TL:DR

inb4 "me strong man me no need religion dum dum"

ethics and law are bookends; law can never be used to impose ethics/morality in a free society

religion is dumb 🤷

@Storin Having studied law, I would agree with you except in this: there's a technical difference between law and statute. The technical definition of law, as used in that domain, refers to moral order (do as thou will, but harm none), as opposed to statute, which is the arbitrary whim of a legislator

religion is an idea and thus has no brain and cannnot be dumb

Invisible space fairies that cant impact the world because reasons have no purpose nor requirement for worship

@Marushia Dark WE MUST REMOVE OUR MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX and let the chinese roll us over

okay buddy retard

Religion is --dumb-- wrong

strike through fail

@Storin wrong guy, apologies

I am probably one of the few libertarians that supports the military and foreign intervention...

blind faith in science one doesn't comprehend is also 'dumb'

You've undone ancap without breaking ancap

@Spooky Melon There's a difference between the military and the military-industrial complex in the same where there's a difference between self-defense and serial murder.

I'm basically calling for the UK to send troops to HK <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

ancap suffers from the rational man fallacy

@Marushia Dark
>remove the military-industrial complex
>keep the strongest military

>how?

As a former colony that still practices anglo law we should protect them 🤷

same as the communists; you cannot get there from here

how the fuck is the military-industrial complex bad?

your argument was bombing kids

okay, lets get rid of the military then.

this makes no sense.

@Spooky Melon It's called defending the homeland and not starting shit elsewhere in the world

It has the potential to be bad or good, it depends on who is authorising the orders tbh

it encourages use of force over diplomacy

if all you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail

ah yes]

@Marushia Dark oh, so to defend the homeland, we should never leave our soil, and instead wait for our enemies to be larger and stronger than us before they attack.

diplomacy

It's the difference between me keeping a gun in my house in case a burglar tries to break in versus me breaking into my neighbor's house and shooting his family

with gommies and muzzies

You get rid of the military you get steam rolled- the west literally did the same with gadafi and saddam

cuz that works so well

@Marushia Dark we should never intervene, and frankly, we should've let the soviets take over all of asia.

kek

is that what you're arguing?

diplomacy brought down the USSR as much as anything
