Exactly this. And even when I do use the term libertarian. I make sure to express little l versus Big L Libertarianism explicitly. Big L Libertarianism is simply a noun randomly applied to something. And doesn’t mean anything more than the people in charge want it to mean. Like big C Communism versus little c communism. Totally different things.
Hell the man who coined the term and defined libertarianism. Explicitly fought against most of the type who profess to be big L Libertarians today.
That’s simply not true. I’m not a large, and therefore don’t pretend to live in a system I don’t. This is the system that I live in, and I have to do everything possible to reduce harm to others, which includes voting. Maybe try educating yourself?
Is there another kind?
Yes, and we call ourselves Anarchists or left libertarians because the right specifically and intentionally stole that term

Used to be. Now the only halfway decent libertarians label themselves anarchists.
Yeah. All jokes aside but USian Libertarians are different to, for example, European Libertarians.
Being “socially liberal” has different parameters outside the US.
