This.
Play strategically if you want to win.
This is part of the reason I have never been a fan of hardcore Libertarian types. They are obsessed with their principles to the point of irrationality. Principles are an important thing. But sometimes, you must make sacrifices, even if temporary, for the betterment of your own beliefs. It doesnt matter if its censorship by private corporations, drugs, taxes, public infrastructure (schools, roads, emergency services, etc).
But no, 9 times out of 10 then would rather gain no ground because they were committed to it by autistically holding an impossible line.
It's also worth noting that principles are a luxury only afforded to victors. You have to win before you can grandstand.
The true test of a person's principles is how they conduct themselves upon winning a long and hard conflict.
When losing means your family getting brainwashed, raped, and murdered, then fuck your platitudes
Libertarianism is a peacetime ideology for a peacetime that has never and will never exist.
