True, this is a lousy article that doesn't prove its claim. Dougherty's examples don't fit together very well with his main point or with each other.

But there have been people who moved from libertarianism or quasi-libertarian isolationism to Holocaust denial to something close to fascism or Nazism, or from libertarianism to neo-Confederatism to racism, so he's not entirely wrong.

Somebody else would have done a better job making the argument, but they'd do better to figure out just what was going on with this Jason Kessler dude. He was never a libertarian, so far as I know.

I am going to use this author’s logic to create my own theory:

Libertarians are fringe ideology, not accepted by the main-stream. Because I was in a Lutheran church for 15 years and some of them are my spiritual friends, I don’t want them to think I am insulting them even when I really am.

Flat-earthers, who wear khaki pants and often eat cheese, deny the moon landings. Some may believe the moon is made of cheese They too are a fringe ideology

Because there are self-proclaimed neo nazis like Christopher Cantwell, Richard Spencer who are also fringe ideologies - we can therefore state that Libertarians, who also often eat cheese, are neo-nazis who don’t believe in the moon-landings
