No one is living 100% to ideological perfection. It's a spectrum. Some are a lot closer than others. I've definitely met some ascetic non-judgemental types.
I agree with you, but you will get shut down because it hurts the narrative. Those terms will be called "dog whistles" or something stupid like that.
The concept of cultural appropriation is mostly bullshit. Almost every single behavior and action every person takes is richly informed by multiple cultures, whether it language, clothes, food, or beliefs.
I think the term only makes sense if it's done in a disrespectful way, e.g. cracking a joke or wearing a sacred ceremonial headress to a frat party.
But otherwise no culture "owns" any behavior or idea.
So even back in the early 90s when I dabbled in Libertarianism, people had a more nuanced take here, in that shared resources like water and air that crossed land boundaries would be protected by law. For instance you could do a class action lawsuit against the person damaging your air and water. But no one is that nuanced now.
Most "libertarians" are this dumb, but the old school ones at least attribute the problems to uneven regulation rigged in favor of the ruling class, which does jive with my understanding of what is wrong with the financial system. That being said, libertarianism wouldn't work even if they did get shit straight.
