This. Freedoms aren't always about individualism. But this goes back to liberty as I was saying. Being free in the libertarian sense isn't singular, it's collective. Individual freedoms and rights should not impede on the individual freedoms and rights of others. When you strike that balance of liberty for all against the whims of other citizens and the oppression of the government, then you have the freedom that you hear us demanding.
