First, I find it pretty shitty to take an awesome artist like Ben Garrison and use MS Paint to alter one of his cartoons to make him say something he never said.

It's deliberately misquoting him. That's a Demonrat tactic.

Second, saying that libertarianism (little l) sucks is saying that freedom sucks.

The "corporatarians" get their outsized influence through government regulations, not despite them. It's the fucking crooked politicians that take bribes to let the monster corporations write the laws themselves that are the problem.

If government were so small that it is unable to affect corporate earnings, the corporations wouldn't bother with all the expensive fucking lobbyists. The lobbyists exist to use big government to expand corporate power.

The smaller government is, the more free we are (just think: if there were zero government, we'd be completely free to do whatever we want without governmental judgment). Laws are bars on the jail cell of citizenship.

The only rightful laws are those that judge citizens for interfering with the freedoms of their fellow citizens: life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and all that jazz.

The smaller government is, the more real competition works to fight monopolies and corporate abuse. If people don't look to government as responsible for fighting these things, they will stand up and do it themselves.

Thank you. Spot on. Also, I don't see the point of using divide and conquer on different groups who are all on the MAGA train. It seems like a pointless distraction. Oh wait... 🤔

Conservatism is freedom. Libertarianism is not freedom
