libertarianism sounds great in theory until you realize that the ~mystical forces of capitalism~ don't work on natural monopolies such as google. the entire concept of free speech and privacy has more or less been destroyed in a couple short decades by one private company. let's throw on the tinfoil for a second and think, "hey what if at some point the US gov't or intel wanted to expand its influence and control, and did so through strategic use of a private information gathering company" is this any different? What would be stopping, say, the CIA from creating a Google and using it to overstep all our laws in an alternative timeline? i will never understand the double-standard of, "well it's OK if you don't have free speech as long as it's not the government limiting you"
ultimately, much like civic nationalism, it's a failed ideaology and a landmine on the path to being truly woke. i used to buy into both myself. capitalism won't regulate monopolies. ideas will never ~unify all the races~. libertarianism is pretty cucked, civics is the ultimate cuck. why? libertarians and civnats get 99% of the way there, and then cuck out on a couple minor details at the end.
