    Modern right-libertarians are just the right-wing of liberalism taken to their most extreme, specifically in their propertarianism, especially in a settler colonial society like U.S, Australia, Northern Ireland, and Israel…

    I call them right libertarians because the term “libertarian” has been co-opted to hell by them

    “One gratifying aspect of our rise to some prominence is that, for the first time in my memory, we, ‘our side,’ had captured a crucial word from the enemy . . . ‘Libertarians’ . . . had long been simply a polite word for left-wing anarchists, that is for anti-private property anarchists, either of the communist or syndicalist variety. But now we had taken it over…”

      Absolutely I understand that the broader political definition of libertarian is not what it’s been co-opted to be in North America.

      Here it is inextricably linked to the most insane rhetoric, used only the brainwash people into voting against their interest.

      I sometimes like to read Rothbard’s The Betrayal of the American Right just to laugh at him.

      What did you think would happen, you slavery-defending doofus? All the real libertarians warned you.
