For me, "economic freedom" on a global scale means that all nations can trade with each other with little to no restrictions. This means that regional differences in prices are esentially meaningless in such a large market, and so nations are essentially locked in to producing whatever creates the greatest GDP. So a nation with lots of fertile land is going to produce cash crops to sell on the international market and use the profits to buy food from somewhere else. If a nation did anything less than maximize their GDP, they would be outcompeted by other nations in the market and subjugated by economic means

2018-03-22 02:55:28 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Essentially, nations are locked into producing certain things by the current prices of the market and general economic pressure

2018-03-22 02:56:40 UTC [Sparta #general]  

I get that the global economy produces the most economically efficient solutions on a global scale via market pressure, but it also creates extremely unbalanced systems that border on global monopolies

2018-03-22 02:58:03 UTC [Sparta #general]  

At the end of this, every nation produces exactly one product to sell on the market, and essentially holds a gun to the head of the world. If Neo-USA stops producing the worlds supply of planes, nobody has planes, thusly everyone is enslaved to the USA. And everyone is enslaved to each other via resource production

2018-03-22 02:58:18 UTC [Sparta #general]  

@zahlman That's why I said "economically" efficient.

2018-03-22 02:58:27 UTC [Sparta #general]  

They're not resource efficient by any means

2018-03-22 02:59:09 UTC [Sparta #general]  

So I'm not denying the benefits of globalization, but there are downsides to it.

2018-03-22 03:05:08 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Ok, so that first one, everything they said was technically correct

2018-03-22 03:05:25 UTC [Sparta #general]  

But costs ARE passed on to other nations via externalities

2018-03-22 03:06:18 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Could be environmental costs from production, health costs from pollution, whatever, because the global economy is global, the costs and benefits are going to be spread around

2018-03-22 03:06:55 UTC [Sparta #general]  

And obviously less powerful nations, economic or otherwise, have less means available to protect themselves from those negative consequences

2018-03-22 03:07:26 UTC [Sparta #general]  

@Edgy_Username The anti-white crowd has been out in force on twitter

2018-03-22 03:07:42 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Bringing out the old "whites are domestic terrorists" thing again

2018-03-22 03:09:31 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Blame the leftists

2018-03-22 03:09:41 UTC [Sparta #general]  

We just want to be white in peace

2018-03-22 03:11:06 UTC [Sparta #general]  

At this point, I think universal sufferage is incompatible with America

2018-03-22 03:11:22 UTC [Sparta #general]  

It's not functioning so good with so many fucking voices voting in opposite directions

2018-03-22 03:13:41 UTC [Sparta #general]  

How do you recommend we fix that then?

2018-03-22 03:14:05 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Whites are the majority of the population, so nothing's out of the ordinary there, statistically.

2018-03-22 03:16:50 UTC [Sparta #general]  

So, even that bottom graph says that islam did more than everyone else combined

2018-03-22 03:18:03 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Is this one of those graphs that conveniently starts after 9/11?

2018-03-22 03:22:13 UTC [Sparta #general]  

@DanielKO They've also included some oddball incidents as "far-right"

2018-03-22 03:22:30 UTC [Sparta #general]  

The "2003 Salinas, Calif. Abudction, Torture, and Murder" was two hispanics killing a bisexual

2018-03-22 03:22:55 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Dunno how that's similar to the actual skinheads they've cited selewhere

2018-03-22 03:23:18 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Yeah, it only took ONE incident to change that balance

2018-03-22 03:24:15 UTC [Sparta #general]  

ONE islamic terrorist killed 49 people in a single incident, but it took 14 years for "far right" "terrorism" to approach the same figure

2018-03-22 03:24:34 UTC [Sparta #general]  

And I'm supposed to consider Islamic terrorism LESS of a threat?

2018-03-22 03:24:41 UTC [Sparta #general]  

They've killed more people in less incidents

2018-03-22 03:25:01 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Underwear bomber

2018-03-22 03:25:08 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Not one to defend TSA, but still.

2018-03-22 03:25:33 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Their value is also mostly deterrence, rather than active prevention

2018-03-22 03:26:02 UTC [Sparta #general]  

@Edgy_Username Exactly, am I supposed to consider a bunch on unrelated skinheads committing armed robbery a serious national threat?

2018-03-22 03:26:15 UTC [Sparta #general]  

@Deleted User Who the fuck has the TSA ever killed?

2018-03-22 03:27:37 UTC [Sparta #general]  

@Deleted User So the TSA should regulate motor transport now?

2018-03-22 03:28:30 UTC [Sparta #general]  

@Sueโœจ Yeah, it's such an outlier we fought a bunch of stupid wars over it, it was a pretty big deal. Over a thousand people died because we upset some rich saudi cunt with religious pull

2018-03-22 03:29:25 UTC [Sparta #general]  

That's why people don't include 9/11 in these "far right attacks have killed more than islam" meme-tier infographs, because it makes the graph so damn big you can't even see the far right deaths

2018-03-22 03:29:50 UTC [Sparta #general]  

I do not trust airlines to handle my luggage, let alone my security

2018-03-22 03:30:14 UTC [Sparta #general]  

@Sueโœจ I'm pretty sure the "point" was to say that islam has somehow killed less

2018-03-22 03:31:24 UTC [Sparta #general]  

@Deleted User I'd imagine so, but it's impossible to prove

2018-03-22 03:31:44 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Who knows how many insane persons have been deterred over the years by the simple idea that they'd get caught

2018-03-22 03:31:59 UTC [Sparta #general]  

@Edgy_Username Yeah, you guys fucked it

2018-03-22 03:32:14 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Eliminate parliment now, start over

2018-03-22 03:33:17 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Look at that garbage, for instance

2018-03-22 03:33:30 UTC [Sparta #general]  

It ends with "Not a single death has resulted from terrorist activity by a Muslim extremist refugee."

2018-03-22 03:34:18 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Ah yes, not a single person known to be an enemy of the united states on religious grounds has been granted passage into the US and then carried out a lethal attack on american soil

2018-03-22 03:34:22 UTC [Sparta #general]  

What a surprise

2018-03-22 03:35:45 UTC [Sparta #general]  

@Sueโœจ My point is that all the articles of that nature are attempting to place the blame on "far right" terrorism while minimizing the number of people killed by islamists. They obfuscate, quibble over definitions, distort data, and manipulate statistics wherever possible and the BEST they can do is the first article posted

2018-03-22 03:37:04 UTC [Sparta #general]  

The one where excluding that ONE time islam killed 1k+ people in a day, it still killed more than "far right" (a very inclusive group apparently) did over 15 years

2018-03-22 03:37:49 UTC [Sparta #general]  

And they attempt to dress it up as "Far right extremists have committed more attacks". Great, they're not very good at killing people, so by your logic we shouldn't worry about them.

2018-03-22 03:37:55 UTC [Sparta #general]  

@Deleted User The what now?

2018-03-22 03:38:13 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Yeah, it just amazes me that that one is the best of the bunch

2018-03-22 03:38:39 UTC [Sparta #general]  

The BEST one is "Islamists might kill more people, but far right groups attack more often"

2018-03-22 03:38:50 UTC [Sparta #general]  

With a bunch of asterisks at the end

2018-03-22 03:39:29 UTC [Sparta #general]  

*"Far right" includes hispanics and unaffiliated people who commit hate crimes

2018-03-22 03:39:58 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Only as much as everyone conspires with their own groups

2018-03-22 03:43:01 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Spencer has too much ego to be a real leader.

2018-03-22 03:43:09 UTC [Sparta #general]  

He's no hitler, that's for sure

2018-03-22 03:43:20 UTC [Sparta #general]  

There isn't one.

2018-03-22 03:43:48 UTC [Sparta #general]  

It's a bunch of groups with similar and overlapping ideas and interests working toward a nebulous common goal

2018-03-22 03:43:58 UTC [Sparta #general]  

What?

2018-03-22 03:44:03 UTC [Sparta #general]  

What century are you from?

2018-03-22 03:44:26 UTC [Sparta #general]  

KKK hasn't been a serious threat since they were outcompeted by other organized crime

2018-03-22 03:44:38 UTC [Sparta #general]  

They're regional, at best, and also old as shit

2018-03-22 03:44:51 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Although David Duke is fucking JACKED

2018-03-22 03:45:09 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Your Klansman emote's hood fell off

2018-03-22 03:45:18 UTC [Sparta #general]  

^

2018-03-22 03:45:24 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Literally too old school

2018-03-22 03:46:10 UTC [Sparta #general]  

The number of people angry enough to drop everything and travel to Missouri to join the KKK in the hopes of lynching darkies is probably in the low hundreds

2018-03-22 03:47:20 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Everybody needs footsoldiers, and since few reasonable people are mad enough to risk life and limb, we get this

2018-03-22 03:47:29 UTC [Sparta #general]  

You take what you can get

2018-03-22 03:48:27 UTC [Sparta #general]  

I'd like to kick the Bantu out of SA and fix that place up

2018-03-22 03:48:37 UTC [Sparta #general]  

But that's a pipe dream

2018-03-22 03:49:06 UTC [Sparta #general]  

For now all I can do is my tiny part to try to fix the busted shit we have here

2018-03-22 03:50:25 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Here?

2018-03-22 03:50:52 UTC [Sparta #general]  

I'm not so egotistical to think that my vision for what I'd like as a government should in fact be the government

2018-03-22 03:51:01 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Unlike CERTAIN political parties

2018-03-22 03:51:26 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Benevolent dictatorship

2018-03-22 03:51:37 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Too bad that's a transient form of goernment

2018-03-22 03:52:19 UTC [Sparta #general]  

@Deleted User Yeah, at this point helping white people see that they're being gaslighted into becoming self hating on a national scale is the biggest deal

2018-03-22 03:52:24 UTC [Sparta #general]  
2018-03-22 03:52:31 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Still a magic few hours

2018-03-22 03:52:58 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Post-Weimar but pre-WWII Germany

2018-03-22 03:53:23 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Before they overextended and tossed all their peacetime gains

2018-03-22 03:54:03 UTC [Sparta #general]  

@Deleted User More like a country that was fucked in every concievable way that got its shit together in a decade

2018-03-22 03:54:28 UTC [Sparta #general]  

@Deleted User You mean like a jew thing?

2018-03-22 03:55:13 UTC [Sparta #general]  

I guess market economics?

2018-03-22 03:55:43 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Can suppress innovation by removing innovation from necessity and suppressing innovation by competitors

2018-03-22 03:55:56 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Nobody controls all the institutions

2018-03-22 03:56:09 UTC [Sparta #general]  

The people who run them

2018-03-22 03:56:16 UTC [Sparta #general]  

They get to be cunts

2018-03-22 03:56:30 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Could be, could be Islam

2018-03-22 03:56:42 UTC [Sparta #general]  

I'm sure it depends on what institutions and where

2018-03-22 03:57:11 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Islamists would control institutions in Iran and Jews would control institutions in Israel

2018-03-22 03:57:19 UTC [Sparta #general]  

^

2018-03-22 03:57:28 UTC [Sparta #general]  

There's nothing conspiratorial about that

2018-03-22 03:57:32 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Or outrageous

2018-03-22 03:57:47 UTC [Sparta #general]  

You seem to still be talking about jews
