Pretty sure "teenager" used to be slang.

lets campaign for autist to become official

fuck that, just keep using it until oxford is forced to make if official

the free market is a beautiful thing

I mean I would say most pony servers and communities have a higher number of aspies compared to the normal population

And most pony communities I know are very right leaning.

dude what

guys...

if you've got numbers that differ from mine, I'd happily hear them

I guessing that comes from that they are easyer to get to follow your maddnes

@Nordhand if my beliefs are madness, I'd hate to be sane.

i made a phone call

Hitler was a left wing socialist, change my mind.

nah

hitler was literally Stalin
Change my mind

were they ever in the same room together?

I mean a national socialist german worker's party that took control of industry and the economy isn't a left wing party?

Maybe they were the same person

i meant, nah i won't change your mind

so you agree?

pretty much

I think this is the best political compass

the bottom one, I mean

yeah

the right is about less government

or that is how i always saw it

I find this is the most internally consistent method to measure politics.

I find that "left wing libertarian" is a meme

yeah

wait

anarchism is a right wing thing?

it implys cooperation i guess? @AiarUther

that doesn't seem right someone help <:thronk:441701565607444482>

We don't need roads where we're going baby

Anyone that stands in my way will have a taste of sweet freedom

@King Canuck well think of it as a scale with less government control on one side and more government control on the other

Ancap really is the only real anarchism

I guess that makes sense

Let's go to real anarchism

slab city

let's do it

what can go wrong

It's called Autism economics

when did I advocate anarchism?

I'm more of a hard libertarian

I'm hard, hard for freedom

~~Especcially around pony porn~~

;;;;)

I think the social aspect of politics confuses things

I don't see why

just leave people alone

i'm talking about the scale

it really just comes down to more or less government

well I see controlling spending is as authoritarian as controling other aspects

if I'm a government and demand that people can only buy government approved books, is that an economic or a social issue?

that's an authoritarian issue

but is it economic or social?

i don't see why that matters

Well I'd say it's both

i would agree

and that economic and social issues are intertwined

I mean if I demand people only believe in one religion, that can become an economic issue

as you're not allowed to make choices based on other religions

even buying choices

that is an issue of authoritarianism like i already said

therefore I think a single axis graph is fine

so we agree?

I wonder if I could make a quiz based on that graph

probably

although it must be hard to come up with the right questions

I mean I get stumped on "gay marriage" questions

you can use the same questions probably, just eliminate the other axis

not because I don't think gays can't get married, I just don't think marriage is a dominion of the government

"should gays be allowed to be married?"

yeah, there are a few questions like that

where i dont think it's a political issue

well er, if they have a fancy party where they confess their love for each other, then I won't stop them

if they want to sign some contract joining their resources, then why not

sure if they want to pay the more taxes you get from beein married. and let the church deside if they want to do that crap, dont force them

Well there should be no tax difference between being married or unmarried

i just want the government out of virtually everything

people should not be able to push their personal agendas like that

Even if I agree that taxation must exist, it's not to be used to encourage behaviours

agreed

at least where I live, getting married makes your taxed rise as they will combine the income of the household, it a stupid system

the only government involvement might be in ensuring the contract is abided by

yup

basically just the military and the courts, and maybe some other things but i'm not sure

so basically to send police when one partner steals all the money

Well I believe the main job of the government is contract enforcement and property protection

but even that last one can be done by me owning a gun

agreed

entitlement programs were the worst thing that ever happened to this country imo

what do you mean?

like welfare?

basically

Wealth distribution is definitely not the government's job

or anyone's job
