This became easy to predict about 15 years into the neoliberal project.

It’s the regime’s new economic paradigm.

    Nah, libertarians can be everything from the fucking gun-wielding nuts so common in the US to socialist libertarians or anarchists. OP used the word correctly and you are just wrong and a bit petty.

      Libertarians vote Republican, that’s all you need to know about them from a moral perspective. They’re not big promoters of actual human rights.

        I didn’t write much in the previous comment. You didn’t read or understand it. There ist more in the world than those shits you have in the US.

          That’s fair, I’ve never conversed with any Libertarians outside of the USA, however the specifics of USA and UK were given with the previous user as he specifically mentioned the socioeconomic policies of Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, and Alan Greenspan. Those were all examples of Libertarianism, and several were explicitly anti-Liberal such as Ronald Reagan who said “If fascism ever comes to America, it will come in the name of liberalism.”
