no time limit

I do too. I just don't see why it doesn't apply to preemptive military strikes.

Get a load of these two Boomers lamenting how much better penmanship used to be

Thank you kindly

It’s an incentive problem. Stacker News still has lots of zapping.

But then your attitude towards other people killing baby Hitler should be agnostic, no?

Dude, you better get that one to market ASAP

You don’t think boner pills and ball holders will advertise with us?

You guys sure spent a lot of time being tremendously wrong about Magic vs Pistons https://fountain.fm/episode/O6oEtq4aOHRmrgFNpHY5

White House Assessing How Iran Would Respond to US Ending War Without a Deal https://libertarianinstitute.org/news/white-house-tasks-intel-community-with-assessing-how-iran-would-respond-to-us-ending-war-without-a-deal/ by [Kyle Anzalone](https://libertarianinstitute.org/author/kanzalone/ "Posts by Kyle Anzalone") > Iran sent a proposal to the US that would bring the war to an end and allow ships to transit the Strait of Hormuz. > Iranian [officials sent the new proposal](https://libertarianinstitute.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=aae39e31b9f819f1e2384ca07&id=223b1847f8&e=4d47a68367) to the US via Pakistan. Tehran’s deal includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for Washington ending its blockade and war against Iran.  > The proposal, which Axios first reported on Sunday, would leave significant issues such as US sanctions and Iran’s nuclear enrichment program to be resolved at a later date. The White House is expected to reject the proposal as President Donald Trump sees the blockade of Iranian ports as one of his key points of leverage in negotiations with Iran. https://stacker.news/items/1480769
