    the word libertarian literally does mean what I’m telling you though . What your experiencing is that your personal definition is not matching up with everyone else’s reality. You’ve just been misinformed and have only been exposed to a subset of libertarian ideals . To put this in an analogy it’s like if I said truck and you assumed I was talking about a Ford F-350 when in fact I’m referring to all trucks. From tiny k trucks to 18 wheeler big rigs

      No, what I’m experiencing is the conventional meaning of the term as used by people in normal language not matching up with a technical definition that you favour. It’s fine that you prefer to use the word that way, you just can’t expect everyone else to

        Lol at that person’s reply: “No, but the chart says it’s true!”

        These people have some desperate need for neat little boxes, each with their own designation, to put themselves and others into, and that’s just not how the world works.

          Lol, most of the axis didn’t even have labels. The reductionism is obviously silly, but presenting the classic 2D model as if that was actually how words are used is genuinely hilarious

            I’m not glad you think it’s funny that you were not properly educated in political terminology and political science.

            :(

            your teachers failed you.
