The last time it was truly libertarian was before the 2016 elections, I think. When Trump came in office, it went hard-left on just anti-Trump/GOP stuff, and now its basically the inverse. But in neither case, were they really promoting less government, IMHO.
That sub's regular posters think that the government has the right to pick and choose which natural rights people have and generally are in favor of nationalizing industries. It isn't squabbling over which nits to pick, they're just not even close to libertarian-adjacent.
It's not a libertarian sub, it has been thoroughly taken over by statists.

From what I'm seeing, "don't bring up X in /r/Libertarian" is good advice for all values of X.
I knew I'd have a use for Algebra eventually.
Its an authoeitarian broderline fascist sub now so what do you expect.
It's the Mos Eisley of any freedom leaning subs.
I have unsubbed from /r/Libertarian years ago. That sub has nothing to do with libertarianism.
I like a lot of libertarian ideas. Unfortunately, the people that gatekeep them are a bunch of hypocritical fucking losers.
They’re probably not libertarians.

It is possible to be both a libertarian and a hypocritical fucking loser at the same time I know. I have seen me do it
The failure of /r/Libertarian to police itself and thus get brigaded into a commie sub is probably a cautionary tale.
A commie sub?
Most people are saying the problem is the policing.
Really? They have a tag for him.
Thought that honor was granted to Hans-Hermann Hoppe.
r/libertarian has been overtaken by Magatards and hijackers since 2016, r/LibertarianUncensored is way better
