    US libertarianism is basically “I want freedom to do what I want, and want limits put on others based on my own values”.

      Except for the group that wants zero taxes and uses words like “ephebophile” to explain why they should be able to purchase a 14 year old girl from her father. I don’t know why they think deregulating corporations will allow that, though.

      Basically conservative libertarianism is fascism. If you don’t want to be tread on, you, yourself, mustn’t tread on others for that to work.
