Libertarianism is usually described as the belief that each individual should have the right to live his life as he sees fit so long as he doesn’t damage the rights of others. I often refer to reactionaries as “faux libertarians.” Why is that?
Because their beliefs and behavior conflict with the definition in three ways. First, the predominantly white Christian reactionaries identify as an oppressed group, not as a collection of separate individuals. Second, they clearly assert the right to damage the interests of others, as evidenced by their refusal to wear masks, get vaccinated, and drive with any sense of courtesy. Finally, the “freedoms” that they value most highly are the “freedom” to oppress historically disadvantaged groups and the “freedom” to avoid being offended by people they dislike. Don’t like the gay pride parade in your town? Use the government to ban it, of course!
Faux libertarianism is about power, not freedom. That’s why reactionaries love Trump so much; he believes in nothing except his own personal awesomeness, winning, and power.
