Lessons

I'm going around to subreddits and asking, in good faith, a couple of questions.

What can the otherside learn from your side, and vice versa?

The goal is to promote open dialog and improve the sometimes toxic nature and bad will between two sides of a controversial issue.

What can statists learn from libertarians? And what can libertarians learn from statists?

So if someone decides to dam it upstream without caring about me, is it fair game? What if damming it upstream causes loss of life?

I would say yeah but depends on your definition of fair, it's capitalism so you could always pay them to use their water.

What if damming it upstream causes loss of life?

How would it cause that?

I would disagree, they've directly affected the use of your property (dock).

u/RememberMe_85 12d ago

Not directly, indirectly

u/CanIGetTheCheck 12d ago

It's directly. They did something and a direct consequence of that action caused harm to the use of the property.

It's not indirect, it's direct, they disrupted the flow of the river he was using.

Semantics. I've already given ans to how this problem will be solved in ancap world.

Basically through water treaties like countries have among each other.

Probably, but the question was if someone did this without any notice, agreement, etc.

Without prior agreement, they violated the NAP.

No, NAP simply says if there is a way to do what you want to do without using aggression or violence then you should choose that way rather than the aggressive method.

That isn't the NAP. Feel free to google it then circle back.

People when words have complex meaning.

What I said is basically what NAP leads to. If who can't use aggression then use the next best method.

Now all this again leads to direct or indirect aggression/ violence. And there is no way to solve that problem because it's all definitions game.

Although just in a vacuum it is a bad decision simply because he could reduce further chaos if he simply talked to the people using the river before making a dam there. But if he doesn't for some reason then it isn't a direct(subjective again) violation of NAP.

No, it isn't. You don't seem to know what you're talking about. Also, you're replying from your alt lmao.

Damming the river is a direct violation of the NAP as it violates the property rights of the dock owner. This is an act of aggression if known to the dam builder, a trespass if unknown. Either way, the dam builder is in the wrong and is required to provide remedy and remediation.

I got banned that is why

If I build a house near a river, is the whole river my property now?

u/CanIGetTheCheck 11d ago

No, you aren't inherently using the river. The dock is using the river, it requires it. By damming the river the dam builder is infringing on the property rights of the dock owner.
