Yep. The worse circumstance is when a lunatic champions a legitimate cause be it technological authoritarianism, the absurd concentration of corporate power, or income inequality.

It's worth remembering that "libertarian writers" advanced deregulation and climate change denial tropes for decades, and "libertarianism" is itself a billionaire-manufactured and -evangelized sock puppet ideological religion concocted with the help and credibility of Laissez-faire, pro-corporate economists and riding the coattails of a philosophically-bankrupt fiction writer who makes the irrational leap that reality (to a human observer) can ever be a known, unbiased, and concrete certainty.
