Most of the people on the Libertarian sub aren’t even lib left. Most of them are auth left larping as lib left.
IMO, lib left is hardly libertarian at all to begin with. Almost entirely counterintuitive, since our founding principles laid out the groundwork for true liberty from government. To try to take those principles and blend them with today’s version of progressivism contradicts much of of the freedom libertarianism stands for.
Arguing that perspective on any lib sub on Reddit is like talking to a wall, though. 80% are authoritarian larps and 19% are anarcho-libs who live in the same type of fantasy land as commies, believing their totally-government-free pipe dream is remotely realistic.
anytime i say anything on the libertarian subreddit i get downvoted to shit, they only want left libs

Yep. I tell people I'm essentially a libertarian but fuck the party. The moment I saw anything about open borders I was like nah this is lefty lite
There is no libertarian forum on that chicom shithole.
