It is obvious that in the current political climate, the far right is a *much* larger and graver threat to liberty, prosperity, and peace than the far left. But the contemporary libertarian movement has long built its brand around believing and arguing the opposite, and so even when they're not transparently downplaying the threat from the right, particularly the populist right, they're engaging in disingenuous bothsides-ing. This makes them far less effective in actually defending liberty.
