You really are a louse...

Here is the new top 10 from the Heritage Institute. No UAE or Qatar in the top 10 so maybe you'll look at the substance of the ranking this time.


1. Hong Kong

2. Singapore

3. New Zealand

4. Switzerland

5. Australia

6. Canada

7. Chile

8. Ireland

9. Estonia

10. United Kingdom

Just for reference next time, let me present an equally relevant/helpful list:

List of Nations That Are NOT Destined for Turbomegadeath posted:

1. Republic of Cuba

2. Iceland

3. Norway

4. Denmark

5. Rojava

6. Sweden

7. United Republic of Tanzania

8. Zapatista territories

9. Freetown Christiania

10. DRPK

As we can see here, the countries NOT destined for turbomegadeath are all socialist, or at least have socialist leaning policies. Therefore, we can LOGICALLY conclude that to avoid the turbomegadeath, we must adopt communism as our form of government.

Please make sure to use the truths revealed in this post to help you make future posts and arguments :keke: thanks!

The real secret is that turbomegadeth is just regular megadeth played at 4x speed.

Correct, and when the free market realizes there is demand for this and creates it, we will all die infinity times forever because we will be overwhelmed with Megadeaths. Planned economies avoid this through taxes to kill innovations that might lead to speeding up Megadeath, and regulations that enslave all music creators so that they may never create a faster Megadeath than we have now.

I have done all the required logic to reach these conclusions. Since this was determined logically, I expect Jrod to explain his support for the turbomegadeath.

Say, is turbomegadeath shorthand for the world rushing to hurl itself off the resource cliff by mindlessly growing our production/consumption/discard economy? Or is it just a general funhouse mirror of libertarian griping about the tyranny of fire extinguisher mandates and vacation days?

Turbomegadeath is a term owned by the collective workers of the world. Any ally of the working class and their struggle against the land owners can use the word to further the revolutionary cause.

(I was annoyed at Jrod just blindly saying Libertarian policies bring happy wondrous joy and statist policies all kill economies forever, and this is all self evident through logic. Thus, I have taken the effort to logically prove Libertarian policies will cause turbomegadeath, and now will casually ask Jrod why he's such a staunch supporter of it)

Semi related to the gamer stuff from earlier, but John Stossel hosting the Libertarian Party primary debate reminded me of my favorite Libertarian line: "I'm not racist. I'd boycott a racist company. I'd call people bad for not boycotting racist companies... But companies should have the right to discriminate. You know... Just cause." No, there's no reason for this. They never have anything they want to do with this new right to discriminate. Nothing would change, we'd all still eat with black folks... But there's this unspoken reason that we really really need to have the right to discriminate just in case we want to. Its a right we never want to use and will apply social aggression to anyone who tries to use that right, but it has to exist on paper.

I'm just saying, for a right that nobody seems to want to use, there's a lot of Libertarian tears from Stossel and Jrod over it.

To recap from before, I provided in this thread a List derived from Logic that reveals to us a startling truth:

Nations NOT Destined for the Turbomegadeath posted:

1. Republic of Cuba

2. Iceland

3. Norway

4. Denmark

5. Rojava

6. Sweden

7. United Republic of Tanzania

8. Zapatista territories

9. Freetown Christiania

10. DRPK

I made this list after disabling my biases and preconceptions and it is therefore Truth. And we see from it that nations that reject the Church of Property Rights's teachings of Capitalism are far less likely to experience Turbomegadeath. I would like to make my closing remark for this thread that I believe we have answered the question posited in the OP; we should care about the Church of Property Rights, because our lives and the lives of everyone we care about depends on us crushing this doomsday cult, and defeating their teachings, before they bring the Turbomegadeath down upon us.

I thank you all for your participation in this thread, and to Jrod I say I look forward to your next theological debate (although I don't know if D&D is the best place for a theology debate?).
