I’m of the opinion there’s like 5 genuine libertarians in the country and the other “libertarians” are all either idiots or closet fascists

Historically libertarianism has been a left-wing project, right-wing “libertarianism” is a more recent invention that the bourgeois class propagandizes very hard to convince you is the only true libertarianism because it defines liberty loosely as “the absence of restriction”, most notably restrictions against coercion and exploitation of fellow-citizens.

In a traditional American politics belief it’s probably bc both [are supposed to] support small government. Lots of libertarians are under the impression social welfare shouldn’t come from a government but instead the community, and since a majority of leftist talking point is nationalized social welfare it’s a turn off. That and far left being anti private property is a huge turn off. That and anything other than capitalism is seen as a personal rights infringement
