socially progressive, financially conservative.

Yeah that slow-rolling shitshow is called libertarianism, and there's no consensus to be found about what "social progress" is there. Some see it as the state stepping back and letting people buy fentanti as an appetizer and some see it as subsidized protection from consequences

I think there’s general consensus among libertarians that people should have rights and freedom.

Do what you want with your own property and don’t touch mine without permission.

It makes sense, but it provides no governance toolkit for externalities outside of "lol just sue your billionaire corporate neighbor if he treads on you"

It also, taken to its extremes, ascribes absolute agency to any person with a heartbeat, regardless of age or mental firmness.

Yes, every human has agency but that doesn’t mean that children should be able to do anything an adult can. There is a difference between a child and an adult which I think almost everyone recognizes.

Yes, a strong rule of law applied equally regardless of power or money would be fantastic. What other tools are you talking about?

Couldn’t that be better described as libertarian? You want people to be able to live their lives as they see fit both socially and financially without government intervention telling them what they can and can’t do as long as they aren’t hurting others?

circular arguments ?

I'm curious where the demarcation line is in your view , between the social and the financial ... ?
