Communist Zombie posted:You misunderstood my original question because it was about the social contract being a literal piece of paper that you sign. And so from your response, I presume that then it would be ok for a Libertarian?  You're right, I misread what you meant. Sorry.

Weatherman posted:fishmech is the smartest kid in america Speaking as someone who has twice now argued with Fishmech and lost both times, I don't think he's that bad. Sure, he's your classic keyword-activated aggressively pedantic autistic, which can be annoying, but he isn't any worse in that way than, say, me.

The only thing that bothers me about fishmech is that I have read literally thousands of posts from him and never seen him admit he is wrong once. Never acknowledge that the other person has a good point. And with literally hundreds of thousands of posts to his name, I know he has to have been wrong at some point, even if his entire shtick is "I'm technically correct and will argue it to death."

Goon Danton posted:There was a joke theory that Atlas Shrugged and Anthem were the first and third books in a trilogy, with the lost second book describing how Galt and his followers all but destroy the world in their greed and viciousness. This sets up the dark age of Anthem and explains its anti-individualist rules as an attempt to stop it from happening again. I don't remember if that was this thread or elsewhere though. This is genuinely great.

Continuing to talk to you—even just to ask for clarification about the contract—activates it. He will be contractually obligated to change his OKCupid profile to read "I HATE POOR PEOPLE AND MINORITIES". *Then* if he refuses, accuse him of violating the NAP.

Communist Zombie posted:I havent read the entire thread, so maybe this has been answered before but, whats the libertarian response to an actual literal social contract? If the US Government started doing this tomorrow, Libertarians would reject it because the US Government acquired all that land by war and conquest, and built all the infrastructure with slave labor and/or coercive taxation. All US government assets must be auctioned off to the highest bidder and the money used to retire the debt. If a private corporation or wealthy individual acquires enough land and/or critical infrastructure that they can require people to sign such contracts then Libertarians are fine with this in theory because they think they'll be the ones with all the wealth and power dictating terms to the plebs and running the sundown towns. In practice if Libertarians got everything they say they want and their Voluntaryist utopia somehow came about, virtually all ancaps (minus the few lucky heirs of vast capital) would be the ones having the contracts forced on them, and the locus of the shadowy conspiracy of international Jews and degenerate mooching mongrel races holding them back from becoming supreme captains of industry and joining the elite aristocracy of talent will shift from the US Government to GoldmanSachs-JPMorgan-Chase or Walmart-TimeWarner-Apple Corp or whomever, and the Libertarians will support whatever local self-defense organization is equivalent to Golden Dawn.

Rand is a tricky choice, the dumber libertarians think she's great, but the somewhat more intelligent libertarians know that Rand actually hated libertarians and accused them of plagiarizing her ideas (and obviously her ideas were her own and definitely were not influenced by anyone or anything that came before).

Okay I am going to search for the Von Mises string and see if I can attract some by being on their visitors lists. Adding it to my own profile is where sadism would become masochism.
