When she’s not busy fantasizing about libertarian crypto-based UBI schemes or propping up the patriarchy, she’s writing wearying odes to transhumanism and longtermism. Truly the voice of a generation.

IIRC the association between libertarianism and conservatism is somewhat recent? Wikipedia is saying libertarianism was born out of left wing politics.
That being said the treacles libertarianism is not that at all.
@swlabr If by ‘recent’ you mean ‘since the foundation of the Libertarian Party’. Libertarians were all-in for Reagan, their poster boy Ron Paul caucused with the GOP, etc etc etc.
Yes that’s more or less what I meant. I am not a pro historian or anything but libertarianism pre-dates the libertarian party. My understanding is that the origins of libertarianism only bear a passing resemblance to the modern formulation.
(If it is sounding like I am defending libertarianism just fucking kill me)
Rothbard deliberately and consciously stole the term from anarchists for his new right-wing version, anarchocapitalism.
