re: Libertarians...Is there a line that can be drawn?

Its right there in your face. You just said it. Go ahead. Laws without a mechanism for enforcement equals no laws.
Who said there's no mechanism for enforcing laws? If you're actually interested in learning about this kind of view, check out anything you can from David Freidman....among many others. I can get into the weeds if you like, but what will happen is that every single critique you have of anarcho-capitalism, government has done magnitudes worse. Stomping of liberty being the biggest one. Again, though, just look up articles or whatever you can on private law.
The Brehon Law in Ancient Ireland is great to read about, and Freidman has done a ton of writing on private law in old Iceland.

Why? BTW, that definition you just posted is wrong. It's just no rulers. Laws would still exist. security forces would still exist. Nobody claims there wouldn't be some forms of coercion in an ancap society...just not institutionalized from a central "authority".
Ancaps don't deny human nature. We know there is no utopia, because man is flawed and resources are limited.
Most other people do reject human nature by thinking politicians/government is the best way to "organize society". If you take just a few steps back, you'll see how insane that view truly is.

People have been indoctrinated to believe "anarchy" means "chaos". I used to be one of them...and now I'm an anarchist. Anarco-capitalist, to be more precise.
That's the North Star. I understand that it will not happen, but every step towards it is a step in the right direction.

With tens of millions of dollars on the line, why can't other coaches figure this out, specifically that thief Brian Kelly.
I wonder what these "researchers" determined are "conspiracy theories"?
That's what I thought. Facts are conspiracy theories to these retards.

When researchers asked people about conspiracy theories, like whether the science behind global warming has been invented or distorted, or whether experiments with new drugs are routinely carried out on the public without their knowledge or consent
That's what I thought. Facts are conspiracy theories to these retards.
These people are fricking lunatics. Maybe these places can just call them male and female bathrooms instead of men's and women's.
Even then I don't like it, because that's bending the knee to these freaks.

Well, they are going to have to do it old school style w/ knives and bow and arrows. Those retards got rid of their guns.
re: Does the United States government solve problems or make them?
Posted by stuntman on 12/11/25 at 5:43 am to Errerrerrwere
It makes problems. It's run by psychopaths, so we're already off to a bad start. Then, let's just pretend that they are angels. It is impossible...a mathematical impossibility that they can know best how to allocate resources. Lastly, by government "taking care" of so many things, it takes the onus "off" of most people to help their communities directly, because now most people think "government should take care of that".
The bigger the government, the smaller the individual.

He was one of the votes to overturn the Chevron Deference. Apparently he fricking hates the regulatory state, which is awesome.
Weirdly enough, his mom was the one who argued for Chevron Deference back in the day.

Perverted Law Causes Conflict
"As long as it is admitted that the law may be diverted from
its true purpose—that it may violate property instead of protecting it—then everyone will want to participate in making the law,
either to protect himself against plunder or to use it for plunder.
Political questions will always be prejudicial, dominant, and allabsorbing. There will be fighting at the door of the Legislative
Palace, and the struggle within will be no less furious."- Frederic Bastiat, The Law
The next paragraph fricking stings
quote:
"Is there any need to offer proof that this odious perversion
of the law is a perpetual source of hatred and discord; that it
tends to destroy society itself? If such proof is needed, look at
the United States [in 1850]. There is no country in the world
where the law is kept more within its proper domain: the protection of every person’s liberty and property. As a consequence
of this, there appears to be no country in the world where the
social order rests on a firmer foundation.
Yes, I know the civil war happened a little over a decade later, but he even said that slavery would end up causing strife.
Anyway, the strife is almost entirely because the Left wants to constantly take from people and control them and the right just wants to be left the frick alone. Very simplified version, but that's the root of it.

What a tough question. Tons of variables. Absolutely no way I'm taking the time to make an informed opinion on this, so I'll just go w/ the totally uniformed opinion; Texas.

In Young’s framework (and in Marxist or neo-Marxist surplus theories more broadly), surplus is not a moral judgment. It’s an analytical description of how production works. Labor creates more value than the wages workers are paid. The difference becomes profit, rent, dividends, etc.
Labor doesn't create value. This is what we're trying to tell you this whole time. The premise is flawed from the start. Structures are horrible if their foundation is weak, which is what's happening here, imo.
Like the poster above said, you're trying to put lipstick on a pig.
There is no "surplus extraction". Businesses wouldn't exist w/o profits, so that paid labor wouldn't exist in the first place. No moral judgements, just the reality.
That said, awesome discussion. Glad you started the threat, Cubbie, and I hope you do extremely well on your dissertation. :cheers:
