Slightly disappointed that you didn’t use the libertarian horn upon the first mention of “libertarian” but made me wait till Reason Magazine was mentioned.

Right wing + left wing = same stupid bird.

A practical distinction to apply between “left” and “right” is, simply, they implement coercion differently. (There is debate on what that chart might look like — maybe like a snake swallowing its own tail.) Plainly framing that duality avoids the complex issues of motives which can be compared by some other political metric?

Liberty means civil individualism supersedes the civil plurality. On the “libertarian” question, a simple practical way to define might be as, “one seeking the re-criminalization of usury.”
