I hate that the only viable "third party" are these chucklefucks.

Fuck you, you dipshits. "WhAt iF tHe cHiLd CoNsEnTs" bullshit. Also, there is no such thing as more competition with less regulation. Fucking morons.

    Even if everyone is "selfish" in society, how does a free market combat mega-corporations like Walmart or Google? The second you prove some amount of viability in the market, they have the resources to undercut your operation, wait until you bankrupt, and then take your shit for pennies on the dollar. Or, straight up just buy you out before you're actually competitive.

    How is that efficient? How is that good for the consumer?

      They sidestep that by claiming the only reason Walmart and Google are as big as they are is because of government regulation. When you ask them which regulations specifically they never have an answer though. They unironically think that with no government competition would ensure companies never get too big.

        It's just magical thinking to assume that there is a magical entity called government that is separate from other spheres of human action.

        it's pure idealism. They think every problem in the world stems from "government bad" and work backwards from there
