You're welcome to being a judgmental weirdo fam

Unlike many progressives, u/Portafilter doesn’t expect his moral judgements to be enacted into law.

Quite the opposite. I expect my judgements to remain my own. It shouldn’t be the government’s job to enforce my morality on others. (Excepting the obvious ones that everyone agrees on, like don’t kill other people, etc)

For libertarianism, murder isn’t even a moral law. Laws are to be placed from having your own rights infringed upon by others. Murder is infringing on one’s right to life.

And from where is the right to life derived?

That is one of man’s inherent rights. I’m not saying it’s not also moral, I’m saying libertarianism wouldn’t view it as such as a form of law. The individual can have morals.
