It’s not enough to not understand economics, you also need to lack empathy and self-reflection.
Phew, thank god I understand economics
I prefer to call them “19th century robber barons” who yearn for the days of company towns, where they would own you from cradle to grave.
I love watching them try to explain why it wouldn’t just become neo-fuedalism lmao
Cause they imagine themselves as the Lord and not the Peasants that they currently are in reality.
I misread it as arachnid capitalism, and I was trying to figure out which spiders were apparently pro-capitalism lmao
They are really good at networking.
Yes, exactly that. Ancaps live in a right-wing fantasy world, like the rest of the right.
Aka Pimping your population out to U.S. companies
Cut. It. Out.
Dump. Alanis.
*volcels
Their shitty behavior is what keeps them from getting laid. That makes them volcels.
We have the worst aspect of anarchism, but wait there’s more, we also have capitalism!
What about the roads, who will pay for the roads?
Yesterday I saw a person say that they should all be privatized. Which is so insane I walked away and talked to someone else. Like I’m not going to convince a guy at a bar that his extremist ideology sounds like it wants to create just a godsawful way to live or that our country has tried the whole “minarchism” thing and it was a fucking disaster that led to us creating regulations, roads, etc.
My in-laws live on a private road. They’re the fourth lot down from the main road (for the uninitiated, if your property would block access to another property, then there exists an access easement across your property, and you must allow people - principally the owners - to traverse your property so they can get to theirs). Everyone is responsible for (but not obligated to) maintaining the stretch of road in front of their houses. The first couple houses are owned by folks with a good chunk of change and the road is as nice as it gets. The third house down has never done a thing to their stretch of road and it’s a piece of shit for that little bit. You’re cranking the steering wheel from lock to lock to lock again to avoid holes 6 inches deep. Their house is in a sorry state so there’s not a chance in the world they have the money to fix the road up. My in-laws throw some gravel in the holes from time to time to make things a little easier on themselves.
The municipality can’t/won’t do a thing. They don’t own the road and it’s not like the neighbors are blocking people in or out. The road is only nigh (not completely) impassable.
Someone I know is a libertarian and when I asked how stuff like road maintenance would work on his ideal society, and he was like, “well everyone would pitch in to pay a company to do it.” Ok, so what if someone refuses, are there any mechanisms to penalize them? And who chooses the company and signs the contract and schedules the work? You guys gonna vote for people to do those things? Congrats, you just created government. He also had no real response to what happens if one neighborhood is full of good people willing to pitch in, and the next one says fuck it, we’re not doing any of that, so the roads are great for a mile and are undrivable the next mile.
So yeah, sounds a lot like what your parents are dealing with. Paradise!
Honestly fuck the roads.
Fuck roads! We want an advanced system of High Speed and Light Rail to make roads obsolete for traveling!
That’s all well and good, but you’re gonna need roads for last mile delivery of goods, and a transit path for people that service homes and businesses.
That’s why I qualified my statement by saying obsolete for traveling.
Man, I am so glad “anarchocapitalist” is starting to stick. I can’t believe they got away with the other word for as long as they did.
What other word? Minarchist?
“job creators.”
Great book on Modern Economics Ive been reading, cant recommend it enough!Isn’t that the guy who dated Alanis Morrisette when she was 15 and he was thirty something? Don’t pretend he isn’t a fucking loser too.
He claims the song wasn’t about him, and she refuses to confirm or deny it.See the comment below, my memory sucks.
Correct I di
incels who suck
FTFY
Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure I learned at school that you can use “that” for everything, “who” for people and “which” for things
