Socialism is immoral and does not work. People who think it does are ignorant.
Pedophilia is not a crime guys. Semantics is important.
Fun post history
Libertarians are just edgy white teenagers that never got the ass beating that they deserve.
I mean, you have a significant population of people who believe that society is a lie, other people are only a burden, and we have no responsibility to each other. No wonder the US is turning into the thunderdome and we have droves of suburban mayos blowing away everyone in sight.
We have evidence through the bones of ancient humans that "less advanced" societies provided long term care for disabled members of their group. It never ceases to amaze me that modern libertarians want to make society more savage than these "primitive" societies.
If I remember right, some of the earliest dated signs of "civilization" we've found are skeletal remains where a broken bone was set and allowed to properly heal. Even in the very beginning, the thing that first set us apart as more than apes with fire, was devoting resources to care for people who weren't able to produce those resources themselves, even if just for a time in that example
Totally. in a very real sense, "inhumanity" as a descriptor for the kind of society that libertarians want isn't just a metaphor. They want us to be less than human.
All the while, they think it's the opposite, assuming they actually buy into the whole "capitalism is human nature" line. It's the kind of thing that really makes me think about the concept of "re-education". I know it's a meme most of the time it gets brought up, but at the end of the day, something has to be done with people like that. And executing everyone to the right of an arbitrary line definitely isn't it lol
Totally! I've re-educated myself, come to think about it, and I'd I be dumb to think that the process is over. I'm sure there are still plenty of :brainworms: lurking around in my noggin, just waiting to pop out and surprise me.
For sure, I still sometimes react to something the way my old :LIB: self would have, and have to stop myself and re-evaluate things
And executing everyone to the right of an arbitrary line definitely isn’t it lol
it can be :shrug-outta-hecks:
I mean I definitely have no tears to shed for dead fascists, and I have no qualms about it when it comes to people taking up arms to harm people or prevent a revolution. But in a post-revolutionary context (especially in the US), there's going to be millions of people who hold those beliefs, or ones like them, who just didn't want to or couldn't fight for them. Those are the ones I mean, those who are objectively reactionary, but who don't pose a direct or imminent threat to people or the transitional state. Idk if the answer is "re-education camps" or a cultural revolution, or what, but there's something that can be done in that situation.
I remember reading an article about how a disabled person in prehistory died from being overfed with figs. The body was buried with care, the archaeologists painted a picture that this disabled person was cared for, but they did nothing but feed them figs, like all their teeth were rotted out and they were relatively young. The person couldn’t walk, they weren’t a child, this prehistoric community went out of its way to feed a disabled person figs until they died. I guess figs made them happy idk? I just always found it funny,
That's a hell of a way to go! I'm so curious about why they did that. I love reading about archaeology, but I feel like I always just end up with more questions that will never get answered. Or we may think we know the answer, but we're totally off base, Motel of the Mysteries style.
yeah but how do you know those disabled group members didn't PAY FOR that care through some sort of insurance coverage plan like a RESPONSIBLE ADULT
blah, blah people aren't entitled to your productivity
Except for rich people, I'm sure.
stupid baby can't even operate a cash register why should i take care of it
i hope he collapses in the street and the passersby decide that he isnt worth the energy of CPR. he isnt entitled to my labor!
I hope he raises his daughter with the same "values" and she dumps his ass in a state run nursing home because he isn't entitled to any of her productivity.
state run nursing home b
Idk that sounds like a service provided by the productive to the unproductive who cant afford it.
She should honor his wishes by simply dumping his geriatric ass in a ditch or push him out to sea.
Taxation (mass theft) is not the cost of a civilized society. It's the cost you pay for not living in a civilized society.
:data-laughing:
Lambos are the ultimate cross section of 'what a poor person thinks that a rich person wants' and 'what a person who knows shit about cars thinks that a car enthusiast wants'.
I legit want a car that if it was ever hit or needed repairs would cost me a separate car loan /s
wasnt it invented by a tractor manufacturer cos he got pissed at ferrari oslt?
Not usually a fan of these long screenshots from stormfront but this dude really put his whole ass out there huh. So sad how many people have “logic”d and “reasoned” themselves into just being myopically selfish. What a sad way to live.
"I will do it, but I don't have to, so therefore the universe where I don't matters just a much as the universe where I will"
What's the effective difference between being morally obligated to do it while doing it and just doing it because you feel like it's wrong and it's your daughter and you feel you should take care of her despite your moral duty? It's the same thing you pedant.
What they really mean is that they want to win an internet argument so we all have to pretend that it's an important distinction. Sorry loser, you're wrong. Deal with it.
"Um actually that's an ad hominem and ...'
Ad hominem is an informal fallacy. Which means it doesn't matter. You can be logical and insult someone. You fucking dork. QED. Dwelling on informal fallacies means dick all. The structure of my argument is sound even if you don't like the content.
"You can't just call me a dumbass, laugh at me, and move on with your life... that's an ad hominem"
my daughter aren’t entitled to my productivity
Bruh, even the most unhinged l*bertarian understands that kids are long term investment hence why you should take care of them
Yeah it's actually amazing that he walks past the obvious idiot libertarian argument into an even dumber and objectively falsifiable argument.
"My daughter isn't morally entitled to my productivity" can be tested by not providing food and basic necessities to his daughter and seeing how the authorities and courts react. Spoilers: by locking him up.
most libertarians are just modern sophists or psychopaths who still haven't act on their impulses
I disagree that the courts enforcing it makes it moral obligation. In this case it's a moral obligation as parenthood implicitly carries with it responsibilities because you having created this person now have to care for them.
It really does start looking like a mental disorder the more you get to know actual libertarians. I can understand people who don't trust the government, want to live off the land, and haven't really put much thought into what all that deregulation and privatization would actually mean for a society. It's the people who have thought about it and genuinely do not give a fuck how much suffering their belief system would cause if put into practice that worry me.
Remember that one tweet about a libertarian who only stopped being a libertarian once he got high and realized other people have feelings
It's holding up everything against "freedom" without ever actually defining what freedom is because that's too much thinking
It's Petit-Bourgeois ideology. 90% of society is structured to advantage you, but because there's a guy ahead of you who uses that remaining 10% to keep himself ahead of you, you're a victim of the entire system.
Agreed. The committed ones is like sociopathy made ideological
Treading the same piss that's been pissed for decades.
Calling things strawmen after his shitty take is taken to its logical conclusion.
Possible child abuse after doubling down on aforementioned logical conclusion.
Ah, I see, a libertarian. It's probably still early in the morning, he hasn't had a chance to feed his (presumably caged) daughter and consult his poster of logical fallacies.
Apparently a post history defending paedophilia too... That poor kid.
