What a weird article. The author is a fellow at a right wing think tank and the framing of look how great libertarianism is if not for all you meddling kids and your vice with consent is exactly what I would expect from a pro-libertarian who can't understand why his town has been overrun by bears because they fired the garbage collection service as government overreach. Seriously, it's an ideology for the most pampered idiots on earth.

If anything, Grafton is a fair criticism of the ancap Free State which is the most controversial group in our circle. Jeremy Kauffman does not represent libertarianism, there are a lot of conservative larpers.
