I was making no comments about libertarian philosophy in general, but rather the implications of three specific policy propositions.
Are libertarians in favor of “same sex marriage”, Yes or No?
Are libertarians in favor of open borders, Yes or No?
Are libertarians in favor of a weaker foreign policy, Yes or No?
My observation is that the answer is “Yes” to all three, and those propositions have consequences which are decidedly un-libertarian in that they 1) dramatically increase State activity and coercion, 2) increase the voting polity hostile to liberty, and 3) make the likelihood of war greater.
Your observations are all incorrect.
Open borders? Not me.
Same sex marriage? How consenting adults order their lives should not be a concern of the State at all. The only exception is using the Courts to enforce contracts.
Define “weaker” for me. If you mean having troops stationed in 60 countries when those countries should be defending themselves, I don’t think so. If you mean “screw with us and we nuke you off the face of the planet and then leave”, well that’s my preferred foreign policy. No more “nation building”
Screw with us and die.
Are libertarians in favor of homosexual marriage - none that I know.
What they say is marriage is a religious concept and the government has no business defining any religious concept.
They are in favor of ANY two people living together with a legal contract for their mutual benefit.
I do not know a single libertarian who favors open boarders.
Foreign policy, the want a strong foreign policy, but not what we are doing now.
Maybe I just know libertarians that are thinking individuals.
Does it concern you that a philosophical theory can be so malleable as to be adopted by both leftists and rightists?
Maybe there is something inherently faulty with libertarian philosophy.
If you are a minarchist, what are you doing wasting your time on FR? Why aren't you generating huge sums of money so that you can afford the security services that minarchists proclaim? You know, like the security details that have been procured by acting libertarians such as Russian Oligarchs, Soros, Obama, officers of the WTO and IMF, etc.
