++ to you for the self-awareness. Personally I saw how libertarian arguments were just so fun to make and just so unworkable in any real world situation and skipped the whole trap, stayed a democrat. But I've made my own meta contrarian points (trying to tell my liberal friends that the iraq war was a good idea) and almost always been borne out wrong by reality. Turns out if your motivations veers from "truth" to "it feels good to make this argument", you're gonna steer yourself wrong.
