Being opposed to Banksters and government cops abusing the elderly by violently enforcing government mask mandates as part of year-long dystopian lockdown measures does not somehow make me not a libertarian.
Even stripped of that important context, libertarians do not have to like and defend every action by a private business. Thats a misrepresentation.
Thor with the dishonest and nuance-free bad takes like usual.
Literally you defend businesses right to exclude people from their business for any reason.
If a business does not want to associate with this woman why are they not within their right to remove her from their property if she refuses to leave?

I agree there is that element to the story, but as I have explained and will explain further its more complicated than that.
-Ridiculous Mask mandates as a result of government policies.
-Government created and subsidized Bank cartels unilaterally changing their terms to bar people from withdrawing their funds and closing their account.
-Agents of the state abusing and arresting elderly women at the behest of banksters.
None of this is ideal from a libertarian and human perspective.
Like I was saying, I can strongly disagree with actions of so-called private businesses and dislike some aspects of the story.
""It'S a PrIvAtE bUsInEsS" lacks any and all nuance.
We are 100% in support of private property rights but that doesn't mean we can't criticize private companies over their decisions. " -Libertarian Party of Kentucky
"It's a private company, yes. That doesn't mean I can't criticize their business practices and push for them to make changes. That doesn't mean I won't fight them to not censor views i disagree with. They can refuse. And I have a right to complain." - former LP presidential candidate Austin Petersen
I love how you apply this nuance to anti-maskers, but refuse to apply this nuance to literally any other case you've been asked over the years where it was a private business excluding people.
You didn't bring up government discrimination of gay people when the gay cake fiasco happened, you didn't bring up government enforced discrimination when asked about businesses excluding minorities.
Yet now you're full of nuance when it comes to somebody being refused to wear a mask.
You are a hack who refuses to apply your own principles when it's inconvenient. Nuace to you isn't something you use to make your opinion, as much as it's a weapon you try to use to bludgeon people rightly pointing out your hypocrisy.
