    It seems like many libertarians wish their actions didn’t affect others, e.g. spreading disease or releasing greenhouse gases. It would be easier because then we wouldn’t have to make hard choices, we wouldn’t have to admit that people’s actions can harm others and that fact doesn’t mean we can disregard each other’s rights. Just pretending like our actions don’t have costs for others is the easy way avoiding the issues.
