    Didn't he make an "open borders" comic book in collaboration with some sort of lolbertarian economist that keeps posting cringe on twitter? What's up with that?

      "Open borders" is a stupid and narrow manufactured talking point -- much better to interrogate the historical, legal, and sociopolitical concept and function of borders themselves -- but in itself there's nothing to it that's inherently problematic.

      I also honestly couldn't tell you what a standard "libertarian" talking point about open borders would even be except for them wanting unrestricted flow of opiates.

        That's lame but it is fucked up that capital can cross borders but workers can't :shrug-outta-hecks:

        I'm actually banned on twitter, so I depend on r/SneerClub to keep me updated on all the gastly "rationalist" drama. The guy is apparently an antimasker now among other silly and offensive stuff he came up with.

          Was there something particular you meant to link? I just get the reddit search results for Bryan Caplan.

          It did give me this though so thanks for the laugh.

          Imagine picking Jorge "1975" Orwin to be the socialist you oppose in a capitalism vs. socialism argument.

            Shit. I meant to link only search hits on r/SneerClub. Not sure how to do that.

            As for Orwell thing I think he also has written an article about how Spanish anarchists sucked. Yep, here it is. The Anarcho-Statists of Spain, lmao.

              (using new reddit ui) Starting at https://www.reddit.com/r/SneerClub/

              When you type something into the search bar and hit enter it takes you to the results page, yeah, and there should be a bar just below the buttons for "Best results" etc. that says "Show results from r/XxXxXXXX" to get here.

              And yes I see the yikes tweets now lol
