This is entirely correct if you define "white supremacist" to be "not Rooseveltist-DeLongist-Steinbaumist". Which was always the point, really. If you don't support a particular all-encompassing authoritarian project to destroy the moon, you're a filthy moon-supremacist.https://twitter.com/glenweyl/status/1079847465715679234 …

also tbf many, perhaps even most, US "libertarians" ... aren't, much. people like Nozick who endorsed reparations and took heat for it or the many who didn't do the convenient 180 on gun rights when it was the Black Panthers asserting theirs aren't quite the same category

overall I figure mainstream US conservatives are probably about as "libertarian" as mainstream US liberals are "socialist" (ie not very). & most of the ordinary people of any society are a little bit complicit in what the society's institutionally guilty of, but "only a little"

I mention them only bc I assume ppl who say stuff like "libertarians are white supremacists" must be including mainstream republicans who casually self-id as "libertarian", bc it's hard to picture anyone well-versed in how much more-complicated-than-that it is being that obtuse
