        Of all the age of consent arguments libertarians make this is by far the weakest. Age of consent is literally up to a vote and can be changed. Thats how Arizona got it’s Romeo and Juliett law in the first place.

      They are using the american definition of libertarian, which is basically a pseudoconservative.

      Quite different from the european definition, which includes leftist ideologies like libertarian marxism (which is in practice extremely close to anarcho-communism)

        Yeah I consider myself an anarchist which is a subset of left wing libertarian so I was surprised. I didn’t know there are right wing libertarians that aren’t claiming to be anarcho-capitalists.
