      That guy in particular called himself a left-libertarian (not kidding see his other tweets in that thread).

      self-identified neoliberals on the internet

      There’s at my a few thousand of those, they just get signal boosted a lot cuz interest groups on The Hill like them.

          Another point is half of them admit they’re using the label inaccurately and they’re doing it to “trigger” us.

          Really they’re just moderate libertarians. They support some state intervention in the market but only when it’s the most uncontroversial shit that won’t hard business interests at all. Also unlike most libertarians they’re mostly genuine in their support for socially progressive policy like gay marriage or whatever, they just want to make sure it’s implemented in the slowest possible way cuz doing anything too quickly is populism.
