Historically, "libertarian" was a synonym for anarchism or the libertarian branch of socialism. In most places it is still used that way, and even in the United States where right-wing liberalism has appropriated the "libertarian" label to an extent that older sense is also still used. The first "libertarian" was Joseph Dejacque an early communist anarchist who used the word to circumvent anti-sedition laws in France which prohibited the use of "anarchist." |
The right-wing libertarian is new term to Neo-feudalism

Pretty much. "Neofeudalism with extra steps" is the best way to describe it.

Again, not authoritarian by the political definition. This is about politics, not sociology or philosophy. If you want to take it broader I could even say my hobbies are authoritarian because I would literally die from depression if I didn't have them, so they are commanding me to do them. |
I think it is by the political definition. Economics and Politics are linked very closely

Yes, but a corporation is not a government and has exactly zero authority. Not over politics or over people. Authority is given, not implied. No one has given authority to corporations and a singular corporation is not needed to govern and can be easily replaced. A governing body is different.
Please don't try to take this further. This is simply about the definition of authoritarianism. I'm not really in the mood to philosophize what authority is.

No explanation needed. We only need this high level quote from a man with high level ideas.

Oh I know that it is (traditionally), but I feel like that is starting to shift. I don't believe that the intollerance towards free speech on 'the left' is already too problematic, but I do feel like it's gradually getting worse and it could get pretty bad in the future. |
Parler getting booted off the internet entirely recently certainly got my attention. You could use the same rationales companies put out behind that collective decision to also justify kicking everything from Twitter to YouTube and Facebook and beyond off the internet too. Parler isn't the kind of place where I'd hang out and it was used to organize a riot where five people died. Facebook has been used, among other things, to help facilitate a full-scale genocide by the government of Myanmar but it wasn't expelled from the internet as a result.
about what I expected.
Apparently Im a "pacifists and anti-war", and very liberal when it comes to culture wars.
