feels over reals
you can ltiearlly see it, no matter what you say, he'll just keep saying "but I want x"
conceptually, its not even ***possible*** that it does not decrease, or increases consumption
its impossible completely
the book you're talking about probably does not even make that argument
"Research conducted by the Ministry of Health regarding the consumption of tobacco influenced both public education and state policy; in reflection of the discoveries of the administration's health department, considerable measures were taken to curtail the consumption of tobacco. These measures included prohibitions on the sale of tobacco to minors, of smoking in public areas and within the armed forces, restrictions on the advertisement of tobacco products. Additionally, several tobacco advertising and manufacturing companies were forcibly closed by the state. These measures, while successful in some regards, were limited in their effeciacy by the Second World War. Nonetheless, the daily tobacco intake of the average serviceman was reduced by 25% and prohibitions on smoking in public were effective in eliminating the consumption of tobacco among a majority of minors." @Weaboo Kempeitai
but makes other ones
I cannot speak for @Weaboo Kempeitai, but when I was an ancap my position(s) was not dictated by emotion, but by a priori reasoning. This is the case with almost every libertarian. It's philosophical for them, not practical.
ancaps endorse lying
its loyalty to ideology is what it is
I'm fairly sure this is true
that they just endorse it
@Leaf We're talking about alcohol tho
@TheUserNameofPeace
Shinsekai yori is breddy cool
No, we're talking about prohibition
It's loyalty to a philosophical principle.
@Banjod lmao
@Roko cool
I mean
imagine being loyal to fucking idea what a joke
So, that's fair.
don't take his freedom of lying away
Most ancaps don't read
Yes
True
first of all, its conceptually impossible that it didn't
@Banjod stfu you accuse everyone of lying lmao
He is right every time too
second of all, that isn't the only example of prohibition that we have
@Fénius Farsaid that's a lie
I just provided example number two
Why does it need to be alcohol?
are you not a traditionalist?
alcoholism is part of european identity
@Leaf Because how you prohibit both varies greatly, also, cigs have never been totally banned in the states to my knowledge.
@Banjod I'm not, I just like alcohol.
I want it preserved because I think those aspects of Europe are cool
i was mocking you
And aesthetically pleasing
this is the things you've pretty much said
