RE: Bill Buppert
How can someone promote Non-aggression and then do anything in support of imperial wars? Making money doesn't absolve a libertarian of everything they do. I've always enjoyed and shared his writing and interviews, but it's pretty disturbing to hear he's working as a merc to assist the state while claiming to be an anarchist... would love to have more understanding about this seeming contradiction.
I actually agree with you on this, and have asked him the same thing many times. Unfortunately, as a result of my stance, many in this area have done what they can to make me look bad.
Active support of the imperial war effort is wrong, always. But 6 figures will change anyones morals...or?
There are a lot of mitigating circumstances that could exist, such as hiring out to a commercial ship to guard against Somali pirates... but just being told that he's a merc in the Middle East leaves too many questions to make a sound judgement. If I found out that Buppert is aggressing against the natives of other lands on behalf of the US or any other state, I would no longer share what he writes. Don't need the help of a hypocrite to promote the movement.
