In my experience libertarian is synonyms with a person who has yet to gaIn the prospective required to understand the societal structures have have enabled basically everything in their life, right down to their very existence.
Any thinking person who seeks a base level understanding of how they have acquired anything they have physical or intangible would clearly understand how flawed libertarianism is conceptually, you are not self made, nothing you have exists without a social society, I know this for a fact, because you area modern human using the internet.
Also libertarianism is historically pretty heavily linked to authoritarianism, because it is an excuse for the wealthy and powerful to absolve themselves of the social responsibility that comes from reaping the benefits of society at the highest level. Once the rehtoric only goes so far, or you find yourself needing to govern that society with your libertarian ideals, you find the only way to square the circle is to put those damn people who expect you to contribute to social society in exchange for all of those things society does for you in their place.
