Libertarians cannot be parodied harder than they parody themselves.
If someone doesn't care enough for their baby to feed it, they would simply sell their baby on the baby market to somebody with a use for it. Checkmate commies
Hasn't some libertarian ”intellectual” said that there'd be a marketplace for children in a truly free market?
Murray Rothbard, yes. The guy who coined the term, "anarcho-capitalism."
"the purely free society will have a flourishing free market in children".
"the existence of a free baby market will bring such 'neglect' down to a minimum"
I would be very interested to know why they think that would be any better then our current adoption system. You can already give up an infant, and there's a wait list a mile long. What's going to make abusive parents suddenly realize "you know what, I should give up my baby". Because I've known a lot of uh, not great parents who just continue to have them.
To everyone's surprise, abusive pieces of shit don't really care about their victims.
Yeah but they'd care about money, and I assume the idea here is that they literally sell the babies to people who want them. With no restrictions or necessary background checks. I see no way this could possibly backfire and turn into some kind of dystopian hellscape, after all, when has that ever happened under Capitalism? \s
Real world consequences are irrelevant for libertarians, all that matters is that they come up with some answer that satisfies their absurd logic game constructs. The walking embodiments of “the means justify the ends.”
Murray Rothbard. And he wasn’t just a “libertarian intellectual”. If libertarians had their own Five Heads, he would probably be on it.
He wasn't a libertarian intellectual because itnellect is the dump stat for libertarians.
So is charisma and wisdom. They pump it all into luck. If they succeed due to luck, they create more libertarians saying the system works better the way they did it. If they don't succeed, well, they die poor and alone but won't be famous enough to dissuade future libertarians
this high margin baby futures derivatives speculative asset bubble is actually the most efficient system of distributing babies
Used to be if you wanted to sell baby futures, you just had to invest in coal.
Every time I see opinions from libertarians, they sound like parodies of libertarians.
If you talk with some you will learn real quick that a lot of them are also parodies of humans as well.
Yeah I'm sure the species will be super well off for killing it's babies. Very smart and normal.
The dead ones are probably the lucky ones in this situation.
If they believe parental neglect of children should be permitted, then there would be orders of magnitude more children who end up malnourished, developmentally stunted, and abused, but not to the point of dying 🎉
You'd see twice as many instances of chained up 17 year olds who have seen the sun twice and eaten nothing besides dry store brand corn flakes their entire life. Or sold to their local libertarian warlord or meth dealer.
Even the ones that manage to become an independent adult will have severe traumas and extreme difficulties integrating into society. How big is the problem where the state takes a child away that shouldn't have been? Just another right wing weirdo who sees children as property of their parents.
Even capitalists would tell you that Kids are not disposable because they are “a long term investment “ hence why you have to invest in their education for the betterment of the machine.
Lolbertarians are just final stage debate pervs and have the stupidest takes because they are brave rnough to look unhinged in public
Me, Satan, introducing my 2 friends at the party under a chandelier of baby skulls: "Unbridled Personal Freedom, meet Fascism." My two hands grab each other and pretend to handshake.
Heads so empty it’s like Capitalist Zen. Freed from all the rationalisations and lies. They can channel the true essence of Capitalism - nothing but pure pitiless void
I have an iota more respect for this flavor of ghoul for at least not wasting my time with ego-defending pretenses, like liberals do
Well, not really respect so much as appreciation
So they have finally started fantasizing about controverted scenarios where they can justify killing babies. I wonder what comes next.
Can't we just give these guys an island? we must have another gruinard island that hasn't been decontaminated yet
Just make sure you can't land a plane there and surround it with mines
today i learned:The Dark Harvest Commando of the Scottish Citizen Army (DHC) was a militant group which in 1981 demanded that the British government decontaminate Gruinard Island, a site which had been used for anthrax weapon testing during World War II. They distributed on the mainland potentially anthrax-laden soil.[1][2]
The group identified itself as "Dark Harvest Commando" and claimed to include a "team of microbiologists from two universities" in Scotland. In a message to the Glasgow Herald, the group said they had landed on the island with the aid of local people and removed 300 lb (140 kg) of soil contaminated with anthrax spores, to be placed around the UK.[3][4]
The group placed a container of soil outside the Chemical Defence Establishment at Porton Down in Wiltshire.[5] Five days later, a second container of soil was placed at Blackpool, a resort town where the Conservative Party was holding a conference presided over by
.[4] The first container was found to contain Bacillus anthracis (the causative agent of anthrax), while the second was uncontaminated but of the same soil type as found on the island.[6] At the end of the year, the group announced they would take no further action through a message pinned to the doors of the Scottish Office in Edinburgh.[4] Gruinard Island was eventually decontaminated in 1986.[4]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Harvest_Commando
