I start: I'm mostly left-libertarian

I used to be a "normal" libertarian (aka right-libertarian) but I started to realize corporations are probably just as bad as the government, if not a mirror image.

Libertarian and Liberal are not the same thing

And there’s nothing normal about Libertarians 😅

Me myself I’m so woke that my liberal neighbours watch under their beds for fear that I will shiv them in the night

    The libertarian party in the US is basically the GOP by another name (think fascist Spain as it related to Nazi Germany).

    Here is the worst example

    "But when someone is said to be shilling for something or someone there is a distinct note of disapproval, and often the implication that the act is somehow corrupt or dishonest, or that the product or person being promoted is not to be trusted."

    Because all Libertarians experience that have been made turns out to be scams to swindle money out of gullible middle class people.

    The fact that hardcore Libertarians tend to be pro-contract slavery, pro weird pedophilia views and against environmental protection.

    All in all, Libertarianism is inherently flawed and lead to a kind of facism or contract feudalism. It only reproduces ways of control that it tried/say it want to abolish

    Wow that's a.. idk weird stance, I've never seen this being advocated by Libertarians.

    I believe libertarians are the most rational people. 'Geolibertarians' are the pinnacle of rationality IMO, because they understand scarce essential resources (like land, but also applied to minerals, etc) are subject to inefficient monopolistic dynamics, and thus should be somehow regulated for the common good.

    Yeah, kinda of? That's why I support geolibertarianism. But I don't think pure Libertarianism is all that bad you make it out to be. It's an incredibly rational way of thinking that maximizes freedom and productivity, and works very well when society has abundant resources. Libertarianism was the prevailant (albeit imperfect) mode of government for the US until the first World War.

    Geolibertarianism is a good solution for when free-market meets limited resources. I'd say that's also probably the most favorite model of government that Milton Friedman would have
