Libertarian Discussion Thread II - Don't Thread on Me

Postby Great Minarchistan » Sat Jun 09, 2018 7:17 pm

Libertarian Discussion Thread
Second Edition
Shitty Title Puns Ever Since 1776
Image


Thanks to Honored TLT for the crony-issued permission to finally kickstart the second version of the Libertarian Discussion Thread, after the first one stagnated and advanced awfully slow several times during the two years it lived through. Also, thanks to the LDWT for the format used here this is the price they shall pay for siphoning libertarian posts away from our circlejerk :^).

Since I hate overly prepared megaposts, I'll be fairly straightforward here. TG me for suggestions, polls and also possible partnerships between this thread and your site, server, discord, flying spaghetti dog, whatever.

Previous Versions of the LDT:
LDT I

Relevant/advised talking topics:

  • Libertarian philosophy and theory
  • Libertarian political, economical and societal proposals
  • News and events related to the libertarian cause
  • Current events and libertarian viewpoints on it
  • Historical problems, and libertarian ways to solve them
  • Solutions to the clusterfuck of libertarian cliques and its consequent difficulty of fighting statism :^(

Poll Results:
1. Which group will first bankrupt the United States?
Retirees: 37
Students: 25
"Homeowners": 19
Poor: 18
Total: 99

2. Should the ":^)" smile be banned from this thread?
Yes: 11
Yes: 1
No (implicitly yes): 26
Total: 38

3. What is the best libertarian vice?
Vape: 4
Weed: 13
Anime: 21
Bitcoin: 14
Manlets: 5
Total: 57

4. Who are the main enemies to the libertarian cause?
Welfare queens: 3
Poor people: 7
Politicians: 9
Rich globalists: 7
Communists: 18
Literally all of the above: 14
Total: 58

5. Don't tread on...
me!: 27
y'all!: 5
yourself :^): 8
no u: 22
Total: 62

The Case Against Education (HIGHLY woke)
Bourgeois trilogy


Also Marginal Revolution, Mercatus, EconLog, and Adam Smith Institute should be on the blogroll

While somewhat old, Jerome Tuccille's Radical Libertarianism is a great introductory text.
CYNIC, n. A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be. Hence the custom among the Scythians of plucking out a cynic's eyes to improve his vision.

It's been fairly clear that left-anarchism is just brahmin mad max; even in Rojava the costs of anarchy have been offloaded to the USAF and the unlikeable Arabs. I don't think it is in fact very "libertarian" at all.

If anything, it's "anarcho-tyranny:" you can do as you please unless you do something the cool cigarette-smoking, Bakunin/Beauvoir/Bookchin-reading, totally-not-soldier brahmins don't like, then you are summarily shot for being a reactionary

A state would be an improvement in this case, at least it would be a tyrant you can understand and plan around

Cue the established monopolies (mods) BTFO'ing you for attempting to claim thread ownership, as is natural for right-libertarian societies :^)
