    Probably 99% of self described libertarians don’t know anything about that, or actual libertarian rhetoric in general, they just want to smoke weed and not pay taxes for stuff that doesn’t personally benefit them and they think that’s what libertarianism is

      Now that lemmy is overflowing with liberals - people who get their ideas of what political concepts actually mean from CNN and “Law & Order” reruns - I am constantly having to deal with people who don’t know where the ideologies they cling to come from. or even means in reality.

      So I guess these (supposed) “libertarians” isn’t alone in that regard.
