There used to be punishment by government and society for kinks that were unacceptable. The right internalizing Libertarianism made this possible (which unfortunately was nearly inevitable in a democratic culture). You either enforce the rules of your society or you will have new rules forced upon you.
I wouldn’t say anarchy, libertarianism always descends into subjugation. Lolbertarians left unchallenged always allow themselves to be ruled by others. Wokeism is a glaring example of this where live and let live failed so miserably that we now have to debate about whether we should let pedos groom children.
We are probably thinking somewhat along the same lines, just worded differently.
A lot of libertarians (or even classic liberals) always seem to stop at live and let live, do whatever you want.
Some or most of them (don't know which is more accurate) never seem to finish the line "Live and let live, do whatever you want", with "so long as it doesn't affect or harm others".
We have to have some laws, some order, some basic morality in public; otherwise we wind up with what is happening now.
And breaching those laws should result in punishments, sometimes harsh punishments, depending on what is done.
One thing that must be remembered is that individual liberty must always be defended, otherwise others will take advantage of it, or take it away.
Sorry if this post sounded condescending in anyway (isn't my intention), just wanted to put my thoughts out, and see if we are thinking roughly along the same lines.
Does anyone else feel like their address was changed overnight to Sodom or Gomorrah?
What part of keep your kinks private do these individuals not understand?

Always seems like libertarianism always descends into anarchy, in practice.
