Normally when I find something embarrassing a libertarian idol said, I like to dump it directly into the thread with little to no lead in. Your average weird diatribe by Crazy Uncle Murray has the best impact as a suckerpunch. However, both because it's necessary and because it will make the hateful old fucker spin in his grave, I'm going to preface this one with a Trigger Warning: this one's about date rape. I can't stress this enough, you should probably skip this post if you aren't prepared for a heaping helping of pure-strain repugnance to kickstart your day. Anyway, Murray Rothbard is a huge piece of poo poo: quote:'Date Rape' on Campus

So, my friend who has been going more and more radicalized, hostile and libertarian is leaving Brazil. Hes tired of the local socialist oppression, corruption and hostility to free enterprise, and its shameful assistencialism making poor people dependent and weak. Where he's moving to? Canada. He was all happy last night going on about how Quebec really welcome immigrants and offers rench language classes and he'll have amazing healthcare. I pointed but that the country is exactly the kind of place he professes to despise, with high taxes and subsidized healthcare/education, and he basically said "No it isn't." I actually played the jerk and called up a few facts on my cellphone, and he basically shrugged and admitted that they don't have brown people draining the assistance that should go to blue-eyed types like his fine self. So yeah, good riddance. It galls me that he'll go enjoy the socialism he claims to despise, but I'm done. Hopefully he'll bump into Caros and gain a clue via osmosis.

ToxicSlurpee posted:"But there are so many college educated snake people! The average wage of college educated people is *above average amount* dollars. Why don't they buy anything?" Right? It couldn't possibly be that they're smarter and more financially prudent than their parents were at that age (except for the most ostentatious and therefore visible ones), meaning they don't cream their pants over getting in even more debt Also, "average salary" absolutely means "typical salary." Everyone who didn't learn math concepts because their curriculum was based on memorization knows that. I basically treat my student debt as a 50% premium added to my rent just for the privilege of having the skills that I use to make money for other people, and I'm the one whose parents took most of the loan burden. For people in less fortunate circumstances it's probably more like a 100% premium.

Stinky_Pete posted:Right? "Typical salary" in America is actually "poor." Most Americans are considered poor currently based on household income but average income is middle class. Average doesn't mean much if you have people throwing it off by, say, earning 500 times what their employees earn. Another issue is that people aren't willing to loan money as much as they were in the past. There's a ton of issues screwing millenials over; they're also assuming that millenials can even find jobs in the first place. Half of people graduating college don't find jobs relating to what they majored in. A significant percent never finds a job at all after graduating. Unemployment among the young is absurdly high but when the people screaming that millenials aren't spending enough are told "hey maybe you should loving hire them so they have money" they're like "...but I have to pay for that!" It's typical rich person bullshit; "just give me more money because gently caress you."

Speaking of contractual sex, one of the libertarian bitcoiners came up with something like "sexcoin" with the concept being that you and your prospective partner would have to buy sexcoins, submit transactions on the sexchain to a mutual wallet, wait for confirmations, and then that would be a permanent record of both of you consenting to having sex. Yes it was as half-baked as it sounds. Strawman posted:What bitcoin story? Since this isn't YOSPOS I'll just link to it brazil.txt

It's noninvasive and takes all of ten seconds. Get hosed Kansas.

That gets into some touchy territory; one issue was that apparently some states were waiting on starting the blood test then doing a little math to fudge the numbers (well see it was legal when the blood was drawn but that was two hours after the traffic stop so we *bullshit bullshit bullshit* and it was clearly almost fatal when the person was driving!). Blood tests are also kind of invasive compared to breathalyzers and, well, you can breathalyze somebody on the spot. Some states used a refusal of a blood test as an admission of guilt. Even if you were stone sober saying "no, you don't get my blood" got you a DUI anyway. I think. I haven't read about it in a while but some nasty bullshit happened with the blood tests.

When I first got my driver's license (in Florida), I remember it was an automatic 3 or 6 month revocation of your license if you refused to blow, but the cops couldn't charge you with anything for not doing it (unless they had some other way of proving you were drunk). Not sure if that's changed. But yeah, I could see that being an issue in regards to blood testing; sounds a lot like in Ohio a cop doesn't have to necessarily tag you with a radar gun to nail you for speeding; if they think you were speeding they can fine you for however fast they think you were going.

Walter Block posted:Another type of pinching or sexual harassment is that between a secretary and her boss. Although to many people, and especially to many people in the women’s liberation movement, there is no real difference between this pinching and the pinching that occurs on the street, the fact is that the pinching that takes place between a secretary and her boss, while objectionable to many women, is not a coercive action. It is not a coercive action like the pinching that takes place in the public sphere because it is part of a package deal: the secretary agrees to all aspects of the job when she agrees to accept the job and especially when she agrees to keep the job. A woman walking along a public sidewalk, on the other hand. can by no means be considered to have given her permission, or tacitly agreed to begin pinched. The street is not the complete private property of the pincher, as is the office. On the contrary, if the myths of democracy are to be given any credence at all, the streets belong to the people. All the people. Even including women. Presented without comment.

"Consider the economic and legal 'harassment' which continually occurs between an individual and state...while objectionable to many libertarians, [it] is not a coercive action. It is rather part of a package deal in which the citizen agrees to all aspects of citizenship when he/she agrees to live in the state, and especially to stay in the state. The state is, after all, public property. The citizen does not have to remain if the 'coercion' is objectionable." Oh Walter you make this so easy.

Come to think of it, there's a lot of office space that's leased rather than owned. Does the boss still get to freely grope his secretary if he's paying rent each month, or is that a privilege reserved for the landed gentry?
