it's not about the word "libertarian". its about the flag (in combination with the word). the flag was not coopted to be a right libertarian thing, it has always been. you cant reclaim that. if you want to reclaim the word "libertarian" it's probably smarter to disassociate it from right libertarian symbolism

you understand how this is absolutely silly, right?

the equivalent to your situation is not calling all socialists nazis, because "see nazis had 'socialist' in their name".

an equivalant would be to assume that someone who calls themselves a communist, and uses the flag of the soviet union or china, is indeed authoritarian (or maybe just very misinformed or edgy?), when they really are their own new kind of communist, who rejects all other communists and who uses the flag and name because they "just like the aestetic" and want to "reclaim it from the authoritarians".

i think it should be clear how the assumtion is in one case unjustified and either born out of ignorance or malice, and in the other case the only possible assumtion to make, untill the communist in question provides additional information.

now consider that many here probably experiance right libertarians a threat to their own safety and freedom, in their actual lives, and you might understand why they might not give people using the symbolism of right libertarianism much benefit of the doubt.

i think if u try to single person (re)claim a flag (and a label, which in combination with the flag) is otherwise uniquely used by people on the right, on a spectrum from misguieded, to anti-social, to fascist, i don't oppose you trying, but you have to expect that most people will assume you associate yourself with the ideology these symbols commonly belong to (since that is usually the reason people use them) and that you will get backlash in anti-authoritarian spaces, like a rightist who is trying to invade them would.

you can't even compare this to hammer and sickle, because those are at least not exclusively used by cunts, but actually by a wide spectrum from authoritarian cunts to adherents of more libertairian ideologies (like council communism). here the assumption that someone who uses them must be a tankie is far more unfounded and worthy of criticism than in your case, i believe.

what i am trying to say is, it seems to me like you are setting yourself up for being misjuged, and i'd don't think you can blame anyone but yourself for it. you picked this hill yourself, and you should know by now where it positioned you. good luck

i dont mean this as an offence.

if you don't want to do it in general, you should also not do it to horrible people. same way you would probably still not misgender a trans person, even if they are horrible.
