    It’s all about individual freedom until you start asking libertarians about the rights of kids and contractual indentured servitude.

      but almost no two libertarians will agree about those things. if you think there is only one “blessed” or accepted viewpoint on those topics, you’ve been duped.

      for example on the rights of kids. there will be somebody who will argue they fully own themselves and parents are never allowed to hit children or otherwise harm them. then there will be some idiot who argues that because babies are helpless and the parents made it, that the parents “own” the child until some point and can do what they want with it. other libertarians will have even more differing viewpoints.

        I don’t think having a diversity in viewpoints on whether kids have rights is something to celebrate.
