back in the day we just called this fascism

Hmm, sounds like a misnomer 🤔

I think what you’ve observed is libertarians waking up to the fact that communists aren’t going to simply leave them alone as they naively hoped and they’ve become right-wing. Surrender to Russia? We aren’t at war with them.

Damn... my anarchist collect must have not forwarded that memo to me.

I'm just over here wanting to End The Fed

Couldv sworn you said Liberals but than I got to the Russia part. Liberals love Uke nazis so I realized I misread.

Just checking how many 'Not a true Scotsman answers' you get.

I'm definitely not a libertarian (in either 'small L' or 'large L' sense of the word), but I think you're seeing the impact of all our news sources being captured by extremists and of the efforts of various national governments to control the narrative.

Just as an example, I see people in the US and UK saying that "we could house all the homeless if we had as much money as we've sent to Ukraine". Most of them are the same people who oppose spending money on programs that help re-house homeless people, so they're making that argument because it is convenient, not because they'd ever support doing it.
