it is not that simple. But I'm glad you are slipping into some libertarian exit from liberalism. That is part of the necessary journey.
But no...what is your 'individual' business or not isn't even part of the problem. That is just a way for you to attempt to escape from politics because perhaps the hard questions are too difficult for you.
The fact is that when humans come together to form a society they must address what will make themselves thrive or fail. What will be permitted in that society...what will be incentivized and disincentivized is of critical importance....because it will all ultimately impact how well the society functions...
and that is basically a sort of collective game theory strategy that addresses the environmental circumstances. You can actually turn it into a massive math problem that takes into account real biological instincts that humans have and the likely outcome of permitted and not permitted behavior.
That is perhaps a more difficult problem. To address than being able to do arbitrarily ethics based libertarian handwaving...but it is also far more useful..
