    I don’t really consider libertarianism to be something you should be proud of,

      Depends if you’re a libertarian or a “libertarian”

      Most people who claim to be libertarian are just conservatives wearing a mask

      True libertarians aren’t as prevalent, and often get confused with anarchists

        What is the difference between Libertarian and anarchist in your mind? From my knowledge, Libertarian is a term coined because anarchists were persecuted

          In the most basic terms, I’d say anarchists want no state whereas libertarians are okay with a little bit of state

      Do you perchance live in the US? In other parts of the world libertarianism is a normal political ideology that opposed authoritarianism.

        No, but I do live in an english-speaking country that imports a lot of it’s meanings behind ideologies from the US.

          Ah, that’s understandable. From what I’ve heard about US “libertarians”, it’s definitely nothing to be proud of.
