paragon1 posted:You are just aggressively worthless, aren't you? Judging from their post history, 8-Bit Scholar is one of those cranks who swings between stringent ideological posts and "joke" posts as a defense mechanism. It lets them draw attention from their heavily-criticized sincere posts by burying them underneath a mountain of ironic shitposts. Unfortunately, 8-Bit isn't particularly good at it. I've seen this schtick before, and from much smarter people. If you've been following the PYF Dark Enlightenment Thinker thread, then you're probably familiar with ClarkHat, a man who got booted from the well-regarded left-libertarian blog Popehat after he metamorphosed from stealth-conservative ancap into balls-out neoreactionary ancap. ClarkHat is a master of what 8-Bit's trying to do, and he's so good at mixing shitposting and politics that he comes across as this infuriatingly untouchable quasi-troll. While I'm at it, ClarkHat is an anarcho-capitalist and absolutely on-topic for this thread. Here's a gallery of some his more remarkable tweets. Bonus: as a neoreactionary, he has no problem with violent revolution, and as you read through his tweets you'll notice he's practically salivating for the death of millions.

Fixed your link. Otherwise... Yes, when I want to think of the greatest person to exemplify my political ideology, I always go to the most famous person ever: Hitler, lover of freedom, protector of capitalism, and warrior against the Jewish banker three parenthesis elites. Let me show you how his core principles and methods he used to secure his people's freedom from foreign powers totally didn't violate the NAP and his government was less like a totalitarian dictatorship and more like that of a voluntarily contracted DRO. Yes, subscribe today to Hitler DRO for the low low price of $14.88 a month, and get a free copy of the Libertarian thinker's edition of Mein Kampf.

The funniest thing about that list is it just assumes that black people are genetically stupid/lazy/etc and phrases all those opinions as just "noticing" or "pointing out" this iron law of nature. "I'm just noticing things here, how can it be racist to notice things!"

Something like that came up with Rothbard's review of the Bell Curve. He says it's data to prove "what everyone already knows" about race and intelligence. It's not enough that I'm right, or that it's obvious, it has to be that you already agree with me and are just lying about it.

I suppose that one strategy to paper over that you have no actual argument for your position is to insist that it must be self-evidently true. This would also explain how we ended up with Praxeology.

Strength of justification is irrelevant because you just care so, so much about freedom that you are obviously careful to find the right answer.

This would also explain how we ended up with Praxeology. The big one is Hoppe's Argumentation Ethics, where he claims to prove that disagreeing with the NAP isn't just wrong, but incoherent. Nonviolently arguing against the NAP is non-aggressive, which means you're following the NAP, which is a performative contradiction. Please ignore that "A implies B" and "B implies A" are different statements, and double-ignore that punching someone in the face if they try to make the argument is a solid refutation of it. e: 8-Bit Scholar posted:A friendly reminder to vote for Gary Johnson, a vote against government corruption and the police state.

His donors don't oppose them, and in fact they need those things to maximize profits for their prisons. Which means that he'll never actually work to decriminalize them, but rather he'll just continue to say that he will someday. quote:Citation needed on the LGBT thing. He's a well known proponent of letting the states decide, which means that he supports allowing states to strip LGBT people of their rights. It's hard to be more against LGBT rights than that.

If I could return to that great champion of libertarian principles, Hitler, for a second, was the Holocaust justified because the Jews had aggressed against the Aryan Race by trying to pollute their pure genetics by making them breed with lesser races, or was it justified because they had aggressed against Christendom when they murdered Jesus?

According to the Libertarian Party platform, they condemn bigotry but think private organizations should be able to discriminate however much they want , i.e. they're perfectly fine enabling bigotry. You know, the standard Business Republican response for the last couple years. So take that as you will. Also, not surprised that their very first core principle is Self-Owning.

Hitler himself wasn't too keen on Christianity, and particularly the organized Churches, so I guess the first one? He also compared the Jews to "a bacillus" in the body of the volk.

It's still dumb, made up bullshit, but not that dumb. Even population wise that doesn't make a lot of sense given that while I guess it had Celts on it (which describes something like 90% of Europe at the time) but it definitely didn't have bloody Italians on it until they came over from Italy and conquered it, as anyone familiar with the Punic wars should be able to tell.

So he's not anti-LGBT he's pro-States Rights, good to know you're talking nonsense I believe Johnson wants a viable legal drug market more than his donors' wishes will warrant honoring. I certainly believe that Johnson will end the War on Drugs where Hillary Clinton will sit on her hands about it for four to eight years.
