Where does Jethro Tull fit into all this? I'm assuming they're considered a tool of the Cultural Marxists because they won that Grammy for best metal album instead of Metallica.

Well let's take a look. quote:Jethro Tull (1674 – 21 February 1741, New Style) was an English agricultural pioneer from Berkshire who helped bring about the British Agricultural Revolution. He perfected a horse-drawn seed drill in 1701 that economically sowed the seeds in neat rows. He later developed a horse-drawn hoe. Tull's methods were adopted by many great land owners and helped to provide the basis for modern agriculture. This revolutionized the future of agricultural success.

Even Rush has given up on libertarianism. I think we can safely say that prog is, in fact, the music of progressive values.

Rush softened over time, they started full-on Objectivist, then milquetoast sorta-libertarianism, and now they're just liberal.

Some of you might remember an old video game named Alpha Centauri. During the first half of the 2000s nerds would relentlessly quote it due to it being about post apocalypstic sci-fi nation building on a planet with transhumanist endings and shithead leaders who did bad things with good results in the name of logic and reason. People were quoting these characters like someone might do actual historical or famous fictional characters. Also barely (un)concealed admiration for the despot guy who's entire society is based on tyranny and pain.

You could play "Alpha Centauri or [X]?" with basically every quote from that game, where [X] is libertarian/neoreactionary/religious fundamentalist/whatever other lunatic internet cultist you want.quote:What do I care for your suffering? Pain, even agony, is no more than information before the senses, data fed to the computer of the mind. The lesson is simple: you have received the information, now act on it. Take control of the input and you shall become master of the output.

Yeah where every other faction was "THIS IS THE FINAL TERRIBLE FORM OF THAT PHILOSOPHY YOU'RE CURRENTLY LAUGHING AT" the U.N. one was kind of bloodless and pure. They would have probably fit in better if there had been a few more aspects of it closer to reality, but I guess it would have hard to translate some of the criticisms of the real UN into a videogame where they're a single unified faction.

Anyone else remember when libertarians thought South Park was going to destroy political correctness on college campuses (because the current crop of high schoolers grew up watching it) but nothing happened because it's just a loving comedy cartoon?

That's not how greed works. Even assuming stupid poo poo like the Laffer Curve would work out. I think this person talking about how absolute monarchy and ultimate power actually make for good governance may have rather ill considered opinions!

Night10194 posted:"Suppose our king was greedy! He'd obviously take long-term policies to rationally maximize long-term gain." Even speaking rationally, it's important to remember that people live for a finite space of time and national policy takes a while to have a visible effect (although I can see how techno-utopians might have difficulties with that bit). That's what means a quick, country-wrecking smash-and-grab that'll let you live out the rest of your life in luxury is a sensible decision if you're a sufficiently empathy-devoid hedonist. Maximum pleasure, minimum amount of work.
