Do they want vigilantism?

Rolex. Evincing pathological narcissism or psychopathy.

That’s expensive. Rotten eggs will do.

There are many reasons to dread the future. An opportunity to watch the destruction of Florida is not one of them.

Yes but it would inconvenience him. And inconveniencing him is worth the money.

He sounds reasonable to me.

That’s the fun part: they were never ancaps at all! Even that incorrect conclusion would have required reading and curiosity.

Yes. Why not? Countries are made up, and people are real.

I’m not surprised you have this opinion, though. Humans are literally animals and most of them have no capacity for abstract reasoning let alone moral deliberation. They can build things like airplanes, but they don’t know why. They enjoy art, but they don’t know how. They feel, but can’t begin to analyze let alone understand their own dumb emotions.

Most humans are a cosmic joke (or maybe a horror) meant to keep the rest of us humble. And you’re a prime example of that.

Cultism is such a potent tendency of the human animal that new cults form spontaneously in the absence of established mythologies (or despite them). Fascism is a cult phenomenon, for instance, and the people vulnerable to such belief systems are unerringly broken in the same way that religious people are broken. It’s like someone scooped out the part of their brains responsible for maintaining epistemic norms and replaced it with oatmeal.

Russian disinformation bots do express opinions I guess, so you have a point.

Another Russian shill. Damn this place is infested.

Now I know you’re a Russian shill. What an insane claim.

In the US, maybe. But that’s considered a flawed democracy and getting worse all the time. Only 8% of the nations on earth are full democracies, a number that continues to fall because of the pessimism and stupidity promulgated by authoritarian regimes.

Exactly. There’s plenty is salad available, but that’s not what I choose. And what is this fantasy that it’s expensive to eat healthy? Legumes are literally 1/1000th the cost of beef per calorie. Yet people choose meat, because it’s delicious. Then they die of chronic illness. Instead of making fun of ourselves for being totally predictable dumb apes, we write these ridiculous articles.

Damn, we are living the meme in real time!

Hello, fellow morons. Left and right libertarians are natural allies. If your edification reflected even the tiniest fraction of the intensity of your convictions, you’d already know this. Yet here we are — at the mercy of authoritarians, because of hypothetical disagreements about owning the means of production. Joke’s on us. While anarcho-capitalists and anarcho-socialists quibble over theory, the Religious authoritarians and the Tankies are building gulags.

Books banned, women and children forced to give birth against their will, total depredation of the environment, oligopoly, corruption, conspiracy theories, propaganda, and fascism. But sure, let’s argue about how libertarians are the true enemy. Fucking dumb-dumbs.

I don’t think that’s quite right, because there’s no instruction associated with spreading lies about someone. You don’t have to say “you should attack this person based on this [random lie]” to be guilty of libel. The lie itself causes the bad consequences that now make you guilty.

“As a German, I find myself groaning when I see this discussion come up. Conspiracy theorists are not rational. If fascists could be swayed by facts and reason, they would not believe what even the most minor bit of fact checking would disprove. Allowing them to spew their nonsense freely or join a coalition won’t disabuse them of their notions; it will help them seek and build echo-chambers and become further radicalized.We see the echo chamber effect on every online platform. Whether or not the holocaust happened, for example, is not a matter of opinion, it is a matter of fact. You’re entitled to your own opinion, but you are not entitled to your own facts. Making up your own facts is called lying. And when your lies are so malicious and harmful that they actually pose a threat to other people or the nation itself, then yes, that should absolutely be punishable. It’s no different than slander or libel.

“What value is there to allowing holocaust denial? Serious question. And I don’t mean appealing to the slippery slope of how it leads to other worse prohibitions. There’s a lot of arguing for Free Speech for its own sake - that Free Speech is the highest virtue in and of itself that must never, ever be compromised, for any reason, and that this should be self-evident. But I ask, what’s the harm in not allowing holocaust denial, specifically? What is the benefit in allowing it? There is none. Nothing good will ever come out of someone spewing holocaust denial. Ever. You won’t get a thoughtful debate beneficial to both parties. They’re wrong, simple as that. The “best” outcome you’ll get out of it is that you can convince a denier or someone on the fence that they’re wrong. Great. The best outcome involves suppressing it. There are, however, a hell of a lot potentially bad consequences in that their stupidity can infect others and shift the Overton window their way.

“The reason that the majority of modern Germans look at the Nazi flag and feel nothing but revulsion whereas a sizable portion of US southerners actually fly the confederate flag and defend it (Heritage, not hate, or It was about states’ rights, not slavery, or Slaves weren’t treated so bad) is that Germans were forbidden from telling each other comforting lies about their past."

What a lying sack of shit. Go ask a Chinese person about Carl Marx.

China’s economic system is authoritarian capitalism. Why are you defending them with CCP propaganda?

Are you aware that Carl Marx and socialist literature is censored and banned in China?

I’m going to choose to believe you’re a bot and just block you now. Thanks.

How is a family spending their money on an apartment they now won’t receive “a millionaire that is not a billionaire”? Not to mention, China loves billionaires. They have more of them than the US. It’s a fascistic shithole.
