The NAP is only colorably considered a "principle" when one applies it toward one's own life and one's own choices. That's notably NOT the way that the "libertarians" who pay it the most lip service use it.
Instead, they apply it to other people's lives and other people's choices. And the explicit point is to measure the nominal accepability of those other people's lives and choices, and as necessary to provide colorable justification for imposing their wills on those other people in order to prevent or punish the "wrong" choices.
That's the exact function of law, simply transferred to a different concept.
Isn't this entire thread about "libertarians" vs libertarians? I'm not sure who you're trying to argue with but it certainly isn't me 😁
By "libertarians", are you referring to the non-libertarians that OP was outlining in their post?
