No idea about american libertarians (though considering the meaning of the word “liberal” in USA ther they will probably protest) but if you call polish libertarian “liberal” they will either get mad for comparing them to those “socialists” from PO or you will hear a long word salad about true libertarianism etc.

I’ve found it way more entertaining to call them conservatives. After they get pissy about that I call them liberal.
They’re definitely a mixed bag of takes — some are based, and some are unhinged

Yeah, but explaining it is easy — just say you meant classical liberalism which is what libertarianism literally is
