A comment on Freedom is not simple. Parent comment

The parent asked for clarity on which writings, and I am similarly curious.

I can’t imagine a Libertarian worldview that isn’t aware of the fact that actions that impinge of the rights and freedoms of others need to be limited, and enforcing those laws are one of the few genuine responsibilities of the government. To pretend otherwise is a total straw man.

Yeah exactly. Libertarians don't advocate for zero gov't. There's a lot of demonization and (willful?) lack of nuance and understanding of it.
