Why? Anyone who stands beside a Nazi flag is not a libertarian by any stretch of the term’s usage. (For clarity, by “stands beside” I mean anyone who advocates its symbolism.)

Part of it is that American libertarianism is a Republican who wants to smoke weed.

As for these specific Nazis, they want the government to stop arresting them when they indulge in their violent hatred of minorities.

They see equality as oppression. Which is also part of the main Republican mindset.

Imo, this is opposite of what the Gadsden flag represents. It’s a symbol of the resistance to authoritative oppression. I suppose the logic is that these types use it as a symbol of their resistance to the government preventing them from oppressing others 🤮. I suppose if one were to be absolutely accurate, though, the Gadsden flag isn’t a symbol of libertarianism, but, rather, libertarianism supports the symbolism of the Gadsden flag.
