remember, nationalising something means that it'll be kept on life support forever

2019-04-19 19:00:58 UTC [Sparta #general]  

i'd rather they just die

2019-04-19 19:03:08 UTC [Sparta #general]  

you know that most people in america illegally were originally in there legally?

2019-04-19 19:03:58 UTC [Sparta #general]  

oh, sure, i agree

2019-04-19 19:04:07 UTC [Sparta #general]  

but focusing on it exclusively is bad optics

2019-04-19 19:11:24 UTC [Sparta #general]  

you need an id to get a job in america?

2019-04-19 19:11:40 UTC [Sparta #general]  

huh

2019-04-19 19:12:07 UTC [Sparta #general]  

in the UK the way it works is we give the workplace people our national insurance number

2019-04-19 19:12:20 UTC [Sparta #general]  

which is explicitly not id

2019-04-19 19:13:04 UTC [Sparta #general]  

i got a new job last month and i only needed the NI number OMEGALUL

2019-04-19 19:13:48 UTC [Sparta #general]  

"change my mind" is also a meme

2019-04-19 19:13:59 UTC [Sparta #general]  

people say it to stuff where they aren't really expecting a conversation

2019-04-19 19:20:50 UTC [Sparta #general]  

i followed him on twitter at some point but had to unfollow, so annoying

2019-04-19 19:22:19 UTC [Sparta #general]  

sargon has not historically been good at debates

2019-04-19 19:22:32 UTC [Sparta #general]  

winters destroyed him that one time remember

2019-04-19 19:37:29 UTC [Sparta #general]  

"autistic" as a phrase is retarded Keepo

2019-04-19 19:44:59 UTC [Sparta #general]  

propositional logic is glorious

2019-04-19 19:46:25 UTC [Sparta #general]  

i understand, it happens

2019-04-19 20:54:12 UTC [Sparta #general]  

this leftist hate OMEGALUL

2019-04-19 20:58:40 UTC [Sparta #general]  

i'm not sure humans (a social creature) could live without a hierarchy... There is natural parental hierarchy to start with, let alone you can see the hierarchies in nature.

2019-04-19 21:01:05 UTC [Sparta #breaking-news]  

that sounds really r/thathappened

2019-04-19 21:22:52 UTC [Sparta #general]  

lel who needs !agree when manually approved

2019-04-20 14:58:19 UTC [Sparta #general]  

idk 0 hour work weeks are genuinely exploitative imo

2019-04-20 14:58:39 UTC [Sparta #general]  

it's not fair on the person because they never can make any plans

2019-04-20 14:59:58 UTC [Sparta #general]  

well, no one should be desperate enough to have to take a 0 hour work week

2019-04-20 15:00:43 UTC [Sparta #general]  

on-call != 0 hour work week

2019-04-20 15:01:26 UTC [Sparta #general]  

because they exist, there are unfortunate situations were a person has to take that kind of job

2019-04-20 15:02:46 UTC [Sparta #general]  

the answer to 0 hour work weeks isn't communism though, it's stable jobs.

2019-04-20 15:03:54 UTC [Sparta #general]  

probably, but that doesn't mean those aren't shitty too

2019-04-20 15:04:38 UTC [Sparta #general]  

minimum wage laws are a tough topic

2019-04-20 15:05:00 UTC [Sparta #general]  

because i don't think an-cap philosophy will result in good conditions for regular people

2019-04-20 15:05:40 UTC [Sparta #general]  

flexible contracts are pretty shitty too, agree

2019-04-20 15:06:47 UTC [Sparta #general]  

an-cap philosophy just leads people to working unreasonable hours to support themselves and their families

2019-04-20 15:08:46 UTC [Sparta #general]  

"mUh BaSiC eCoNoMiCs" idk i'm pretty sure every first world country has a minimum wage law, it's not vital to remove them

2019-04-20 15:10:33 UTC [Sparta #general]  

if your business can't survive without employing people reliably, then your business deserves to fail

2019-04-20 15:13:46 UTC [Sparta #general]  

labour can be exploited though?

2019-04-20 15:14:03 UTC [Sparta #general]  

problem is that people don't control the job markets, companies do.

2019-04-20 15:14:51 UTC [Sparta #general]  

getting paid next to nothing for work is equivalent to slavery. that's the whole point of the minimum wage

2019-04-20 15:16:34 UTC [Sparta #general]  

labour is not a luxury.

2019-04-20 15:16:37 UTC [Sparta #general]  

people need money

2019-04-20 15:16:43 UTC [Sparta #general]  

this means that they HAVE to have a job.

2019-04-20 15:17:03 UTC [Sparta #general]  

this means that if companies just offer next-to-nothing salaries, then that's what people have to take

2019-04-20 15:17:15 UTC [Sparta #general]  

>calling me a commie
lul

2019-04-20 15:17:36 UTC [Sparta #general]  

sorry if i don't like people to be forced to work unreasonable hours for fuck all pay

2019-04-20 15:17:52 UTC [Sparta #general]  

you CAN'T negotiate your pay

2019-04-20 15:17:58 UTC [Sparta #general]  

that's not how it works!

2019-04-20 15:18:18 UTC [Sparta #general]  

companies have an amount

2019-04-20 15:18:22 UTC [Sparta #general]  

that they can pay

2019-04-20 15:18:24 UTC [Sparta #general]  

that they offer

2019-04-20 15:18:36 UTC [Sparta #general]  

if you don't like that, you can't say "pay me 10k more"

2019-04-20 15:18:57 UTC [Sparta #general]  

you'll be laughed out

2019-04-20 15:19:00 UTC [Sparta #general]  

have you ever had a job?

2019-04-20 15:21:56 UTC [Sparta #general]  

"econ lesson is over" lul

2019-04-20 15:22:30 UTC [Sparta #general]  

yeah, definitely a commie, absolutely, is that the best you've got?

2019-04-20 15:23:21 UTC [Sparta #general]  

people can do that if they want

2019-04-20 15:23:31 UTC [Sparta #general]  

but the boss can literally always say no if they wanted

2019-04-20 15:23:47 UTC [Sparta #general]  

the company is the one entirely in control

2019-04-20 15:23:58 UTC [Sparta #general]  

you have to find another job to be "in control"

2019-04-20 15:25:10 UTC [Sparta #general]  

unions can be bad, but anti-unionism is worse

2019-04-20 15:26:00 UTC [Sparta #general]  

america is pretty good at anti-unionism

2019-04-20 15:26:14 UTC [Sparta #general]  

britain too

2019-04-20 15:26:36 UTC [Sparta #general]  

how?

2019-04-20 15:26:42 UTC [Sparta #general]  

what do you mean HOW?

2019-04-20 15:27:04 UTC [Sparta #general]  

companies have HUGE liberties in america to crush unionisation

2019-04-20 15:27:40 UTC [Sparta #general]  

this is why industries like video games have regular lay offs after big releases and keeping next to no permanent employees to reduce tax and healthcare costs

2019-04-20 15:28:32 UTC [Sparta #general]  

forced unionisation is bad for sure, agree, but not being able to make unions is worse

2019-04-20 15:28:38 UTC [Sparta #general]  

brb

2019-04-20 15:37:02 UTC [Sparta #general]  

aight i'm back

2019-04-20 15:38:04 UTC [Sparta #general]  

@Fredde the Duck yeah slavery really makes the people free haha

2019-04-20 15:38:28 UTC [Sparta #general]  

that's what fredde said

2019-04-20 15:38:42 UTC [Sparta #general]  

that's what "the freer the market the freer the people" means

2019-04-20 15:38:53 UTC [Sparta #general]  

slavery is the endgame of an-cap philosophy

2019-04-20 15:39:14 UTC [Sparta #general]  

where am i wrong?

2019-04-20 15:39:24 UTC [Sparta #general]  

slavery is literally a free labour market

2019-04-20 15:39:44 UTC [Sparta #general]  
2019-04-20 15:40:54 UTC [Sparta #general]  

"slavery" of those in prison isn't slavery, anyone who says that is retarded

2019-04-20 15:41:48 UTC [Sparta #general]  

private prison systems are also garbage, just encourages unfair laws to be lobbied

2019-04-20 15:43:38 UTC [Sparta #general]  

citizenship is unconcentual OMEGALUL

2019-04-20 15:44:01 UTC [Sparta #general]  

idk that thought is funny tho

2019-04-20 15:48:54 UTC [Sparta #general]  

at least rothbard understands where an-cap would lead lul

2019-04-20 15:49:08 UTC [Sparta #general]  

rather than just denying that it would

2019-04-20 15:50:17 UTC [Sparta #general]  

mUh ElItIsM

2019-04-20 15:51:18 UTC [Sparta #general]  

how dare those greys, filthy, i tell you.

2019-04-20 15:53:52 UTC [Sparta #general]  

you know ancap philosophy exists, right?

2019-04-20 15:53:55 UTC [Sparta #general]  

like

2019-04-20 15:54:01 UTC [Sparta #general]  

i'm not just "making something up"

2019-04-20 15:55:17 UTC [Sparta #general]  

and is there anything i said that doesn't conform with said ancap philosophy?

2019-04-20 15:56:38 UTC [Sparta #general]  

i'm not sure the average right leaning american would advocate slavery lul

2019-04-20 15:58:02 UTC [Sparta #general]  

prison isn't slavery OMEGALUL

2019-04-20 16:00:59 UTC [Sparta #general]  

well, if they are being unfairly targeted, that would be one thing, but that's separate from the prison == slavery argument

2019-04-20 16:01:26 UTC [Sparta #general]  

if any group is being unfairly targeted, that is wrong.
but saying prison == slavery is also wrong

2019-04-20 16:02:38 UTC [Sparta #general]  

imo if you fucked up enough to get sent to prison then you must accept the consequences.

2019-04-20 16:02:57 UTC [Sparta #general]  

obviously there are unfair laws but that's a separate issue

2019-04-20 16:06:01 UTC [Sparta #general]  

lel what places do you think are ancap?

2019-04-20 16:07:15 UTC [Sparta #general]  

@MountainMan OMEGALUL

2019-04-20 16:10:29 UTC [Sparta #general]  

semantics are important otherwise your working on different definitions and cannot create a productive conversation.

2019-04-20 16:13:25 UTC [Sparta #general]  

stefan molyneux OMEGALUL

2019-04-20 16:13:51 UTC [Sparta #general]  

because it's funny?

2019-04-20 16:14:15 UTC [Sparta #general]  

no, i'm a twitch user

2019-04-20 16:14:30 UTC [Sparta #general]  

sorry if you don't know anything about internet gaming culture
