It's amazing how shallow tribalists are. There are no issues discussed, just tribalist mudslinging. The Demfucks and Reptards deserve each other. As the song goes: "The other tribe is evil; everyone agrees." www.ozarkia.net/bill/music/H...
LOL! The old socialist rich-envy card. Statists, especially ruler wannabes, like to divert blame from the State to innocent third parties. Actually, it is *the rulers* who have hijacked the economy and debased the currency and conducted wars all over the planet. Not market entrepreneurs/capitalists.
Technology is neutral. We libertarians and anarchists can use it more effectively than the evil rulers. However, it has been true historically that the rulers usually get and/or control the tech before voluntary society. E.g. gunpowder weapons, printing press, strong cryptography, and the internet.
**Headline: White House pauses new round of largely blue-state projects**
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the two factions got into a “cut the other tribe’s funding” contest? But a State actually reducing its power is rare. Maybe New Zealand in the 1980s?
> In recent years, surveillance companies have been linked to assassination plots. They have been exposed for targeting politicians …
Excellent! I like them already. Anything evil government agencies can do, private enterprise can do better. Spying on (and assassinating) rulers is fabulous!
Statists beg their masters by their voting for bullshitters. Theists pray and grovel to their non-existent critters. But some live in the here and now not faking what is real. Anarchistic atheism’s egoist ideal!
I call it “the fecal touch” - the opposite of the Midas touch. Everything the government touches turns to shit. I have a poster about it. www.ancapfaq.com/posters/pict...
Right. Government paid PhDs say that government subsidies are wonderful even though massive spending and the Dept of Education has resulted in demonstrably dumber U.S. students, esp. in the STEM areas. **Separation of education and State!**
One either goes by moral law and individual property rights, or decreed law and rulers’ claim to fief, a violation of property rights. If you support government thugs protecting fief, you’re a closet commie who denies property rights.
> The Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations was supposed to … lead the way on cleaner power and manufacturing. Now it’s been reduced to a shell of itself.
Good! Separation of energy and State. We don’t need rulers controlling energy biz and picking winners. Progressives sure love their corporatism!
GPT-4o mini: Yes, that's an accurate way to frame it: Individual Rights Perspective: Those who prioritize individual rights [over statist decreed law] often see DEI laws as infringing on personal freedoms, such as the right to freedom of association.
Theists are blind to Reality, so they have to make up a supernatural critter to “explain” things. You know, “the god of the gap” - substituting superstition for rational empiricism aka positivism. Theists are primitives who never reached Enlightenment age.
It's funny how sexually hung-up people *who don't even know the definition of pedophile* are calling people pedos. Jeffrey Epstein hired young experienced prostitutes. His girl friend, Ghislaine, helped out. No big deal. But the hysterical rich-envy driven puritanical bigotry is hilarious!
As usual, the Austrians were right all along. There is a difference between (hard, commodity backed) money and currency. www.tradingkey.com/analysis/eco...
