Every libertarian I've ever met is convinced that actors will somehow be way more rational and benevolent when laissez-faire economics allows the market to act freely, as though 'zero regulations' is not already the goal of every major corporation, in order to more completely fuck over everyone they touch.

Either that, or they're convinced they're a good enough prepper to avoid being killed or captured by the inevitable PMC armies that arise from the libertarian apocalypse.
