Their maximum relevance for society is getting 3% of the votes, and tell me why my generalization was faulty.

By "local maximum of societal relevance" I wasn't talking in terms of absolute proportional vote, but instead of how germane the philosophy is to modern political discourse.

tell me why my generalization was faulty

You are making a hasty generalization. Based on how I interpret it, you are generalizing that a group of people calling themselves libertarians who satisfy your two examples -- namely "rich entitled pricks", and "conservatives that like to do drugs" -- are a satisfactory representation of the entirety of those who call themselves libertarians. If a single person makes a claim contrary to your statement, then it will immediately falsify it. You provide no evidence to refute the possibility those who fall into categories other than the examples that you gave who also self-label as libertarian.

As an aside, your statement "they are either rich entitled pricks or conservatives that like to do drugs" does nothing to support your claim of libertarians being irrelevant.
