I had another realization of why libertarianism is entirely fucking retarded
libertarians like to assert that in their "anarchy plus shopping malls" sort of society, the lack of rules will mean we will not have social control over each other, we will be unable to regulate each others' behavior by anything other than the free market, and thus everyone can be as lawless in their behavior as they please
on the theory that so long as the numbers add up, your product will continue to sell and nobody should really care about your weird behaviors (i.e. posting "what if the child consents???" arguments on forums)
libertarian social philosophy really does boil down to a bunch of autists longing for the day when they can do LITERALLY WHUTEVAR WE WANT as long as it doesn't harm another person in the short term
the problem with this is they assume the transactions that allow their businesses to keep rolling occur in a vacuum, like buying product anonymously off of Amazon from a random seller
sometimes it's pointed out using British Petroleum as an example, where after the BP oil spill the company was exceedingly unpopular, people still continued to buy their product and their profits didn't really take that much of a hit, because the numbers added up and there was still demand for gasoline at X price point
@Deleted User 57835c2c PLEASE CALL 415-349-5666
what is that
JUST ARTICULATE ALL THIS THERE.
that's so sketchy
THAT IS THE # FOR LRH.
LRH?
L0DE RADIO HOUR
is there an online link? what is LRH anyway
you can copy the argument when I finish if you like
...but in the case of BP, I assert that occurred because people need petroleum to LIVE. In today's world very few people can get by without motorized transport lest they be unable to go to their jobs and to stores where they buy their goods, so it's only slightly less essential to their lives than food and water. Therefore, despite being unpopular, BP was able to sell.
@Deleted User 57835c2c IF YOU WANT TO OFFEND. CALL UP AND SAY "I WANT TO MAKE AN ARGUMENT JUSTIFYING THE GENOCIDE OF THE GLOBAL NIGGER MENACE"
Where are ya
However, it's readily observable that in any case where people have any more choice than life or death, their social regard for the person they buy from has a lot of weight on the transaction. This is observable with the proliferation of "Fair Trade" and all forms of "we donate X% to Y charity" branding. These things make the buyer think the company is altruistic and thus favorable, so they buy it.
YOU CAN CALL FOR THE MONEYTREE.
Further the reverse arrangement clearly exists in the case of various boycotts. Brendan Eich, etcetera.
In broad form libertarians are autists who think transactions happen in a bubble
look closer at the transaction involved with getting a job
SAY "IM CALLING FOR THE MONEYTREE IN CASSELBURRY"
it is a transaction after all, they are effectively purchasing a subscription to your labor for a fairly long period
