Why put quotations around “practitioners”? If you think that there is nothing wrong with the ethos of libertarianism, then practicing it equally would have no issue. If by “practitioners” you are referring to the auth-right, and the like that seem interested in misappropriating the Gadsden Flag, then why even bother putting them in the same category as libertarians when they are so obviously not? Don’t give them any such satisfaction, or wiggle room. They are not libertarians.
It’s because so many shitty repubs have jumped to calling themselves libertarians and then flying the Gadsden flag while having a punisher sticker and thin blue line all at once. Just like they co-opted the tea party during the Ron Paul days.
The Dems have the tankies though, don’t know which is worse though.

They are free to call themselves whatever they like, but that doesn’t make it factual, nor does it change the defintion of libertarianism, or the history, and true meaning of the Gadsden Flag.
Thats why they are called LOLbertarians.
Do you have any supportive argument for that statement? What do you specifically have against the idea of libertarianism?
I don’t think it’s the idea of libertarianism being derided here, so much as the “practitioners” of libertarianism.

Thus the quotes on “practitioners.”
What party do libertarian vote in the elections?
It is not my place to generalize people’s actions, or motives. I am only speaking to the idea of libertarianism itself.
No need to generalize. Who did you or your actual libertarian friends vote for?
Of what importance is this information?
