That's simply not true, or even defensible.
In regard to freedom of speech, libertarians do not argue for the right to use slurs without consequence. They are argue for the right to use slurs, and then they argue for the right of people who'll deliver consequences for such slurs to do so. Libertarians are some of the staunchest defenders of the principle that platforms can do as they like to people who choose to post on them. Cancellation is just the market doing what the market wants to do.
It's right wingers who want the right to use slurs and face no consequences.
