Problem is libertarians are all over the map and it was seen as edgy to be one. Then you have purists libertarians who try to out libertarian other libertarians. Now federal constitutional libertarians are cool and have a lot in common with conservatives minus drugs and military spending.
The oxymoron that is liberal-libertarians really makes no sense. They are soy boy drinking progressives with social issues and even worse hygiene.
Libertarians are the social justice warriors of the right.
In my experience the vast majority of vocal gung-ho Libertarians are millennial aged, not particularly successful at life, cultish and have bought into "blaming the system" for their personal failings. It also gives them a place to feel like they belong.
Whereas a leftist SJW claims their personal failings are due to racism or ism ism, a Libertarian claims it's because of gummint incompetence and taxes.
And somehow abolishing these things will magically fix their life problems.
They are also intellectually superior for figuring out the solution that the "normies" can't see.. notice how it works?
I have no use for these shitstains. I have about the same contempt for them I do for SJWs. Two sides of the same coin.
Grouping Libertarians with libertarians is no different from grouping liberals like Locke or the founding fathers with liberals like that fat purple-haired screeching lesbian. They may both identify under the same word but they define that word very differently.

Seems you're conflating small l libertarians with big L Libertarians.
Libertarian is all the same.
You can have libertarian ideas as a conservative. The minute you label yourself "a libertarian", you're as good as being a retard.
In the same way you can have progressive ideas. As soon as you label yourself "a progressive", you're a fat purple haired lesbian.
