Except for the group that wants zero taxes and uses words like “ephebophile” to explain why they should be able to purchase a 14 year old girl from her father. I don’t know why they think deregulating corporations will allow that, though.
Go outside, and then listen to the Silmarillion audiobook.
Touch the grass as you hear the tales of the Two Trees, sang into existence by Yavanna. Feel the sun warm your skin as you hear of Laurelin, and feel the cold light of the moon as you hear of Telperion. Do that and be free, full of the Bliss of Valinor!
Yeah, but “libertarian” is initially a loanword from french “libertaire”, which refers to anarchists and anarcho-communists, the right wing version came later. In the compass format, it refers to both ; and can be read as “anti-state”.
Well a hypothetical libertarian should only share a love of capitalism in general with conservatives, and should otherwise hate everything conservatives do.
Fwiw the term “libertarian” as used on these compasses is referring purely to the social scale, and not the economic one. So an American capital-L “Libertarian”* should be right-libertarian. But left-libertarians are also possible, being of the views “hey, everyone should have the resources to receive good healthcare, education, and a safe living space”, but also “people should be able to do what they want to their own bodies, so long as they aren’t impacting on others”.
* using it here strictly in its original conception, rather than in the modern sense of “far-right Republican trying to hide behind a friendlier sounding label”
Interesting to see authoritarian and libertarian as opposites given the GOP behaviour.
US libertarianism is basically “I want freedom to do what I want, and want limits put on others based on my own values”.

It makes more sense once you accept that they just want slavery back. Then you literally just buy the children.
Basically conservative libertarianism is fascism. If you don’t want to be tread on, you, yourself, mustn’t tread on others for that to work.

That’s pretty standard on all political compasses.
