Your a Libertarian Liberal, or as XKCD called it Internet Libertarians
I was thinking the same thing :Urban Dictionary:
1.A smart ass on the internet that claims the economy can work itself out on its own, as long as there is no government regulation. This belief is usually based on the ECON 101 class they took a few years back. On closer inspection, most of the internet libertarian's facts don't check out.
2.internet libertarians are usually two or more of the following: white, nerdy, male, suburban, (hostilely) atheistic, and well-off. they usually have close-knit, supportive families as well. a true internet libertarian has never lived for long periods of time in anywhere but an affluent suburb. they are naive, sheltered fucks to a tee. they also tend to be less smug and vocal about their politics IRL - they fear (more) social rejection.
internet libertarians are mostly Randites and Ron Paul Revolution groupies. you will find them preaching their Pollyanna-like views of wanton deregulation/decentralization/isolationism in any sufficiently nerdy online venue - think Slashdot, Reddit, or an imageboard with a political discussion section.
they tend to be excessively fond of dense, idiosyncratic video games like TF2 and Minecraft
