Was always Libertarian until I realized I hate most Libertarians. "Muh roads. Muh Open Borders." Fucking retards.
@Chet Nick y u BoOlIN mEH
Yeah, I used to like Caplan, but I can't accept a libertarian reason for open borders.
You leave muh roads out of this you monster!
I was watching it slide into the shitpile for years before Trump showed up
Open Borders is a rejection of property rights.
Also the Open Borders argument makes more sense once you have the system in question
Because then people who own land determine who crosses it, and there's no gibs
It doesnt make *any* sense **now**
I was more or less libertarian until my Trump-inspired turn toward protectionism in 2015.
It's also silly to suggest that libertarian must = open borders, since border protection is a base value of the state
If you don't have borders, you don't have a nation.
open borders benefit corportations.
corporations*
that's a coming from the left opinion
If you rely on individual property owners to "do the right thing", ditto.
but I think it's a good sell point for the other side
Oh open borders as a lefty position is so hilariously contradictory
Open borders is globalism is a lefty position.
endless cheap labor, no need to make building a family affordable in any regard here
>per capita emissions in the west are high
>automation and labour flooding hurt the poor
>let's let more people in
It's contradictory
If you believe in economic growth above those things that makes more sense
the smarter leftist point would probably be something like emissions are outsourced to china
But I will never understand people afraid of automation, worried about the poor and the environment, who are for increasing the immigration rate
Vox Day is right about the mobility of labor nullifying MOST of the Austrian School of Economics' theories.
That makes it worse though
Automation or Mobility of Labor?
If outsourcing labour offsets the per capita emissions and the emissions are still high per capita
Then you absolutely should be critical of immigration, no?
chet, what is vox day?
Really?
haha, really
Also I dont know that I agree with that assessment, Chet
He's a Christian Nationalist writer and Vlogger. @clubfrills
I think it makes some goofy assumptions about the current market
sold, will look into it
not that I will agree, but I enjoy it
