> anything Libertarian, (which is labeled "far-right" now)

US Capital-“L” Libertarians tend to be solid-to-far right as well as libertarian, but, no, genuine center- and left-libertarian isn't usually called far-right by anyone.

Also, right-libertarians are a pretty big segment of the HN community, possibly more dominant than anything on the left.

Uh, personalities like Joe Rogan and Tim Pool have been called far-right[0], then there are also secular muslims who get called "anti-muslim extremists" by SPLC[1]. So unless you want to claim that these aren't "true scotsmen", there are most certainly people who get called far-right, who are anything but.
