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
Well we disagree heavily then.
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?
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
it is an interesting case in the united states where we *should* view our government as one which does not grant and ungrant rights to citizens like privileges
but respects rights given to citizens by god
or by their own life if you're more of an areligious person
Well now we come to another problem.
Well it’s not a exactly a *right* if it can be taken away
and i think that private property, amongst other things, aught to be left alone without just cause
The "citizenship" question.
Oh boy
Originally, only whites could be citizens, and only land owning males could vote.
If a right can be granted or taken away at will, is it truly a right, or a privilege?
A privilege, by definition
well i said "we should view our government as one which does not grant and ungrant rights to citizens like privileges"
