Similar path, but with a more classical libertarian bent (not the bullshit republican that lives weed and is fixated age of consent stuff thankfully). Hard left turn after being disengaged third party about 10 years ago.
I had a bit of a libertarian phase. It really did just take a moment to really think about the ideas and realize how silly they ultimately are. It does not help that even at their best their outcomes favor the wealthy.
For sure. Tho I am from Texas so most of the Libertarians I learned about were more of the Right Libertarians. Typically some kind of anarcho capitalist. Which has all of the unsavory aspects of not helping anyone and strange “honor” system that no one is going to swoop in and dominate to rebuild our current system (because why would you not)

Am now old and get more radicalized by the day.

Agreed. While mutual aid is a wonderful idea (and practice), we need a robust functioning government for all sorts of infrastructure and support.
