I get hung up on the Grand Narrative thing too. Think I get what you're saying. ancaps depends on everyone respecting NAP like ancoms depend on everyone respecting class consciousness?

Yes exactly. If a big enough percentage of the population is immoral your "freedom" is going to be a walled compound with you working your ass off to grow your own food. Freedom baby!

With the set up in the videos I linked, if you want protection from more obscure ‘immoralities’ (like people can’t eat meat) you have to pay for it.

If you think about all value/energy flows in society, the more you divert to regulating morality the less there is for moving society forward.

Many great divisions between people have been reduced. It used to be people mostly interacted with others of the same religion, class, race, and government.

Part of the issue here is assuming everyone will have the same laws. People today interact with different laws (traveling to a different country).

But without government these mostly useless, intrusive regulations are costly to implement. Who wants to actually pay (their own money) to prevent others from petty action?

You have to consider the costs of regulating this morality. Current government makes it easy to be in another persons business. Many regulations created (eg pronouns).

Yes this is true. But morality has different definitions to different people. Vegans might call meat eaters immoral.
