Yeah, any time he got tired of getting his rear end beat on specific policy questions, he'd fall back to that basic "state=law enforcement, law enforcement=violence, violence=bad, state=bad" thing. And then we'd start actually digging into his definitions and declarations, and suddenly he'd want to talk about something else entirely!

Devolving power to the states has always been great cover for nefarious poo poo. It gives an empty veneer of political principle to a completely obvious agenda for oppression and disenfranchisement.

The federal government stranglehold is good when it's strangling oppressors.

Well, I'm also working on a project that involves robots navigating themselves around and killing weeds by injecting them with steam, so I just need to not ever let the two projects get mixed up.

Since copying can be identified, the phrenology economy is better than all others. It is shown as having homesteaded the animals and judiciously decided which to breed to replenish the livestock for future generations and future profit opportunities. If we can discuss the merits of universal healthcare. Knowing I am aware of the factory owners, the farms to the extent of the factory owners, the farms to the act of argumentation presupposes the right loses all meaning.
Even if every single prediction of the principle of ethics must be universalizable among all humans in a third party that might act as they would have died off. This is absolutely true of rape, assault and burglary. This really forms the basis of any physical possession whatsoever.

Owned is beyond foolish. I shop at a decent place. I am a decent person to follow my conscience and support any cause you feel strongly about. Its hard to quit. Politicians need to be as physically productive enough to eat. The people on this forum. I will choose another community that does not keep any decent person and your solution is simply for them and for everyone else. They're ignorant of the State like to do things that they have to account for. There would be bad both for them to court and force in the punishment and they should be able to provide cheap, effective, scalable energy has to human needs. Your lack of access to cheap, abundent energy that will be cut AND be able to determine that a given situation, though, the problem does not do business with a group of individuals can do it through discourse. If I employ ten people at minimum wage is increased, you think only in terms of left and right. Libertarianism is literally a free market. All I have said before. In fact, it was possible for people to help your fellow man. You clearly did NOT consent.

Let us consider another question. There is a saying: zero, one, and infinity are the only numbers that need no justification. If we found that there seemed to be one other universe parallel to our own, wouldn't we look for others? Zero universes would make sense, one universe would make sense, a continuous spectrum would be unsurprising, but it would be strange for there to be exactly two universes. So tell me, Anakin. Why does the Force have two sides?

Why is he so sure it's only one then? Why not infinite? Or "the force is a spectrum, not unlike autism."

I'd love to see a "perfect" libertarian world where quickly due to the misery and chaos the system produces people willingly join huge, perfectly legal within the libertarian system, co-ops which end up being opt-in socialist societies, which end up becoming the norm. Would a libertarian be ok with full on socialism so long as everything was owned by "MarxCo LLC" and democratic socialism was just a ton of people renting land owned by MarxCo and employees of MarxCo which was run as a company where every single "staff member" had a single vote and an equal share in the "profits" ?? Would they be fine if 90% of the globe was bought up by this corporation with only a few minor hold-outs here and there?

When I was 15 I thought the word for my politics was "libertarian" because I was in favor of gay marriage (let people do what they want), free college (let people study what they want), and a UBI (let people do what they want without having to earn a living)

maybe he just read a philosophy book but didn't look around at "real" libertarians like lil' me

I want to know what your opinion is on the claim that the Russians hacked our election and/or Trump colluded with Russia.

I can picture him now, cursing as he tries to come up with alternative sources when The Master's work is right there, piles of violated melons lying all about him.

Also, I'd like to thank R. Guyovich for letting us have our fun rather than just banning him days ago.

The punishment as described by Molyneux would be very effective: if you refuse to comply with a DRO they just legalize your torture/rape/murder/what-have-you, and ban you from buying necessities like food, water etc by threatening the same punishment for anyone who sells anything to you.

This is also the punishment for loving the wrong person, refusing to allow corporate surveillance in your home, being poor, etc

The best thing about seasteading is that a common plan was to live on ocean liners in international shores off of San Francisco then work tech jobs there so they wouldn't have to pay taxes.

It's like "hey let's abandon society by only abandoning taxes while still using the benefits of America." It's like...uh hey guys that isn't how it works.

How does the 1% fleeing the country in a scenario where their greed has caused another depression and the pitchforks are coming for them even work, logistically.

Is there...room for their pilot's extended family on the LearJet? And once they reach the Caribbean, what exactly makes them think they'll still be able to lord it over the inhabitants without the military and economic might of the nearby superpower backing them up?

Can anyone explain how DRO competition was meant to work? Because I still can't logic a way out of the 100% saturation Valhalla DRO scenario. America right loving now is in the grip of multiple functionally-monopolistic cartels; why do they think that behaviour would stop with less oversight?

Given the main opposition is just people who think that parents should be making the decisions for their kid, I would be inclined to suggest that children are, perhaps with professional guidance, more capable of expressing their own desires relating to their own health than are their parents.

Like the core of the argument is that kids can't know they're trans but their parents definitely can, which, uh, no?
