Partially through the "prostitute" reading. This guy is retarded. I can't believe that I used to be retarded enough to share a label with such retards. It's all bullshit.

I’m in the same boat, I can’t believe I was a hardcore Libertarian for years. I remember reading book long articles written by Stefan Molyneux on Lew Rockwell.com explaining how DRO’s would work and function. Wild to look back on

Libertarians need to be enslaved and traded to voluntary participants on the global slave market.

If you saw this man talking with your daughter, what would be an appropriate response?

In a better society, a pervert and degenerate like this would ornament a tree.

Alternative title of this one could have be “in defense of coomerism”

Libertarians, same with any variation of liberalism assume a host of value judgments without being able to give any epistemic justification for why those judgments are right or wrong, good or bad, better or worse. Who or what determined that NAP and the protection of property rights where the “best” or “good” ways to govern society? Where did the concepts come from? Why are they better? Any rebuttal from them is a logical fallacy.

Wow! To reduce any humanity and love relationships or deep friendships to just some kind of interaction...reminds me of the Skinner nonsense or like people are just no different than robots. Retard! Glad he was outed as the POS he is. Doesn't take much to dismantle his arguments.

“All of us are everywhere always paying for sex” Yes. That’s why we restrict and regulate this market to long term securities i.e. marriage and ban attempt undersell the market and profit from the arbitrage. What a dolt. So fathers are uninterested parties? Wives of the husbands who cheat with prostitutes are “uninterested?” The child of the broken families? Just more “uninterested” parties? Prostitution is sexual arbitrage. It is fraud that takes advantage of people with high time preference who can’t calculate long term risk and undersell the market to the advantage of the pimp who is using the value arbitrage between a proper sexual contract of marriage i.e. a security and selling a unsecured asset as if it provides the same thing risk free. Everyone is hurt by the price corruption in SVM and the result is the lack of stable family formation and declining births which destroys entire civilizations. It is form of property destruction because families NOT individuals are the base unit of society. Sex is for making families and then it’s not being used as such then you are stealing from sacred purpose. Prostitution is Theft. Liberalism is Theft.

How many libertarians were like me, assuming the best? I thought this book was about calling out the harm of putting a woman in prison that already had reached an economic hardship so dire that she had to sell her body. I still believe that, but I no longer have the benefit of the doubt for Block.

As I've said, I'm ashamed I used to like this guy. When I was a libertarian I really liked Block. You live and learn.
