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.
Polish libertarianism overlaps with monarchism and nazism much and for most of them libertarianism is just “something i like” while “everything i don’t like” is socialism.

I don’t think they’d object that hard if you explain what we mean by liberals
A lot of fascists call themselves “classical liberals” nowadays when the F word isn’t as acceptable.
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
