This whole “non-aggression” justification for extreme Libertarianism is rather silly, because in effect they are saying that they do not owe society anything (i.e. taxes) and that everyone should be on their own (the poor, elderly, sick, disabled, etc.) What a load of BS.

You know what’s a load of BS? This post.

Part of living in civilized society is paying taxes. That is just a fact of life. Without taxes, and some form of government providing basic infrastructure and social services for the poor, one could not have a civilized society.

No. So many times, no.

Society =/= government
Civilization =/= government

I’ll give you credit for not mentioning law enforcement, but you waste it relying on even more laughable arguments: “who will build teh roadz!?” and “but what about the poor?”

If you really need this laid out in more detail, I refer you to this lovely post.

That is a facile and sophistic rationalization for selfishness relying on a fallacious and inconsequential distinction between society and government. But kudos for using a humorous tag, because I am not in any sense a fascist.
