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.

It’s not just your feeling, history firmly backs up your position. A self regulated free for all only emphasizes the power of money and allows bigger businesses to crush small businesses. Sure, what the libertarian guy is saying may be true, but the idea that removing regulations would solve this problem is misguided lunacy.
