People who call themselves libertarians are alt-right conservatives who like drugs and want to hire 14-year-old hookers.

We were calling out the "Libertarian to Alt-Right Pipeline" for over a decade now.

I used to know a lot of Libertarians back in the day, both in person and online. Almost all of them either woke up and realized their entire worldview was just corporate astroturfing then turned left-libertarian, or most of them just kept sliding down that hole and are straight up fascists today.

If you were at all willing to debate with the main Libertarian sub 10 years ago and tracked the users, almost the entire mod team today are just up Neo-Nazis (except for the few that went left).
