I have this friend who is libertarian. I don't know too much about what views they hold but can you guys fill me in so I can show him why he's wrong?

From an ancap perspective the concept of a nation state is moot. Sure it's degeneracy, but not my circus, not my monkeys.

AnCap criticisms of government systems and authority are fair. However, like u/darth_biden said in his comment, a significant percentage of people are evil, power-hungry psychopaths. So then the problem with the "not my circus, not my monkeys" perspective is that it will inevitably become your circus sooner or later, so a proactive approach toward monkey management is better than a reactive one.
