what i dont get is the contradiction between libertarian doctrine, which calls for state control as opposed to say federal because it's closer to "the volk" and so capable of being more nuanced and/or responsive. and the way in which libertarians approach political questions, treating their own position as a kind of inflexible a priori, and not even feeling the need to engage the actual issues in any real way. it makes no sense to me. why would flexibility and responsiveness not apply to how libertarians use their own political viewpoint?
