I think what you are noticing is a broader shift in the libertarian community: people are noticing that an open libertarian society isn&#x27;t possible since most people aren&#x27;t libertarians but would like the material benefits that more libertarianish societies offer.<p>Many libertarians I know are now &quot;nationalist libertarians&quot;, opposed to large scale immigration, increasingly skeptical of international free trade, and so on.  A lot of ex-Ron Paul types are now Trump supporters.<p>To me, this seems like the political&#x2F;intellectual story of our time.  It isn&#x27;t happening in the mainstream media, of course, because libertarianism has never had the high ground there: you see it in the blogs and, of course, in the chans &amp; reddit.
