Wow, this is grade A meme material. These guys are like the arch-libertarian :cryptocurrency: heads. I'm still watching it, but hoping to get a bit of discussion here.

One thing that is constantly annoying me though is they keep being like "They're anarchists! But not like... those anarchists" *shows a clip of ancoms fighting Pigs. To have Ancaps be treated as more serious of an ideology than actual anarchism is pretty absurd and annoying.

    Haven't seen it but there is definitely a current within crypto circles that is working to fully coopt "anarchist" and to use it in place of "libertarian". Yes they are clowns but they're effective and dangerous clowns with shit loads of money to throw at it.

      Watching the show, I gotta say it's clear how deeply ridiculous people these are. They love this town in Mexico because it has private busses. They essentially do bullshit jobs to live in an idle way in this random beach town and then call it "Real anarchic living". Without the local proles doing the actual work of keeping the town alive, without the infrastructure put there by the government of Mexico, without the literal tourist rental houses, they would probably starve.

      I happened to be watching a video about the poverty alleviation in China right before rhis and the stark difference in approaches to government is just too much to handle (not that these people have any serious approach)
