Reading about FOSS philosophy, degoogling, becoming against corporations, and now a full-blown woke communist (like Linus Torvalds)

    Interesting because libertarians are for FOSS as they are against IP. (It is not real property). Libertarians also like to degoogle as they like privacy. Libertarians are against corporations as they are not a free market creation.

      Well, there are Libertarians and libertarians. From your username I gather you’re a Libertarian and not just a GOP moron libertarian who might hate corporations but will defend their “right” not to be regulated, while receiving government subsidies.

      Libertarians are against corporations

      (American) Libertarianism was literally created by Milton Freedman under contract and for the benefit of oil corporations. Claiming libertarians are against corporations is the dumbest fucking take.

      They couldn’t come up with an original thought to save their lives, even the name itself was stolen from French (libertaire) anarchism which had to hide it’s original name after publication bans.

        Nice story, but Libertarians want liberty - huh! Liberty is the absence of coercion. Corporations are a forced manipulation, intrusion & coercion upon a free market. They have government granted limited liability, send lobbyists to manipulate rules in their favour and create regulatory capture to lock out smaller competitors. Competition is part of a free market - which libertarians want! Facts! Libertarianism was the original American ideal known as Liberalism, now Classical Liberalism. In the modern era you are better off referencing Rothbard than Freedman.
