gotta go to sleep though. continuing later.
@Aero I just listened to this one today, and honestly anyone who's to the Right of Tim Pool should listen to this one. Probably the best one for normies I've heard.
Also, Sargon of Akkad as well. It makes his argument about individualism vs collectivism seem autistic lol

Sargon calling himself an individualist is inconsistent with also supporting the social contract.
i'll check out more of his stuff. tbh, i'm currently mainly interested in this "MMT", which appears to have come out from left field. When I hear "print money as you want", I immediately get a bit concerned... and this stuff is being taught in colleges ffs! (i haven't really been paying attention to the development of this brain cancer... only just found it yesterday)
@halfthink If you watched my video link, you would realize you and sargon are both wrong lol
i'm of the opinion that you can be both an individualist and support a social contract, unless we get into 'purity tests'. just like how a capitalist can like *some* social programs.
what do i know though. ill watch your vid tomorrow fitzydog
You can't really be an individualist and not an ancap.
again, this is where we get into purity tests, which I will agree to disagree with people on.
Essentially, the argument is that actuall individuality is having the freedom to choose which communities you are a part of, because a community is a necessary part of being human
No one exists in a vacuum, nor do they want to
this MMT discussion is leading me to believe that proponents of MMT really don't understand accounting... or at least can't distinguish the meaning of numbers on a balance sheet.
MMT is basically people who think they understand economics because they understand accounting.
@Fitzydog that's probably more true than not. but hey, those on the right are too trusting of people, which leads to giant corporations forming and wealth generation to be a primary target (which negatively impacts things like: social framework, environment, people's lives (in the case of inadequate drug testing), etc.)
@halfthink Sargon is an idiot
they barely understand accounting tbf
it's too late. misspelling things too often. gn guys
I like how people are arguing about a summary of a video I posted, without first just watching the damn thing
I was leftist until I realized pretty much everything the government does is wasted money.
what
@Aero Usually, it's those on the right who trust absolutely no one.
There's just been a systematic brainwashing of society to put trust in the state
@Existence is identity In reference to the average Normie, is he wrong?
There's no value judgement attached to that statement
kek
I take it you're another butthurt IBS nerd with an animus for Sargon?
I really don't get the Sargon hate. Anything he says is either shitposting, or really mundane Centrist stuff that everyone should be in agreement with in the first place.
No, I dont mind sargon most of the time
Except I forgot what it was id have to dig it up but he said something really dumb
He even has read Locke
lol
The only thing I can really remember right now is how he calls himself an individualist then proceeds to want government intervention
The social contract argument is fucking stupid as shit
Holocaust wasn't murder, it was suicide, because social contract.
lol\
@Fitzydog I already watched the video when it was posted. Top comment on it was mine.
Nigger.
