The gender topic has pushed many libertarians further towards the right, and not the good kind of right. The kind that wants nationalism and government to enforce their own ideals of morality.

I think some things are not good for society, like widespread heroin use. That doesn’t mean we need a government to enforce these rules. Society has to talk to each other and discuss ideas, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

What’s wrong with nationalism? You’re a globalist then?

No I’m an individualist

So then you agree individuals should have the right to form groups and borders around their territory to protect themselves from hostile groups?

Individuals have the right to form groups, but they do not have the right to form borders that extend outside of their own private property. If 10 people have homesteaded a plot of land, they can try their best to defend it. However, they do not have the right to extend the group beyond the members that have agreed to partake.

There is very little difference between nationalism and socialism. They both seek to uphold the interest of the group over the individual. Nazi Germany was an example of this, as well as Communist Russia.

People absolutely do have the right to associate with (and exclude) whoever they wish, and that includes forming borders to protect their mutual interests.
