      It seems that at the highest level libertarianism has been co-opted with might makes right sensibilities. Which unsurprisingly correlated with "libertarians" who suddenly found themselves with a lot of disposable income...

        Nothing strange about it. "Liberty" is a euphemism for unaccountability, and libertarianism, probed with steel, advocates only that business must be above the law. Most predictable ever.

          How about the strange death of all ideological 'isms?

          They may look good on paper but they all fail in the real world. Anything practical ends up being a mixture of ideologies --- some shade of gray rather than strictly black and white.

          Thou shall not kill --- except.
