Captain_Maclaine posted:You must be new to Jrod threads. He's notorious for not addressing, well, anything that seriously challenges his feverish delusions. At most you'll get a one-two line handwave about how it either doesn't matter or never would happen in the best of all possible worlds. That's because jrod is correct. His postulates are correct, so his program must work, even when it demonstrably doesn't. Any foolish attempts to prove he is wrong, such as by asserting facts about the world, cannot be met with anything but derision and denial. If and when he is irretrievably proven wrong, as with the NHS analysis, he simply becomes more defiant. This is essentially how all arguments with libertarians work. My libertarian cousin once told me that we don't need new banking regulations in the wake of the Great Recession, because people will simply stop getting their mortgages from the banks who were guilty of fraud. I informed him that this was 2013, and several banks had been fined or settled with the DOJ for fraudulent activity, that BOA was currently being sued, and that in spite of this the 5 largest banks in America own 44% of the industry. He told me I was wrong, and that the government was clearly interfering with people totally shutting the big banks down through boycott and magic.

How about an Ultimate Warrior economy, instead of a Road Warrior economy?

Still more coherent than anything Molyneux and Rothbard have written.

paragon1 posted:If my DRO decides that the cost of resolving things in my favor is too great when measured against potential loss from dealing with my enemy's DRO, and all the DRO's use the same industry standard calculations to reach the same conclusion, what are my alternatives? Sounds like this situation is all your fault. Maybe you should take some personal responsibility! (kill yourself)

Psykmoe posted:The initial DRO world salad claims that organized crime only exists because it gets incentives from the state, such as an easily bribed police force. Since Libertarians believe the state is directly responsible for organized crime, it won't exist in a stateless society, because DROs with only the oversight of...rational actors ( Whoever wrote that has obviously never studied organized crime. Holy poo poo, it has absolutely nothing to do with the existence of police. There is almost no difference between the mafia and a DRO. For that matter, there is virtually no difference between a common street gang- many if which provide their communities with protection, dispute resolution, jobs, limited safety net payments, and basic public goods- and a DRO.

Radbot posted:Lol Hamas is a literal DRO Currently engaging in some market competition with DRO Israel. All of those dead children probably deserved it because they didn't choose to be covered by the more powerful DRO.

Yeah, it isn't like an-cap deserves anything but derision, whether we've been lumping it in with jrod's nonsense or not.

This is what comes to mind every time I hear Libertarians talking about the Minimum Income, or any social programs, really: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3RHnKYNvx8

CrazyTolradi posted:So, all I can take from this thread really is that libertarians are like virgins telling others how they should have sex. FDR dealt with these people too: FDR posted:These millionaires are a funny crowd. They are perfectly willing to go along with lip service to broad objectives, but when you ask them to help put them into effect by any form of practical means, they howl in opposition and decline to suggest any other course. Basically, this is lesson one in dealing with Libertarians.

tbp posted:I think a big part of the problem is the disproportionate influence institutions such as "the banks" and wealthy individuals have on our governmental process, which helps neuter punishment where it is due and enforcement of regulations in times where all seems peachy. It is a complicated story, but there aren't many people here who don't understand what happened.
