Stefan Molyneux: Enemy Of Liberty?

Isn't he just calling out the hypocrisy displayed by SOME Libertarians? Every political persuasion has some of that amongst it's supporters. I think you miss the point of the video a bit.

He is giving an explanation for why he "broke up with" Libertarians and abandoned his strict no political participation stance based on the non-aggression principle, and his explanation is "SOME libertarians are hypocrites."

My point is that "SOME Libertarians" being hypocrites is not a logical reason to abandon Libertarian Principles. If you wan't to refute Libertarianism, you present a counter-argument that refutes them. Pointing out that some Libertarians are hypocrites is just a Logical Fallacy.

He's not just calling out the hypocrisy, he's using the hypocrisy to justify political support for Statism through a Statist. And it does not follow.
