Oh you didnt watch it slide into shit?

I can't even be an evangelical because they're such crazy hard-core Zionists.

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

just import more people

>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
