    “Okay” with their existence. Not with protecting them from abuse and persecution.

    Which about sums up the fundamental flaw with libertarians and why they are basically chickenshit republicans.

    Everyone has a right to exist. But you are on your own because I am not paying for that since I don’t personally care about it

    It is why the silver bullet is, and always will be, “explain how orphanages work under libertarianism”

    At which point you just have people vaguely saying they support other people’s rights while still wanting to pay no taxes, offer no help to anyone who doesn’t directly impact them, and still want to get everything they want.

    Libertarianism as a personal philosophy? You are an asshole. Libertarianism as a government? You are basically advocating for all the same shit republicans are but are too cowardly to admit what you actually want.

      I guess it depends on what kind of abuse we’re talking about… but in many places I believe just the cessation of abuse and persecution from the direction of the government would be a pretty big positive change.

      Or perhaps I don’t have enough imagination. Can you tell me what kinds of protection LGBT people need that other people don’t need?

      Can you elaborate? I don’t get what this is implying.
