I've been making these arguments in fragments across social media. I figured it needed a more long-form take. https://medium.com/@mike.brock/the-libertarian-to-fascist-pipeline-30558ce03c92

I’m going to give this a read when I get home, but I’m gonna give a hot take before I do because fuck it I guess
Libertarianism and fascism are both “let’s use our masculine reason and brains to organize society”. One is obviously “let’s leave people alone” and the other is “let’s control people”
On the liberal side you have “let’s use our feminine feelings and emotion to organize society” and then there’s the spectrum of “live and let live” to “control everyone else”
We oscillate between these extremes because none of them is entirely correct at all times in all places
Anyway, looking forward to reading your piece and seeing if and how much my thinking changes 🤝
