    Yeah… The silliness was the literal point.

    Actually it’s a 1:1 comparison

    The word “socialism” was co-opted The word “libertarian” was co-opted

    If you assume all libertarians must be those who co-opted the term, then I assume all socialists are those who co-opted the term.

    But whatever. Echo chamber going to echo.

      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
