      Sadly, a lot of the QAnon types tried to co-opt the Libertarian party in the US due to being disassociated from the GOP. But those QAnon incels couldn’t be anymore non-Libertarian.

      Libertarians used to be made up of people who supported bodily autonomy, legalization of various drugs, reduced government powers, etc. But have lately been infiltrated by outcasted Republicans.

        Why is it that libertarianism seems to have a long history of primarily attracting white men? As a POC, libertarianism strikes me as one of the most ideologically selfish political philosophies that is the furthest thing to being conducive to solidarity. I damn sure don’t trust libertarians and I’ve seen TONS of racism in libertarian spaces/clubs online and in-person.

        There’s plenty of bastard racist, sexist and transphobic libertarians out there and it’s dismissive/inaccurate to chalk them all up as QAnon types.
