yeah yeah i know about all that
Controlling currency allows one to control far more than they should.
A frankly sickening amount of power, honestly.
i don't really see myself as debating you right now as i do trying to solve a really weird problem
Thats fine.
This is how people change their ideas and grow upon them.
Friendly discussion my dude.
also that "there should be no highest bidder" thing spooked me
Why's that?
sounds like communism shit
Do you think someone should be able to buy the nation?
no one person aught to be doing better than another
I simply took what you said and bloated it to a point that you surely should have to disagree unless you are a very, very libertarian individual. Should someone be able to just purchase the United States if they have the necessary funds?
No matter how impossible that amount to get, lets say someone hypothetically has accumulated enough wealth to do that. Should they be able to?
given that a person powerful enough to actually do something like that exists
yeah but mainly because the US is a joke country now anyway
which is your circumstance
i don't see why they shouldnt
Oof.
200 years ago, absolutely not
imagine someone having the funds in hand to buy every square foot of american soil
i mean like gold bars not mason papers
i would LOVE for someone to buy the federal government
and no one, not a single other person or even group of people were able to topple that man
then yeah
accelerationism.erection
let him purchase every square foot
one by one
although
we aren't really talking about someone buying a country
Are you a libertarian individual?
I hope I don't sound accusatory, I'm just trying to understand better.
if i tell you that i am a libertarian, are you going to treat the things i say as "those words which a libertarian might peddle"?
No.
i think we've gone into the hypothetical too much
Even if you were a communist I would just debate you as normal.
because on a base principle i agree with you
i think that a nation aught to do what is best for the most people in the nation
the people who that nation belong to
HOWEVER
