I see a lot of “libertarians” on HN and SV in general.

Edit: Ok now I am getting downvoted because I called them libertarians when they’re libertarians.

They call themselves "libertarians" while being, in fact, quite authoritarian. Libertarians support criminal justice reform, including reducing the power of police.

Libertarianism changed a great deal in America in the past 20 years. It’s not what it used to be and has been usurped by the right wing and corporate types.
