That’s because libertarianism, by and large, supports privilege and white supremacy. It’s always all about MY freedoms, which lockdowns impact but police violence does not. Scratch a libertarian, and all too often you will find a fascist underneath the veneer.https://twitter.com/B1Coyle/status/1332942452840402947 …
Funny, then, that so many who describe themselves as "libertarians" or "classical liberals" align themselves with Donald Trump. Next you'll be invoking the "no true Scotsman" fallacy, I predict.

What does that have to do with me or what I said? You don’t get to pull things out of your ass and then present it as reality.

Eric, I don’t think your an outstanding example of a libertarian who doesn’t hold reactionary or far right views based on the content you put out, my dude.

Are you...ascribing the characteristics of (anecdotal) individuals to a large and diverse group of people? I will give you a hint. You are.

If your definition of libertarianism is "look at the people who describe themselves as...", then you truly do not understand either libertarianism or fascism.

Donald Trump also isn't anything fucking close to resembling a libertarian. So pointing out the people that align themselves with him is irrelevant.

People can describe themselves as whatever they want. Don't make it true. I know a lot of "small gov't conservatives" who want a bigger gov't. Calling yourself a Libertarian doesn't make you Libertarian unless you live by the principles of the ideology
