And moreover, how do you get Good People? Racism aside, the answer through that is through high-quality, widely-available education and media. Libertarianism is incapable of providing high-quality products universally, that's part of the point. And any comparison between Fox / MSNBC / CNN against NPR / BBC / even loving Al Jazeera shows a pretty clear correlation between government funding and quality, informative media. Hell, capitalism even has a hard time with non-journalistic media -- how many Saw movies were there, again? How many great writers and artists died penniless before their work was popularized?

I imagine it's similar to how "misanthropist" is received when MRAs yell it at feminists. When someone levies a criticism against you for what is, to you, just "you see the truth," it stops having any meaning except as an attack word.

You must be new to the Libertarian trade, because fetishizing economic systems is LITERALLY what they do.

Yet another person who cannot read, holy poo poo.

That's exactly what I'm saying you loving retard. I don't think that political or economic systems decide outcomes as much as libertarians, communists, or any other political/economic fetishist think they do.

This is what I am talking about. You people lack basic reading comprehension skills. It's pointless for someone representing the opposition to come in here. Every 1 comment that they make gets replied to with 20 people making retarded sarcastic comments that don't even remotely address what is being said.

quote:

What's with the scare quotes around racist? You are 100% without a doubt a bigot who believes he is racially superior to non-whites, so at least own up to it all the way.

Because that term has taken on a life of its own and I don't want to be identified with it. My views are not the same as some random KKK redneck.

quote:

To which I reply, "what makes you think that you are a better person than people who had to fight and risk their lives to bring about an actual revolution?"

That doesn't address the argument at all. There is no reason to think that who fought or risked their lives for something are the people who, when in charge, would ensure the best outcomes. If you think you could have corrected something that went wrong then of course you'd think you could do better.

And of course there is the complication of "what some person thinks" and "what would actually happen".

quote:

I also have seen privately how many good people working together can end up doing bad things due to a poorly designed governance structure. So no, having good people is not enough.

You could get suboptimal results, that is of course true and by me saying that mixed economies are superior I am already acknowledging this fact.

What I am saying is that with good people (and by good I mean fair, honest, intelligent, well-meaning), you will at least get a good effort towards maximizing the possibilities of some structure.

What I am also saying is that the real-world counterpart to this conversation is that the structures you're talking about are also the products of some group of people, and if they are good (fair, honest, intelligent, well-meaning), then those structures will be good. Or at the very least, as good people they will recognize and correct the deficiencies.

quote:

And moreover, how do you get Good People?

In the real world you don't, they are either there or they are not. They could be there but not in charge of anything. They could be in charge of everything while all the bad people just live in the society they run. It's a crapshoot. The only thing you can hope for is that the ambitious people are good.

It's just groups of people creating structures. There is a selection bias where large and functioning states only arise from groups of people who are intellectually and socially capable of creating and running states. I.e. to even make a state at all requires a certain amount of cooperation and intelligent planning.

The groups who aren't intelligent or socially cohesive enough do not create large states. They have warlords or create tribes or something like that.

Again, you are utterly missing the point.

The government is a product of some group of people. So are the laws. So are the private enterprises like CNN/Fox/MSNBC. So are public enterprises like BBC/NPR. These are all products of the same civilization(s). Everything starts with the people, because everything is the product of people. The government that makes things you like is also a product of people. If you lived in a civilization with lovely people you wouldn't have CNN/Fox/MSNBC OR BBC/NPR, and may not have a real state at all.

To put it another way, even if the government collapsed tomorrow you'd still have the people in our society who were responsible for NPR/BBC (maybe the creators are dead, but you'd still have people who liked it, and were passionate about making great programming etc.). You'd still have the people who were responsible for that state in the first place (with the same clarification as the last), and they might just make another state and another NPR. In my view, anarchy is more like a stem cell which leads to some other state system, simply because states have such massive utilitarian value.

You can justify it for a lot of reasons, these are (some of) mine. If you want a health care system then by all means. Maybe I'd even want a healthcare system in my perfect state. However I think you will find that a government health care system is only degraded by the presence of the lesser races, who "consume" healthcare without being capable of adding to the supply. You will also find that the people of lesser races are not capable of administering it properly. It would be really funny to me to see a black state with UHC.

quote:

I thought that was weird, most true-believer Libertarians are more subtle or more naive about the racism, but now it makes sense.

In my time as what you are calling a libertarian (an anarchist), neither I nor anyone I interacted with gave opinions or justifications which were explicitly or implicitly racist. In fact, in my interactions with them now, they are pissed at me for being a racist just like you all are. There is a large rift between white nationalists and libertarians (here's a video which shows how this breaks down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1A5fiMrJ3i0).

Their justifications for getting rid of the state includes the idea that it would be better for minorities who are oppressed or otherwise negatively affected by it. The fact that you think that's not true doesn't mean that they are racist for thinking it is true. That's simply arguing dishonestly, where you refuse to believe that someone sincerely holds a belief, and that they must have some super duper bad and mean reason for saying something. That's arguing like an rear end in a top hat, which is an absolute hallmark of this forum and the reason why people don't come here to argue with you people. You think other people are assholes because of their views, so you treat them like assholes. This makes YOU the rear end in a top hat in practice.

Even now I think it's rather questionable to act like freedom would be so much worse for blacks than stewardship by white government. It sounds very paternalistic. It also totally precludes the possibility that they would just make their own state.

I don't think they would. I think they would live in squalor and die without white stewardship. But there's not a libertarian I've talked to that wasn't optimistic for them. Which puts the 3 of us (me, you all, and libertarians) in an interesting 3-way relationship. I think they would die without a white state because they are dumb, and I don't care that they would. Libertarians think they would be better off without a state. You all think they need a white state to live, which is why we should give them one (or more accurately: why we shouldn't take it away from them).

I make no guarantees that I'll continue replying. I've said just about everything I want to say. You guys are just another flavor of people who conduct themselves like assholes on the internet. It's just your sense of piousness that shields you from introspection.

Nope, we think that libertarians are racist because we can point to numerous examples of race based ideology in the libertarian movements in the USA.

I'm an immigrant, and during 2013 and 2014, as debate over immigration reformed raged on in the US, I saw how extremely anti-immigrant the Republican Party was. It was so extreme I could only imagine intense racist fervor could inspire such zeal. I reluctantly switched over to being a single issue Democrat at first, but started to see everything from a more leftist viewpoint over time. Now I see the same racist fervor of the anti-immigrant right also underlying libertarian ideology. I realized libertarian dislike for welfare was actually driven by the fact that it was viewed as a transfer of wealth from rich whites to poor blacks. The people on Stormfront (the white supremacist forum) spouted the same nonsense conspiracy theories about the federal reserve system as the libertarians, but they colorfully included heavy anti-Semitic arguments that libertarians omitted.

In short, I realized libertarianism was dog-whistle white supremacism. It's a racist ideology white-washed to remove references to race. Not being a libertarian anymore is a bit like leaving a religious cult, and seeing it from the outside perspective and realizing how much you were fooled.

Listen I'm going to just state it: all libertarians are racist. I have yet to meet one or read any libertarian author that didn't buy into the idea that there were fundamental differences between arbitrary racial classifications. This is a racist belief, and fundamentally at odds with current understandings of genetics and biology. Whether or not you believe that black people are inherently inferior or doomed to failure, or just not suited to living with white people, you are a racist. And, FYI, people like Hoppe suggesting that a good libertarian society would allow bigoted enclaves as a matter of course is, in fact, a pretty good indicator that they are racist, sexist and homophobic. The specific types of mini-societies they envision as existing and explicitly call out are always racially based or based upon keeping out undesirable classes. It's never anything else. Why do you think that is? Because this is what they want from their perfect society.

~ David Lee Roth

If I may interject, it's obvious that LuftWaffle is a man who feels out of place in the world. He is trying to reconcile the modern world with his Middle-Earth-like understanding of the world, such as when it comes to society or race.

For example, when he refers to race, he is using the old understanding that a race has inherent traits--not just physical characteristics, such as in Dungeons & Dragons, but inherent moral ones. In The Lord of the Rings, it is stated multiple times that out of all of the races, the closest race to Eru Ilúvatar and his Ainur are the Elves, who were created by God himself as the wisest and fairest of all. Orcs and other "lesser races," on the other hand, were Elves that were tortured and corrupted by Morgoth for the sole purpose of following evil, and no historical evidence exists that an Orc can overcome his inherent nature to follow evil.

Also, when he talks about a state being only as good as his people, he is literally using the same morality that allows states such as Lothlórien and Númenor to exist as a contrast to something such as Mordor itself. It is no surprise that Mordor, populated by "lesser" Orcs, would inherently allow themselves to be ruled by a Dark Lord who ceases to cast the entire world in shadow and enslave all to his will as some kind of despot. Lorien, on the other hand, is ruled by wise and benevolent Elven royalty who live in a society that exists in harmony with nature, as well as its own citizens; Elvish life is purely regimented, yet allows for things such as beautiful artwork and craftsmanship.

Númenor stands as a mid-point between the two, yet still illustrates his point. An island ruled by kings of men who were blessed with unnaturally long life, whose sole sin was that they dared stretch themselves east and allow themselves to be infiltrated by lesser races which sewed seeds of chaos and discord amongst the populace, allowing themselves to succumb to their lesser basic animalistic natures of greed and jealousy of what others have (in this case, the eternal life of the Valar), much like modern economic attempts to "share the wealth" amongst class lines.

As you can see, all three lands had the same type of government, but the people who populated these lands was the critical factor in their ultimate downfalls.

You really are a louse...
I don't know what's more pathetic, the possibility that this dude's been keeping the Nazi* gimmick going since '02, or the possibility that he's legit and the most pathetic Nazi ever.

*Nazi, Dark Enlightenment Entitlement, Neo-reactionary, whatever you wanna call it.

It's a pity that Emden hasn't rereged since his last banning, it almost would be worth it to see those two idiots bounce off each other over which was more "realistic" about race.

Almost.

But what if the best people in a certain situation happen to be black? Surely even a race realist such as yourself might account for that scenario, as unlikely as it may be :ohdear:

There are situations where the best people would be black. Picking cotton or playing cornerback for example.

You're not fooling anyone. You'll be back, even if you have to duck out early from your Strength Through Joy block meeting this evening.
