Who What Now posted:Zoos are states? Who else built the walls that imprisoned the gorilla, supplied the electricity that lit the scene of the crime? Who else educated the murderer, built the roads they traveled on, supplied the food and water that sated them, but not enough, leaving only the blood of the state's prisoner to quench them?

that was a FREE GORILLA ON THE LAND and it was unreasonable to expect him to listen to the POLICE STATE that we are all slaves under As a FREE MAN ON THE LAND myself I would also maul a child that accidentally wandered into my cage, I take this as an inalienable right and I have a number of Hayek quotes proving it so:

Tesseraction posted:Yeah he has a very libertarian approach to how words work. I guess he means "sounds like" since it's pronounced kwee and queer is pronounced kweer but who fuckin' knows with these doofuses. The socialists have engineered a semantic revolution in converting the meaning of terms into their opposite. In the vocabulary of their “Newspeak,” as George Orwell called it, there is a term “the one-party principle.” Now etymologically party is derived from the noun part. The brotherless part is no longer different from its antonym, the whole; it is identical with it. A brotherless party is not a party, and the one party principle is in fact a no-party principle. It is a suppression of any kind of opposition. Freedom implies the right to choose between assent and dissent. But in Newspeak it means the duty to assent unconditionally and strict interdiction of dissent. This reversal of the traditional connotation of all words of the political terminology is not merely a peculiarity of the language of the Russian Communists and their Fascist and Nazi disciples. The social order that in abolishing private property deprives the consumers of their autonomy and independence, and thereby subjects every man to the arbitrary discretion of the central planning board, could not win the support of the masses if they were not to camouflage its main character. The socialists would have never duped the voters if they had openly told them that their ultimate end is to cast them into bondage. For exoteric use they were forced to pay lip-service to the traditional appreciation of liberty.

Look, if the proles don't have the freedom to work themselves to death and the Captains of Industry don't have the freedom to steal the fruits of the aforementioned proles' labour we're basically living in Communaziland. And that's bad, because those are scary words.

This thread has had hundreds of new posts since I last saw it over a month ago. Please tell me this is due to a new challenger appearing and not some random goon playing devil's advocate on the benefits of repealing the Civil Rights Act.

If you missed it, half or so probably happened since jrod got permabanned. Specifically, banned for pulling his usual shtick in the climate change thread, and then permabanned for threatening chargeback fraud.

I was going through jrod's rap sheet, and his last probation thanks to Vitalsigns really stood out to me. I know jrod has argued in the past about being against the CRA, and although it's a totally racist thing to do, I can sorta, kinda understand how someone could, if they squint their eyes real hard, see that this wouldn't necessarily be a racist policy, and that they were just being very ideologically pure. But then you have stuff like Vitalsigns post, where our not-a-racist-at-all libertarian hero, suddenly wonders if it really is such a bad thing to use the possibility of a black person smoking weed as a legitimate defense to murder them. I mean, this ain't new. Like most of us here, I noticed this sort of thing years ago. But it really does make all the stats showing that libertarians are essentially Republicans too embarrassed to identify themselves as such, a lot less surprising.

Not to continue speaking ill of the dead, but hooooooly poo poo.jrodefield posted:Here is the new top 10 from the Heritage Institute. No UAE or Qatar in the top 10 so maybe you'll look at the substance of the ranking this time. This is probably the most thing I've ever witnessed from jrod. This is "get your government hands off my medicare!" territory.

I'm going with real name. This Jacob Rodefeld is directly quoting a Caros post. It's trivial to find other forums where he posts blue-ray related stuff, a youtube account with blue-ray uploads, and other information. A melonfucker at his age still mooching off his parents, a shameful melonfucker. Corvinus fucked around with this message at 08:15 on Jun 3, 2016 |

I no-joke read about 110 pages of this thread before getting the end spoiled because I clicked his permaban entry in the leper's colon, and I lost the will to read the remaining however-many hundred pages remained. So I missed the melon-loving reference. Could someone please either explain or link it for me?

Weatherman posted:So I missed the melon-loving reference. Could someone please either explain or link it for me? Basically, someone offhandedly accused him of loving a watermelon, and he got all offended in a way that didn't actually say he didn't gently caress a watermelon. Stuff escalated from there.
