I agree that those 2 things shouldn't be combined, and luckily "Gandalf" did not have a gun, just the drugs.
Porcfest, unlike Jackfest, has organizers, it has central planners. Jackfest is a representation of true anarchy, where people all go to the same place, and bring what they have to offer, but nobody is telling anybody else what to do or how to do it.
Personally, this is why I prefer to stick to events and hanging out with people who are free of substances that take away their control of themselves, especially when there are groups of people around. Even when I did psychedelics, I always much preferred to be by myself, to use the tools for the work they allow us to do, I view "partying" on these medicines as abuse.
That was indeed really lucky. What about next time tho? I've seen people doing all kinds of shit at PorcFest while open-carrying. It's only a matter of time.
Anarchy doesn't mean no rules. It just means no rulers. This is a cliche now. What you're describing, and what is happening at these camp-conferences too frequently, is libertinism or hedonism. Or just fuckyouism. It's not what libertarian anarchism is about, which is, fundamentally, respect for others.
Amen. The hardest thing I do is a beer every couple months. I respect others' rights to do whatever they want. I just don't want it near me, much less impacting me or mine. Getting fucked up and damaging people's peace and enjoyment is an asshole move. It's not necessarily aggression, but it's definitely not in keeping with the spirit of the NAP because it confesses a profound disrespect for the people around you.
