    An incomplete list:

    Leftism

    • structural racism/sexism/etc. exists and is a serious problem that needs to be addressed
    • police as a concept needs to be completely rethought
    • we should tax the rich and give to the poor
    • free healthcare, maybe UBI even
    • The U.S. needs to stop interfering in the political systems of other countries

    Libertarianism:

    • Privacy should be a human right
    • The DMCA is a disaster, DRM is evil, and copyright terms are way too long
    • AOCapitulator [they/them, she/her]

      Those two things you put under libertarianism are rather leftist, and not very libertarian as they actually practice their beliefs, see Milei

        Fair enough. So maybe I'm only 4% libertarian :)

        My gut response when those things are challenged is "but muh freedom!" so it certainly feels libertarian.

        Also, the left-of-liberal party in my country (NDP) disagrees with me on these matters.
