Having a decentralized banking system with different mints and banks competing would yield better results
Sound money is the way to go, either precious metal based or crypto based, or both
If you don't have regulation you don't need to handle the different currencies
And if you're reckless in any way, you'll crash and burn
With the fed distorting rates? It was only voluntary inasmuch it people were responding to incentives
Kill the fed, kill regulations, and let things go their way, it will be painful at first, but quitting drugs and addictions is painful at first and wonderful once life begins to get in order
Bro, most interactions you have on a day to day basis are completely voluntary, anarchic if you will
It's not so much social darwinism as much as it is a shift in incentives
And they would only last while someone doesn't do a better job at providing the same service they do more cheaply
I don't think people don't want to be free, but they will cling to other things to tell them how to live - culture, religion, community
Safety nets remove the personal responsibility people have in helping those in need within their own community
Yeah, they abdicate responsibility because they know someone will help them
It's not for nothing that people against welfare are the ones doing the most charity
Exactly, the removal of personal responsibility does much more harm than good, even if in practice you're handing people stuff to keep themselves alive
Oh yeah, they cannot fathom living bearing responsibility
Those who depend on safety nets would be the ones who would need the most "rehab"
It's always good
Some people online honest to god believe Mueller is actually on Trump's side and he's the prosecutor he said he would appoint to drain the swamp
Well, you could pay a male prostitute to bang a female prostitute and it would still be prostitution, it's the filming that makes it not be prostitution, as far as the law goes
"depends on peoples definitions of collusion" that's the crux of the question, collusion is such a fucking nebulous term that it can be applied to a whole bunch of perfectly innocent shit
buzzfeed is assblasted about that picture
https://twitter.com/BuzzFeedNews/status/1093287723958394880 to which michael malice gave a great response
islam isn't a race, hell it's not even an ethnic religion like judaism or zoroastrianism
i pasted it but forgot to send lmao
lmao @สooNสooN
i was gonna say that, it's racism on _their_ part
if i'm not mistaken gays have less than half the rates of dv of het couples
one of my best friends for the best part of the last 15 years is a lesbian and i have yet to see her in a relationship that isn't a toxic mess
could be, but my experience with my friend and her friends is that often there is a lot of toxicity in lesbian relationships, i know it's anecdotal and my sample is skewed towards that but idk
i was gonna say that, unreported claims are hard to gauge because they're unreported
sure there is, i'm not saying there isn't. but it was through methodology that we got the 1 in 4 rape statistics
Economics came first, as economics is the whole of human interactions in which things are traded voluntarily @My Preferred Pronoun Is Sama
@Arch-Fiend "systems where the legitimacy of authority is through raw exertion of power, economy often comes first." i'll need a citation for this. the free and voluntary trade between consenting parts is antithetical to the raw exertion of power as exertion of power is involuntary and aggressive by definition.
Putting the interests and desires of those within the confines of the nation-state USA above the interests and desires of those abroad
Only if you regulate what can come in and go out
how does that correlate to economics being about the exertion of power?
because the state uses violence to parasite off of those who produce
that problem is not production or the free exchange of goods between people, it's the state using violence to extort them to promote its own agenda
if you're alone in an island, and you manage to create tools to produce, you're creating the means of produciton
You wouldn't have a state until a group of people band together to extort the others under the threat of violence
The state is parasitical by definition, it doesn't produce anything
It doesn't matter, it's still based on the threat of violence, unless there are no consequences for those who go against the general consensus
No, @DarKinGate , quite the opposite'
No, because there is no threat of aggression if the trade is being doing voluntarily
amen, @Arch-Fiend
trade, market, capitalism, whatever you want to call it, it's the free and voluntary exchange of goods between consenting parts
the market is simply the name given to the whole of those free and voluntary exchange of goods
yes, there can be production with no market, as in the island example
why is the state above the laws it proposes? why is it wrong for person a to rob person b, but not for the state to rob person a and b?
Only insofar as people see others accumulating wealth and want to parasite off of them without producing anything themselves, and they do so under the threat of violence
@Arch-Fiend how do i not understand human nature? the person who produces enough to hire people to voluntarily produce for them ins't leeching off of anyone, or taking advantage, unless you're an actual marxist and believes in the theory of value, which has been thoroughly debunked
Source? @Arch-Fiend
I'm listening, but you're making a statement and I want a source for that statement. @Arch-Fiend The thing is that historically, ruling classes were not the merchant class, but rather, the warrior class.
If you need sources for whatever I'm saying, please ask and I'll gladly provide
Or any financial exchange, even for shit like law
Isn't that what the black market ends up being, ultimately?
They get ugly fast because they end up in war with the government
!rank
it's not, i have a script for that on some backup hd, i'll check it out when i get home and upload somewhere
i had a client that this kind of effect was their go to effect for a lot of shit so i just automated it
no
it's like forcing someone to be charitable, it defeats the purpose of charity
I like how whenever people talk about Bolsonaro, they say he attacks LGBT+ _people_ instead of their activism, which is what he does. I mean, I don't even support the guy nor did I vote for him but it's wild to see how bad the mischaracterization is.
But a huge chunk of South America only thinks they can speak Spanish, but actually speak Portuguese, which is definitely not a Hispanic language
Keyword there being think, because I speak Spanish and most people's Spanish sucks cojones
