From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Sadly, a lot of the QAnon types tried to co-opt the Libertarian party in the US due to being disassociated from the GOP. But those QAnon incels couldn't be anymore non-Libertarian.

Libertarians used to be made up of people who supported bodily autonomy, legalization of various drugs, reduced government powers, etc. But have lately been infiltrated by outcasted Republicans.

Why is it that libertarianism seems to have a long history of primarily attracting white men? As a POC, libertarianism strikes me as one of the most ideologically selfish political philosophies that is the furthest thing to being conducive to solidarity. I damn sure don't trust libertarians and I've seen TONS of racism in libertarian spaces/clubs online and in-person.

There's plenty of bastard racist, sexist and transphobic libertarians out there and it's dismissive/inaccurate to chalk them all up as QAnon types.
