Libertarianism is sort of a lifeless dogma; it doesn't account for people's natural tendency to practice tribalism and identity politics. White people have had that instinct largely beaten and shamed out of them.

That's what turned me off to it. It only works if you can either get every one to go along with it, or get the rest to gang up on the ones that will abuse it.

That's anarchism. Libertarian simply means less government. That's all.
