It is not, ancap thought is perfectly compatible with a privatized police force and white supremacy (Murray Rothbard literally was one). And the Gadsden flag is commonly understood as being against state interference, not other forms of oppression.
Edit: and while I agree that it seems like an odd combination, there are really plenty libertarians out there who think they need to buy out /bribe the local police force to get them on their side should things go their way.
There is a cop, in my city, who has a gadsden flag, blue line flag, and a gold/black ancap flag, on his porch. He also has nazi appropriated norse symbolism tattooed on his arms. These people exist, he is a walking joke, like I would have thought this was some sort of trolling, if I didn’t know he was risking his job over the tatts. He eventually deleted his facebook, and nextdoor, profiles because of how badly he was being made fun of over it, once someone dropped a link to his profile on reddit. He was worried he might lose his job if all that stayed up. He did, eventually get fired, but it had to do with something other than his suspicious tatts, and hypocritical beliefs.

Are you referring to a private police force because of the mention of the Thin Blue Line flag?
ancap thought is perfectly compatible with […] white supremacy
It depends what you mean by “perfectly compatible”. An ancap would believe that the state shouldn’t be able to prevent a person from being a white supremacist.
And the Gadsden flag is commonly understood as being against state interference, not other forms of oppression.
I agree. Perhaps my previous comment was lacking in clarity.

I would be hesitant to refer to such an individual as a libertarian. At the very least, not without further information.
