 not sure he made the distinction. not sure there is a distinction but as you made the distinction i thought to ask? 
 Ok. Mike actually introduced the term Liberal into the debate, which I never did. Libertarian is a rather archaic term which has rather fallen out of favour of late, I don't suppose there has been much difference in it's meaning from then as now but I suppose "An-Cap" would be it's equivalent in modern parlance🤷🏻‍♂️. That's on an economic level but also on a socio-level as it doesn't have an equivalent. A libertarian is a libertarian, not a liberal.  
 ive always been told im an old soul but im a new libertarian in the scheme of things. for example i like much of what erik voorhees has to offer

in some cases the new school or new version of a thing is indeed worse - like music, the big mac, and coca cola. 

but in other cases the comparison is made by folks with more grey to put down those around them. i dont think you meant this but adding the old school identifier in the context of your message implied as much. 

i cant speak to what mike said about the history of the liberal label but i dont see there being a difference in old vs new school 
 I'm an old soul too Squire, the Libetarian/Liberal thing is a bit of a misnomer, though they are loosely related. I'll leave it there but it's been an interesting debate amongst all 3. That's what I like about #Nostr, there are very few, if any "Dick-Heads" and a good debate is generally to be had. Have a great day, the two of you. Namastè.
