    Libertarianism is a left wing ideology. It wasn’t till nearly the end of the century that right wing cosplayers started pretending to be libertarians. After most actual libertarians and leftists had been more or less forced into hiding. And couldn’t call you out.

    Right wing libertarianism isn’t a self consistent ideology. You’re against large overarching systems of authority. Apart from your pet system of overarching authority. Ooooooooookay.

    The reason fashy Republicans seem to be all that’s left in the libertarian party. Is that is what so called right libertarians have always been under it all. So concerned with their own privilege. They couldn’t be bothered to actually pursue guaranteeing societal freedom. Because it’s a threat to their privilege. Rather treating anyone who wasn’t born with the same resources, and able to achieve similar outcomes. As if it was a moral failing on their part. And inevitably, when faced with society trying to provide others more freedom and the means to make use of it. Turn authoritarian/fascist, surprise!
