How do you know she wasn't a fascist, or communist? Do good commies know how to stand in lines, and do as they are told? If someone complains about a "lack of freedom", are they "branded" by you as libertarian? I don't remember reading any party platform plank in any party, in any State, on the freedom of theater seating.
It seems to be a rather bigoted inference, especially since you mean it as a slur.
She was exercising her rights of free speech to voice her opinion, perhaps in hearing of management. If not, she can choose in the future to vote with her pocket book, and avoid theaters who make you choose your seats at purchase time. It seems a more entitled democratic, or liberal position to me (I have the right to sit wherever I want). The libertarian would have reflected that as the theater was privately owned, the owner can negotiate freely their part of the transaction. In other words, it is their theater, and it is their rules. Perhaps it is really "entitlement" which is the disease?
Perhaps, though, this is just a colorful anecdote you can smugly snicker about with your comrades, distorting by example, to condemn those things with which you disagree? Is it really, merely, propaganda?
As News Media, if you want to discredit a political protest the first thing you do is find the most outrageous ham handed loud mouth, whose views are not only hateful, but full on crazy, then interview them as if they were representative of that mass of people. It is intellectually dishonest, as are your analysis and conclusions in this case.
She was just disgruntled with having to have assigned seating. It is not any commentary on the general state of any ideology.
