A sheltered upbringing and an absurd degree of entitlement.

Libertarians have a fetish for contracts. Sure, I got a free public education and use public roads and blah blah blah, but I never signed any contract that makes me liable for taxation or subject to laws, so it would be immoral of you to try to apply those to me. You just did all that stuff out of the goodness of your heart.

Or is it actually really evil to forcibly inflict charity on someone because that ethical obligation is painful on the brain?

[/quote] No no, you see the UAE is absolutely really high up there in economic freedom. Did you know that they paid them nearly $4 a day? Amazing. In fact they were so concerned that they might drop something important that they actually confiscated the passports of the foreign workers they brought in to build it so that they wouldn't lose them or leave the country before they earned all the money they could! Isn't that great of them? I mean of course there are the fees that you have to pay when you start working in the country, and there are the dangers of working on a huge building without proper equipment. But these are small prices to pay for FREEDOM!

I was counting on the fact that JRod doesn't know poo poo about poo poo to have him defend literal slave-states and you have to go and let the cat out of the bag early! But, yes. I think it's absolutely hilarious that JRod actually pulls out the loving Cato institute of all things as a legitimate source, and then manages to praise the motherfucking United Arab Emirates and Qatar as being closer to Libertarianism. This, JRod, this is why we say your philosophy is morally and ethically bankrupt, by the way: You just held up actual, real-life slave states as being "More Libertarian" and "more economically free" than the United States of America. loving ponder that for a few, moments, JRod. Let that roll around in your skull. You've actually held up countries where slavery is okay as something for the US to aspire to. Jesus loving wept.

This way we'll get to watch him hilariously backtrack with the quickness. Assuming he doesn't just ignore the fact that he just held up slavery as a shining beacon of economic freedom, I'm expecting an essay that can be boiled down to "Oh, I never said that Qatar and the UAE were more libertarian than the US" anyway. Which doesn't change the fact that that's what he did. And he's actually kind of right! Being able to own people is more economic freedom than there is in the US! You just have to be an utter moral vacuum to consider that a good thing, which JRod clearly does. So, JRod, what's a fair price for a slave these days? And have you ever hosed a watermelon? e: "Property rights are the source of human rights" my entire, flabby arse.

jrodefeld posted:I promise I am NOT getting into a debate about Hoppe but I will only correct one thing you said. Hoppe doesn't host a conference for "race realists". He runs his own organization called "The Property and Freedom Society" which hosts lots of different speakers, even controversial ones. The vast majority of speakers are run of the mill libertarians, usually right-libertarians and sometimes paleo-conservatives. A couple times that I am aware the infamous Jared Taylor spoke at his conference. That is all there is. This is a far cry from hosting a conference FOR "race realists'. Give me a break! You even conceded in your special thread that he was "probably" a "race realist"! I guess because it's a new thread it never happened? Or have you been away long enough that you've re-built your anti-reality armour? As Caros asked at the time, if he's so into 'controversy', where are the socialist talks there? Where are the communists or anarchists (no, not anarcho-capitalists)? You know mainstream socialist/progressive conferences don't have this problem, right? Like, it's not heard of for white supremacist speakers to speak at such events - and if they do, they're disavowed, not repeatedly invited by the host, then shrugged off like "eh, some of us are bigots, and we appeal to racists and religious fundamentalists to get money to advance the cause. The ends justify the OH WAIT poo poo" P loving S I love how in the last thread you went from "but they never explicitly said they were racist or hate black people so they can't be racist" to now saying "yea the Ron Paul letters were explicitly racist but they couldn't have meant it. Your standard of proof for your heroes being racist is absurd. Ron Paul or some Mises Organisation board member could call a press conference and beat a black kid to death screaming "the impure must be destroyed" and you'd come to the thread saying "God don't you statists understand irony!?"

But he is so self important that he can't address it, and so the joke just gets progressively more and more ridiculous.
