Sorry for taking long to respond, I've been busy.

firstly it seems to be you're muddying left vs right and authoritarian vs liberal/libertarian

Thanks for pointing this out. This is exactly the problem – due to the two-party system, USA people are trying to cram many different opinions into two “packages” even if they're completely unrelated – which is precisely why I think we should pick and choose from these “packages” instead of dogmatically sticking to one.

You often hear people saying right wing parties are all about limiting government intervention (as you have)

I was talking about what seems to be the general stance of moderate right-wing people on the internet, not any specific party. It seems, for example, that many people voted for Trump not because they like him, but because they thought his government would be less controlling than the alternative.

"free speech absolutism" […], which seems to boil down to the childish notion that "it's my right to say what I like without consequence, and everyone has to listen"

No, free speech absolutism is about the idea that those who transmit information shouldn't get to decide whether it gets delivered based on whether they agree with the content. A mail deliverer is not allowed to read letters and discard them if they don't like them, so why should social media be able to do that? The rest of the paragraph seems to be a strawman about what I believe, so I'm not going to address it.

Whether or not illegal immigration creates a burden on the economy, isn't it unfair toward legal immigrants who worked hard to learn the local language and culture?

Banning drugs creates more drug addicts because people are less likely or even able to seek help.

So why do alcohol and tobacco, the two completely legal drugs, have by far the most addicts?

Public transportation.... What? That's a lefty thing.

I'm sorry, I was ninja-editing my comment and accidentally put it into the wrong section. Ignore that.

Takes on equality, I'm not sure what your third option is given you've highlighted the left is trying to do something about it and the right isn't.

As I tried to say, I want equality, but I have a fundamentally different idea about what equality looks like. For example, I consider “affirmative action” to be a step against equality. And having “female-only” or “black-only” stuff just furthers segregation.

I definitely don't consider a driving license a good requirement for voting (I don't have one myself because fuck cars). Not sure how you got that from my comment.
