Right, this is the part that Libertarians fail to grasp. Liberty comes with responsibility, and responsibility breeds liberty.

In some cultures there is enough civic engagement that they can mostly be trusted to build sheds which don't become oil soaked termite nests after a few years. People take that responsibility seriously so they have more freedom. In the US, the attitude is almost exclusively the purview of childish edgelords who don't care that their behavior impacts others, which is precisely what breeds the need for dumb regulations. The regulations for building a shed are exactly as dumb as the people building sheds.
