I consider myself liberal and it's not about my own freedoms (though I guess I'd like that too) but those of others. Believing others have a right to be non-binary as an easy example, or believe whatever they choose. I don't believe corporations in particular have a right to authority over the individual. Isn't that considered liberal?

Libertarians don't believe (or want) those kinds of rights, they mostly just want to be free to be assholes, and to not pay taxes.

The liberty of libertarians is NOT just a more radical version of the liberty of liberals.

👆 This encapsulates well 99% of German libertarians (and probably worldwide)
