Tankies are sensitive to diverse thought.
See, this is why I think classical liberalism gets a bad name. Conservatives only like to claim they promote classical liberal ideas because it sounds like a cool throwback. When confronted, they play the same authoritarian card they claimed to fight so hard against.
Eh, I feel that a lot of problems are simply blamed on corporations without understanding what the real problem is. I don't give a shit about the corporations, I just think it leaves a lot of problems unaddressed. For example, everyone loves to rail against Amazon for being a shitty company (which they are), but many of them continue to give Amazon money so they can get free 2 day shipping for some meaningless piece of landfill fodder. This allows them to lobby for harmful policies which in turn gives them more money and so on. If people made a reasonable effort to not give Amazon money unless they adjusted their moral compass, Amazon would be change immediately.
I feel the same way about your ideas too! The current system is bullshit and too few people have too much control of peoples' lives.
