What alternative protections for individuals personal property are you suggesting?

Guns, mines, stern warnings, tanks, booby traps.

An armed society is a polite society

I wouldn't bother trying to frame it as a property rights issue.

I feel like individuals should own the air above their property just as much as the dirt below it.

You can't "own" air, it's almost unlimited. Property requires scarcity.

I do to, but we shouldn't tax it.

For example, it is illegal currently to enact class action lawsuits against polluters. Power to the people, a class action lawsuit would be a much better deterrent than any tax.

Hans-Hermann Hoppe for the poll, mostly because his ideas brought me over to libertarianism. Although Stephan Kinsella is probably my favourite contemporary libertarian.

I intend to write "taxation is theft" on my ballot in the Australian federal election in a month's time because I think I'm edgy and voting is compulsory here

We technically own air now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_rights

I think I agree with you on this, that does sound like a much better solution.

Unfortunately, I think "air rights" do not exist in any capacity. On the other hand, I also think it's bullshit that the US claims ownership over airspace. It's like if a government decided to carve up the Pacific Ocean for themselves, and then barred or regulated all private transport and enjoyment from it.

Would you guys support a Carbon tax because of property rights on the air?

Hey I own this atmosphere! I demand you pay up for dumping your waste gases in it!

I think the libertarian LDP puts forth candidates no? Although that's a good idea too.

The problem is that air is a very difficult thing to defend, almost impossible.

Anti-air cannons.

Yeah, you don't know when it is creeping up on you.

What could possibly go wrong having everyone with mines, booby traps, and their own personal tanks?

This sounds like an epic idea for an RP that will end in doom.

So you want citizens to turn their housing into military bases?

I'll probably vote LDP in the Senate (if they run candidates in my state) but I don't think they run candidates for the lower house elections, which is why I'm going to spoil my ballot for that one.

Fun fact, all of those are already legal.

I wouldn't be opposed to it.

Enjoy having no roads, no bridges, no police service, no fire service, no nothing.

Huh...well....

But still, everyone having their own would be interesting

Leyonhjelm is obviously my favorite libertarian outside of the USA. He's hilarious. +1

Good show. Write in yourself, after all who is better to run your life than you?

Sounds paranoid.

Nah. I support the legalization of essentially everything besides rape and involuntary pedophilia (No, I'm not a fucking pedophile. I abstain from sexual activity.)

It'd be very interesting, I can't wait to get a tank and reactivate the gun personally.

I might also Form 1 a few landmines eventually but I'm not entirely sold on that one.
