No, if you think that laws mean nothing, even good laws to help people by putting limitations on companies and/or the rich, because the government inherently selective enforces and will only ever protect and/or serve the rich, that's a libertarian stance. Suddenly a lot of all this discourse genuinely does make more sense to me now.

If laws exist only to punish me for certain actions but let others get away for the same thing then why should I support the law? After all if they get the protection of it while also not being obligated to follow it then I'm just supporting something designed to screw me over. Why should I give a gently caress about order when some rich dipshit can get away with a hit and run because his dad owns a car dealership? To somehow pretend the law deserves respect while it's applied selectively only allows for atrocity under the guise of civility

it really isn't, though. if you got to make the laws, why wouldn't that first statement apply to that system too? why would you protect others at the expense of yourself, the maker of the law? the leap between that and "all laws are subverted and should therefor be abolished" isn't really all that far.

Don't forget that if you think a law sucks, or the legislature who made it might selectively enforce it, you must oppose all laws on principle. This is a very reasonable inference, actually.

cuz i stept away for a bit and saw 50 new posts and thought "oh boy did the oil do a fun thing again"

instead, no, theres arguing about what the law is and definitions being thrown around and a bunch of talking past each other...


oil is still an untenable $16 a barrel, making me feel p good about my rock touching as opposed to oil slurping job - but wary of what this means for the oil slurping economy of texas

i didn't say you were a libertarian or anarchist, just that the leap from "laws aren't applied equally" to "abolish all law" isn't that crazy. the missing step would be "and laws can't be applied equally", which isn't something people have said here.

IRA's are a scam from when they killed pensions and decided on a way to force people to invest in the market. The fact that it is useful to some workers doesn't change the fact that it's primary function is yet another giveaway to the rich.

A sane society would have good pensions or social security actually good enough to retire on instead of IRA s. If you want to invest your extra money in stocks that's fine, but lol forever that average workers are forced to do that to have a retirement.

What is the mechanism for any... entity? Particularly a corporation, to remove your own personal money from any account where the assets are in your name*. Your 401 is associated with your employer. The funds are not held by or accessible to your employer. It's like saying that if the economy gets bad enough, Congress will let Pepsi arbitrarily withdraw from your checking account.

*which, as noted, you will always have the right to have in a cash equivalent.

Your talking about trustees. The mechanism for keeping tabs on them and monitoring is EBSA.

It's sort of clever, you set it up so the only legislation you'll accept is legislation that will never exist (in some cases because it would be impossible to actually legislate or construct legislation for), so in the meantime any other laws that exist or things the government does are illegitimate. So you get to enjoy the libertarianism without copping to it under the guise of leftism. hence all the "dunks" on "lanyards" etc. huh! :thunk:

factually true but the point is the trustee can't and won't remove assets from you--the account owner-- and randomly grant access to your employer so they can change/withdraw it

it doesn't take much manpower to ensure that trustees exist and are not giving away the money randomly to someone it doesn't belong to
