Why do you give a shit if people "tell you what to do?"
I mean, if they're wrong, why not just ignore them? And if they're right, why not just accept the helpful suggestion and do it anyway?
Sounds like you just don't want your fragile ego to feel less-than-dominant. https://twitter.com/WalterRothbard/status/1264674370733125633

I mean shit, man, your very username is "David wearyourmaskinpublic!" That's literally telling people what to do, and for good reason. You understand the value of social pressure for the sake of a greater good. https://twitter.com/WalterRothbard/status/1264674370733125633
Fred Rogers told people what to do all the time. You just didn't notice because he did so in a friendly tone. https://twitter.com/WalterRothbard/status/1264701445724606465

You really think society would function smoothly if not for the threat of punishment and imprisonment? https://twitter.com/WalterRothbard/status/1264701782053269505
And how would you deal with, say, murderers and rapists if there's no threat of force? https://twitter.com/WalterRothbard/status/1264703076050616325
You're speaking in the kinds of generalities that make me suspect you've got something very specific in mind, but you don't wanna tell me. https://twitter.com/WalterRothbard/status/1264704015822131201
Can you give me some examples? https://twitter.com/WalterRothbard/status/1264704138534965249
How could a murderer possibly adequately compensate the loved ones of the person they murdered?
I mean, that's basically saying you can put a price on a human life, and furthermore, that the wealthy can and should get away with murder. https://twitter.com/WalterRothbard/status/1264704384107261955

Okay, now we're getting somewhere. Yeah, most drug laws are fucking ridiculous, I'm with you there. Maybe lead with that next time. https://twitter.com/WalterRothbard/status/1264704611211972616
Everyone THINKS they don't need the government, until one day it ceases to exist. https://twitter.com/WalterRothbard/status/1264704748445368320
Violent criminals. What's to stop a violent criminal from inflicting wanton harm and violence if there's no threat of being shut out of society? If all they gotta do is pay "compensation?" https://twitter.com/WalterRothbard/status/1264705015144382464
