I'm definitely not a libertarian (in either 'small L' or 'large L' sense of the word), but I think you're seeing the impact of all our news sources being captured by extremists and of the efforts of various national governments to control the narrative.

Just as an example, I see people in the US and UK saying that "we could house all the homeless if we had as much money as we've sent to Ukraine". Most of them are the same people who oppose spending money on programs that help re-house homeless people, so they're making that argument because it is convenient, not because they'd ever support doing it.
