I did.

How do you all ensure individual liberty - in the context of societies that limit it without governmen oversight, protections and regulation which , to be honest, as our own history shows - only partially address the problem?

Seems to me libertarianism refuses to accept (despite screaming about individuals) that individuals - and groups of them - are fully capable of limiting the rights and liberties of people without "government," using only their collective biases and agreed-upon-bigotry to do so?

The "rights" thatlibertarians believe are "natural" or "god given" or whatever... that's not the case at all. And they are, in fact, existant only due to the blessing and whim of our communities and neighbors.

Where liberterianism leaves people up to the wolves... codified protections do not.
