Everyone thinks, don't be stupid. Cognitive dissonance is strong, but people who believe silly things can absolutely be intelligent, and they absolutely think.
Absolutely. Libertarians often think about the age of consent and how arbitrary it is
Libertarianism creates an anti-reality barrier in the Anglo brainpan, preventing coherent thought. Taxatiom is theft, exploitation and greed are good, me and my rifle will defeat the "tyrants" (the entire US military), I'll survive the bad times on a bucket of beans in a cabin.
I spent far too much time engaging with them in the past so I could explain their line of thought but it's not really worth it because everything they say is just a word game with zero relation to reality.
Wage labor is """voluntary""" because you can choose where to work, "taxation is theft" because you can't opt out of it, and everything is slavery and SV except for actual slavery and SV, which is fine
even the Libbest Libs can gangster own them in debate.
They literally got owned by a journalist like not even a poster
Paying taxes to build roads
Paying a mandatory fee to build roadsOne always has to question the genuineness of that kind of criticism, it seems to just be bad faith or plain stupidity. How is working for the government any more slavery-like than working for a big company?
Sartre quote?
Sartre quote.
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
When the government does stuff, that's socialism. And socialism is bad. So the government doing things is bad.
Q.E.D.
help! help! thy noble Sir Libertarian! mine lord hath taken mine grain, he forces me to mason upon this house of learning!
"doth thee not live on thy lord's land, hath thee not made oaths to thine Lord? tis' godly to obey and serve he to whom you are sworn!"
It's slavery forced upon them to not be able to monopolize those things and charge ridiculous sums for the bare minimum of service, What else are you gonna do? build your own hospital?
, not cabins!
