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?

2018-04-19 23:59:13 UTC  

No matter how impossible that amount to get, lets say someone hypothetically has accumulated enough wealth to do that. Should they be able to?

2018-04-19 23:59:36 UTC  

given that a person powerful enough to actually do something like that exists

2018-04-19 23:59:49 UTC  

yeah but mainly because the US is a joke country now anyway

2018-04-19 23:59:51 UTC  

which is your circumstance

2018-04-19 23:59:59 UTC  

i don't see why they shouldnt

2018-04-20 00:00:04 UTC  

Oof.

2018-04-20 00:00:07 UTC  

200 years ago, absolutely not

2018-04-20 00:00:10 UTC  

Well we disagree heavily then.

2018-04-20 00:00:19 UTC  

imagine someone having the funds in hand to buy every square foot of american soil

2018-04-20 00:00:26 UTC  

i mean like gold bars not mason papers

2018-04-20 00:00:40 UTC  

i would LOVE for someone to buy the federal government

2018-04-20 00:00:46 UTC  

and no one, not a single other person or even group of people were able to topple that man

2018-04-20 00:01:10 UTC  

then yeah

2018-04-20 00:01:14 UTC  

accelerationism.erection

2018-04-20 00:01:18 UTC  

let him purchase every square foot

2018-04-20 00:01:20 UTC  

one by one

2018-04-20 00:01:29 UTC  

although

2018-04-20 00:01:44 UTC  

we aren't really talking about someone buying a country

2018-04-20 00:01:48 UTC  

Are you a libertarian individual?

2018-04-20 00:02:05 UTC  

I hope I don't sound accusatory, I'm just trying to understand better.

2018-04-20 00:02:29 UTC  

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"?

2018-04-20 00:02:45 UTC  

No.

2018-04-20 00:02:48 UTC  

i think we've gone into the hypothetical too much

2018-04-20 00:02:58 UTC  

Even if you were a communist I would just debate you as normal.

2018-04-20 00:02:59 UTC  

because on a base principle i agree with you

2018-04-20 00:03:21 UTC  

i think that a nation aught to do what is best for the most people in the nation

2018-04-20 00:03:25 UTC  

the people who that nation belong to

2018-04-20 00:03:31 UTC  

HOWEVER

2018-04-20 00:04:06 UTC  

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

2018-04-20 00:04:15 UTC  

but respects rights given to citizens by god

2018-04-20 00:04:24 UTC  

or by their own life if you're more of an areligious person

2018-04-20 00:04:40 UTC  

Well now we come to another problem.

2018-04-20 00:04:42 UTC  

Well it’s not a exactly a *right* if it can be taken away

2018-04-20 00:04:44 UTC  

and i think that private property, amongst other things, aught to be left alone without just cause

2018-04-20 00:04:48 UTC  

The "citizenship" question.

2018-04-20 00:04:55 UTC  

Oh boy

2018-04-20 00:05:14 UTC  

Originally, only whites could be citizens, and only land owning males could vote.

2018-04-20 00:05:30 UTC  

If a right can be granted or taken away at will, is it truly a right, or a privilege?

2018-04-20 00:05:42 UTC  

A privilege, by definition

2018-04-20 00:05:48 UTC  

well i said "we should view our government as one which does not grant and ungrant rights to citizens like privileges"
