Trump wants to win 2020 more than he wants to build the wall... huh.

I think ann coulter/breitbart might be controlled opposition

Ann just wants her wall

@galesteppes I'm taking a dive into propertarianism. I'll get back to you in an hour.

Any thoughts about it? Even heard of it before?

nope

time to consulte wikipedia

It was confusing lol

`Propertarianism, or proprietarianism, is a right-libertarian`
I like it already

@galesteppes Basically, what I'm gathering is, sophistry would be illegal in politics?

There's some kind of 'format' that you have to use for policy proposals, with a 'purpose', pros and cons, impact studies from both advocates and opponents, and a punishment for lying in these documents

<:think_woke:378717098681171988>

No more standing in front of congress to give a speech, you just get the same summary as everyone else

@galesteppes Oh god, that's woke.

Propertarianism extends property rights, to the point where the two, 'property' and 'rights', are *one in the same.*

Property: "Anything that an individual or group shows a willingness and ability to defend"

virgin classical liberal vs chad Propertarianism
<:think_woke:378717098681171988>

so slavery is back on the table?

@AlanPowell It would be decided in a court

Right to own a person vs the person's right to freedom

So do the math lol

@galesteppes Oh shit, there's defined morality as well. Interesting

Interesting.

So really..... it elevates the judiciary to a legislative finalizing body that put every single policy proposal through the wringer, and if it fails, sends it back over and over until the noted items are fixed

So imagine the government as a huge courtroom, and the judiciary is the judge, while the opposing parties for any policy decision are the plaintiff/defendant, and prosecuting lawyer.

Everyone on the metaphorical witness stand is under oath when speaking, and if demonstrated that they are lying, it's a criminal offence

I can see some inefficiencies at first. Over time it would improve.

There's not really a risk of punishing a mistake, because it has to be proven that the person lied on purpose

Just like in a courtroom

But in a courtroom, you don't really get multiple chances to revise your statement for accuracy

@galesteppes Best part about the whole thing?

This video was made by the Venezuelan armed forces with the intent of scaring US marines... no joke, that is what they said.

think the US marines will just hold up a sandwich and they will surrender just for a bite of it

sandwich brigade

My favourite part is when they start shooting their guns, and you hear the bullets flying past... but they don't have a magazine in their guns.

seen more threatening soft gun larpers

and if they did have bullets in the guns, they had been out of one cameraman

who cares? he would have been their food supply for the week.

@PurpleFyrus Find your friends while you can

I dont understand the meaning and/or implications of that statement

I think im autistic guys
