   libertarianism in tech discourse is basically just telling people to stop being a little bitch about it (for varying degrees of whatever "it" is) :blobcatgoogly:

     I don't know what insane psyop convinced 'libertarians' that monopolies & cronyism are fine and shouldn't be dealt with. If one actually cares about innovation and prosperity they would hate corruption and stagnation just that little bit more than the state being involved.
     
     IMO libertarians at their best are when they're focused on stopping the state from doing what it shouldn't do and making sure it can do what it should do. If you don't believe there's anything the state should do then you're not a libertarian, but rather an anarchist. (no shade to anarchists though)

     @gabriel that would probably be the koch brothers and peter thiel types that found it useful to colonize the tech frontiers
