One naysayer self describes as a “Semi-professional prediction market trader, anarchist”, which is a new one for me.

That’s newspeak for libertarian.

They have been working on fully coopting the term anarchist for a while. Dropping the “cap” from ancap and abusing it the same way fascists abused the word socialism.

It’s funny because from what I remember “Libertarian” was the OG term for Anarchists in Europe and Anarchist became popular later. And the American Libertarians are these bizarre cursed mutants that coopted the name at some point in the first half of the 20th and have been trying to convince people that no really we’re definitely real anarchists since then.
