Most of us vote for the candidate that best upholds our interests no matter the letter on the lapel. In a FPtP system you are correct not much choice in the national elections, thats a feature of FPtP not a bug. Don't mistake us as having no consistnacy while we are forced to strategically vote instead of using a ranked choice.

Since 2020, the NH Libertarian party has received coverage in the press for controversial, far-right, and antisemitic statements made by its Twitter account. They got skunked, the old leaders were ousted and replaced from what I remember its a purposeful Russian backed psy op.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarianism_in_the_United_States

The major libertarian party in the United States is the Libertarian Party. However, libertarians are also represented within the Democratic and Republican parties while others are independent. Gallup found that voters who identify as libertarians ranged from 17 to 23% of the American electorate.

Libertarianism includes anarchist and libertarian socialist tendencies, although they are not as widespread as in other countries. Murray Bookchin,[25] a libertarian within this socialist tradition, argued that anarchists, libertarian socialists and the left should reclaim libertarian as a term, suggesting these other self-declared libertarians to rename themselves propertarians instead.[26][27] Although all libertarians oppose government intervention, there is a division between those anarchist or socialist libertarians as well as anarcho-capitalists such as Rothbard and David D. Friedman who adhere to the anti-state position, viewing the state as an unnecessary evil; minarchists such as Nozick who recognize the necessary need for a minimal state, often referred to as a night-watchman state;[28] and classical liberals who support a minimized small government[29][30][31] and a major reversal of the welfare state.[32]

Personally i'm pretty much center on the left right spectrum and firmly minarchist.

Oh, I'm certain you've heard of the dead internet theory. I believe in a modified version of it

I'd say it's starting to happen here too. Not as bad but it is starting.

If whoever you're talking to is openly engaging in behavior that encourages breaking of the nap, then yeah you're dealing with a non-libertarian. To put this in other terms, all the Christian denominations believe in Jesus. They believe different things about Jesus, but they all believe in this guy named Jesus. If some guy starts preaching about Bob the true Messiah and calling himself a Christian everybody's going to be very confused why he's calling himself a Christian.

Interesting. I was personally referring to my experiences with Reddit 10 years ago. And the violent pendulum swing I observed happening there when the mods of all the large libertarian groups got replaced all discussion was silenced. All nuance was removed and the marching orders were given and I turned my back on that place.
