@widget But imagine if you were that person who had gotten knocked down and people told you didn't deserve help. But, you know that you did deserve it and that you didn't put yourself in the position you found yourself in. There's a thing in psychology called the Fundamental Attribution Error, which states that we blame others for their mistakes and attribute it to their character, but when we suffer from the same pitfall, we blame it on external causes beyond our control. That seems to underlie purist libertarian ideals and your logic. How do you know they didn't deserve help?
