It’s been clear to me for about 20 years that Libertarians have more in common with Liberals than they do with Conservatives.

I believe you are referring to their shared arrogance.

Arrogance in dealing with lesser mortals, yes. But also, both Liberals and Libertarians seem to think that human nature, in it's raw form, is benevolent. Human nature is flawed. All of society will suffer unless some control is exerted over certain damaging behaviors.

Coercion is not something I like, but a world with no coercion would be an ugly world. "Do as thou wilt" sounds appealing to some but it's a recipe for disaster.
