Is Voat authoritarian? Can't you say whatever you want? Reddit is authoritarian. Libertarian left isn't possible

Libertarian left is basically hippies

Except hippies still push their beliefs on others and are basically communists. They rely on social manipulations to get handouts and their self-righteousness always comes with "saving the planet" at the cost of forced taxation. Which results in big government. That's not very libertarian at all.

Some are authoritarian hippies. But there's also anti-authoritarian hippies who are truly live-and-let-live. Those I would consider libertarian left. They do exist. They're just not the vocal people on TV so you rarely see them, because they're too busy minding their own business and living their life.

I'm sure their are but the entire left has been taken over and a libertarian hippy is as rare a duck-billed platypus.

I think you would be surprised if you really looked in to it how many left-libertarians there are
