    It’s not really about true freedom or liberty.

    I think the terms that you are instead looking for are positive and negative liberty. Libertarianism, generally, aligns with negative liberty. Universal healthcare is an example of positive liberty.

    And in the US anyway, it’s largely just facade co-opted by the fascist [authoritarian and wealthy] right wing, ironically.

    An unfortunate outcome that should be resisted.

      That categorization is really helpful for understanding this mindset, thanks!
