And this guy has a doctorate in Political Theory? Libertarian advocacy on those issues is based on the concept of limited government, that in the US there is not Constitutionally-enumerated power to regulate those activities. While personal autonomy is a big part of many discussions, Mr Blake prefers to have us use one leg instead of two.
I believe many conservatives' disdain for libertarianism is that, in many ways, conservatives lost the philosophy War. Many people found that lots of conservatives in reality love big govt - as long as it's a right leaning govt. That resulted in crumbling at places like National Review and the Weekly Standard while Reason remains in tact.
If Mr Blake can't get the fundamentals right, I'm not bothering with his claptrap. It also helps to know that he was a NeverTrumperin 2016 and it seems he hasn't changed.
Thank you
A perfect example of how Libertarians actually promote big government is in their push for marijuana legalization.
Legal dope results in taxes. More taxes collected results in more spending. More spending results in bigger government.
