Those are pro-surveillance, pro-repair-prevention, pro-fascism.

Libertarianism is about your freedom to restrict others, if you are rich and powerful.

Whereas traditional Democrats and Republicans are all protecting privacy?

Thomas Massie is a wealthy libertarian and introduced a bill to protect privacy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch_network, he's part of it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Massie, it's just protecting self interest by deregulation.

recommend reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Money_(book) there's a netflicks documentary by the same name that is NOT a substitute for the book.

The millionaires libertarians consistently support republican party. They are the ones ahifting it to the right and towards fascism.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa. You can't just call everyone you disagree with a fascist.
I dont call "just anyone" I disagree with that. I call it a specific libertarian millionaires and republican party as is now. Because they fit the definition. And have fascist goals.

I disagree with many other people who dont happen to be like that.

How do they fit the definition? What specific fascist goals?

I don't have a strong bill into who you are or your expertise on the matter, so I have to question it, especially no credentials on the matter extending a "definitive answer" to the people involved.

Freedom to put whatever you want in the EULA.
