But that doesn’t mean I don’t have limits. Libertarians aren’t anarchists, just anarchist-adjacent. We still believe in a system of laws that should be followed in order to maintain a smoothly running society and economic system. While you could line up 100 different libertarians and ask them for the definition of libertarians and get 100 different answers, the basic principle they all stand by is that they want a free society.

You can’t have a free society if people are murdering, thieving, and doing other crimes that intrude on people’s ability to get their healthy dose of life, liberty, and the pursuit of property.

But there are nuances here. For instance, the libertarian principle of “live and let live” applies to those who can make their own decisions with sound minds and bodies. Two consenting adults can get up to some pretty sick stuff with one another that is socially taboo. So long as they’re both in agreement that this brings them happiness then they can have at it without a word from me so long as they don’t try to force me to view or accept it.

However, this changes when you introduce animals, or more importantly, children.

Children have neither the mental capacity nor bodily maturity to consent to anything that involves sex or sexualization. Even if a child says “yes” to something, he or she was not consenting under the understanding and knowledge of what would follow, nor the long-term ramifications of the act. This is why we have very strict laws regarding children when it comes to sexual acts.

Today’s radical leftists have increasingly confessed to thinking these laws are outdated and that a child’s consent weighs the same as an adult’s consent. However, their wish that the Overton window has drifted that far hasn’t come true so they do what radical leftists do; they begin the process of “normalization.” This means bending the rules without breaking them in order to slowly get society to see their disgusting fetish as an everyday thing.

Firstly, they do away with the idea of biological sex. This helps to soften the boundaries because it gives off the idea that if children can choose their gender as small children, then they must have a much greater understanding of male and female than we previously thought. They can then argue that if children have a stronger grasp of sex than previously assumed, then surely they must also understand sexualization.

To help this along, activists posing as educators introduce lessons into the classrooms under the parent’s noses, and books in the school library that depict sexual acts. They soak mainstream culture in the concept and punish those who disagree with it.

Then, of course, there are the “kid-friendly drag shows.” This includes events like “drag queen story hour” that get the kids used to seeing gender-bending people being fun and entertaining. Most of these shows go on to include sexually charged dancing. The dual purpose here is that the kids get used to being around sexually charged adults, and these adults get to be sexual around kids.

Here a libertarian meets a fork in the road. On one hand, he may say that the parent or guardian in charge of the child can raise that child however they wish and if that involves bringing them up in hyper-sexualized environments and transgender concepts then that’s their decision.

In most cases, the libertarian saying a parent can raise their child however they wish would be dead on the money, but in this case, he has to square that belief with the understanding that a child is not of sound mind or body. It is a person, yes, but a person is still in a stage of basic development. The child has no real-world experience or understanding of sexual concepts. Even young teenagers struggle with these concepts, and we can see the mental damage done to younger teens who have been put into sexual situations.

We have more than enough evidence to know and understand that sex is damaging to children. It is a sexual assault on an unsuspecting victim that cannot consent.

This is a massive violation of the libertarian principle, and as such, the libertarian is fully within the bounds of his belief system to call for a law that makes everything from sex-change surgery for minors to kid-friendly drag shows that feature hyper-sexualized dancing and interactions wholly illegal.

Again, the libertarian isn’t an anarchist. In fact, the libertarian is likely the fiercest protector of liberty. The liberty of children is under threat when adults decide to steal their innocence and natural development, and the libertarian should be standing in the way of it all.
