This is the part that makes me reject libertarianism as a thoughtful philosophy. I believe in individual liberty, but don’t we have enough proof that permissive laws or legalization of what had once been immoral didn’t improve human life?

Prostitution legalization didn’t end the white slave trade or alter the mentality of pimps and prostitutes. Legal or illegal it still draws the same lost souls.

Using that logic you must want to bring back the 18th amendment.

So you believe in individual liberty unless individuals take liberties you don't like.

Exactly.
