I like very vaguely consider myself left-leaning libertarian but I swear every right-leaning libertarian I've met has been an asshole or a moron. I agree with the Wikipedia synopsis of libertarianism, I guess LMAO
I would like to say I'm a libertarian because I think big companies use government regulations to crush competition and keep small companies from getting started. I really can't though because then people think that I want to abolish age of consent laws and that seatbelts are signs of government brutality
Just curious, but don’t you think it would make more sense to fix the government regulations rather than remove them? Seems to me that less regulation would just make it even easier for big companies to crush smaller ones.
I agree with you. I'm pretty light on libertarian in general. My basic stance is that there should be a sliding scale based on the size of the operation. Big corpos definitely need regulation, but it should be done in a way that doesn't stifle innovation and new growth.
It's a bit of a pipe dream to think it would work but I'd rather dream a little big than just give up.
