The ACLU supported the rights of neo nazis to protest in a Jewish neighborhood. While not strictly a libertarian organisation, that is exactly the attitude. And libertarians would support that too. The rights of others to be free just like myself. It’s not selfish in any way.

And you should read up about why the aclu did this, they say some very relevant things to today.

This doesn’t contradict my point. Yes, libertarians believe everybody should have the same freedoms, and that’s commendable. But like I was saying, they often stop short of caring how their actions affect others, and that is inherently selfish.

Assuming I were part of an identity group such as Judaism, this would mean parades of people who want to murder me and my family being welcome outside my door to shout for hours of their intent, with no possibility of relief. sign me up for libertarianism!

They would also be allowed to brandish long rifles, as long as they don't actually use them.

Nice neighborhood y'all have here, eh? It'd be a real shame if crime went up around here...

This is literally how it works today in the US.
