It's so strange. When I was young, beign in favour of free speech was completely non-controversial.
Today, when I say I am in favour of free speech, I'm thought to be an extremist and I get asked... what about terrorists, sex abuse, racism, crime.
Absolutely fascinating how something as obvious and good as free speech has become an extremist position in just a decade or so.
Some micronation should really pick up on this and launch themselves as an information haven, just like in the book

on them by the government.
At the end of the day, this come down to individual, subjective values, or else we would by now, have settled one form of government.
You seem to value socialism higher.
How to you reconcile the fact that taxation is theft if steal from you. But if I put on a government hat, it is ok?
Or it is illegal for me to kill you, but if I put on a government hat, and invent a good reason, it is ok.
That is basically governments in a nutshell

national socialist governments. The fact that people die, unless they were put to death by the government, has nothing to do with how ethical a given system is, as long as the government is not the one doing the killing.
Since many low income earners are lock into their bad jobs for life, with little upwards mobility in europe, due to the high taxes, which makes saving and becoming rich very difficult, it can be argued that they die due to hard work which was forced

Socialist societies like europe are built on violence and unethical behaviour such as stealing to fund politicians salaries and social "safety" nets. The result is that people become wage slaves, forced to work to fund the pyramid scheme. Pyramid schemes are illegal unless governments do it.
The US is not a perfect libertarian country, far from it, but way better than europe.
People die, and that is life. People have died in everything from no government, to

Death is part of life. Your individual experience is not enough to throw a data or freedom over board.
I have lived in the US, and I have studied a lot.
I think the best study guide I can give you that explains why the US is so great, is Johan Norbergs The Capitalist Manifesto.
There you will learn that we live in a golden age.
You will also learn that freedom has nothing to do with anyone never dieing. It has to do with being free.

So death, or suicide or gun violence, might or might not be higher, but the society based on tax burden, is way more ethical in the US since it by that very fact, makes people less slaves, than in europe.
There is a very wise saying you should think about... "live free or die".

2024-07-07 11:33:13

That is an unethical society. An ethical society can only be based on free, informed, consent, and even though the US is far from that today, the US is in infinitely better shape than europe from that point of view.

Dieing in the street can be ok. The key question is, do they die as socialist wage slaves or as free? I'd rather die free than live as a slave, because without freedom, true happiness can never be possible.
When you say social safety net, what you _really_ say is that you like other people to be forced to work for you, so that you can enjoy life. You are making other people your slaves to fund your life.

Like Phoenix it will rise from the ashes.
Maybe in its next reincarnation the party will be more libertarian and less clownish?
Libertarianism is what europe need unless it wants to die the death of socialism by over regulation, and just become a tourist resort for the rest of the world.

True. I think we've been down this path before. What to fill the libertarian void (value-void) with?
Hedonism, epicureanism, stoicism, nihilism, etc. all valid answers. Some better than others in my opinion. This is also another weakness about libertarianism.
I imagine it is hard to only keep to the market, personal values will creep in especially if you act on the modern political arena. Since libertarianism does _not_

Someone, some day might find the key to creating a big libertarian party, but I think that for that to happen, living conditions in the west need to either reach soviet living conditions, so that people literally accept anything else, or some libertarian genius needs to do things a lot differently from how politics is done and explained to the public today.

the tax payer foot the bill. Literally their survival is tied to socialism.
Since libertarians tend to be productive people, their livelihood is not tied to the party, which means that usually the party remains forever small and will almost always never have any influence.

I would argue that libertarianism hasn't even had the chance to fix this.
One weakness of libertarianism is its inherent difficulty to organize. By its nature it attracts strong personalities and people who have more important things to do than to waste their lives with politics.
Contrast that with socialism, the most egoistic of ideologies, where the participants see it as a road to live like billionaires and having

Tax is theft, and thus impossible to justify ethically.
But maybe you are an evil person Dicey? If so, you are at least consistent in your beliefs even though they are morally revolting.

A divergence! Wealth transfer must be allowed or else all motivation to work, save and develop is lost.
That's why socialism collapses, no wealth allowed, so no point in doing anything.

That's an interesting observation too. When many young people start to work many discard socialism. I think another protection could be increasing the voting age to 20 or 25 to make sure you have enoug life experience.
Alternatively, only people who work get to vote, and if you live off the government, you are not allowed to vote.
With those two changes I think the support of socialism would be cut in half.

It's an interesting theory, that the reason socialism keeps popping up, is due to weaknesses of the brain.
Envy is probably the backdoor through which socialism slips, and greed and narcissism on behalf of the socialist leaders. They exploit the envy of the working classes to satisfy their own greed and lust for power.
Makes you wonder... if therapy and psychology was "100%" would socialism die out as the human race becomes

Science and logic: check mises.org and economics. Nothing support communism, and verything supports the markets and capitalism.
Even the communist party of china has embraced the market.
History: Every attempt has failed. Period.
Some other points: Due to the inherent limits of the physical universe and how information travels and is processed, only decentralized decision making

Yes, I would add the irrational. I can for the life of me not understand that that ism still lives.
It has been thoroughly disproven scientifically, historically and logically, so any rational human being should be completely aware of the fact that it does not, and will never, work.
Yet, it still pops up every where, especially in academia in europe.
Yes, maybe it is a kind of mental illness or mind virus?

Another one? Haha, those walls of texts are completely meaningless communist propaganda.
As I explained, he is a mentally ill clown, so I don't even read his ramblings any longer.
I'm just interested in triggering him and you as often as possible to see how much time you will both waste arguing with someone who has already won the argument. =)

Running? I just find it fascinating that you keep sending a wall of text without any meaning. But we've already found out that you are mentally ill, so I should be surprised. =)

Why would I back my claims? You are just a clown, and I don't take you seriously, so my goal here is to make you lose as much time as possible arguing with me. =)

Yep, terrorist and child killers who have infiltrated UN. UN thereby is guilty by association and should be abolished as well.
