Two Different Worldviews

The difference between radical and moderate libertarians may originate in their worldviews. A worldview is a broad overview of where the individual stands in the world. Does the libertarian believe that the predicament of the individual in the U.S. is similar to that of:
1. French citizens fighting against Nazi occupation during World War II, or
2. The village eccentric asking other village residents for understanding and toleration.
If you choose the first worldview, then you are more likely to take a radical libertarian position. If you favor the second worldview, then you are more likely to take a moderate libertarian position.
