"First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me."

This is the perception of libertarians, and especially anarcho-capitalists today: We don’t care about people, feelings, experiences, or anything but principles and arguments. If it’s not an argument, it doesn’t matter. On the other hand though, this standard of rigor would have, in days past, been the only respectable way of practicing any academic discipline, especially philosophy.
