Couldn't boycott them if you wanted fuel.

2018-12-14 22:26:33 UTC  

monopoly laws enforced by the goverment make it illegal

2018-12-14 22:26:46 UTC  

@Zer0 most people don't live like you do, though

2018-12-14 22:26:49 UTC  

Couldn't compete with them because they'd punish anyone who did business with you.

2018-12-14 22:26:56 UTC  

@EndangeredProdigy Because of the companies

2018-12-14 22:26:58 UTC  

Lol

2018-12-14 22:27:07 UTC

2018-12-14 22:27:13 UTC  

It has made are quality of life go up

2018-12-14 22:27:14 UTC  

if it wasn't then there would be a single company that owns all food production. And they would have total control of it all

2018-12-14 22:27:25 UTC  

Live in a society without trade for me

2018-12-14 22:27:36 UTC  

I believe in trade

2018-12-14 22:27:42 UTC  

I don't know what you are implying here

2018-12-14 22:27:55 UTC  

@EndangeredProdigy thats their choice. and why they have to worry about food control.

2018-12-14 22:28:04 UTC  

We wouldnt have apple without steve jobs or microsoft without bill gates

2018-12-14 22:28:12 UTC  

I have a degree in Business Admin and Finance lol why would I have done that if I didn't believe in trade

2018-12-14 22:28:28 UTC  

and trade enables anything more complex then what you can make yourself

2018-12-14 22:28:33 UTC  

There are failure modes in capitalist systems. You have to study them as a part of any economics degree.

2018-12-14 22:28:42 UTC  

@EndangeredProdigy Well companies arent free to trade with who they want

2018-12-14 22:28:48 UTC  

without trade, then you wouldn't have anything you cannot make

2018-12-14 22:28:49 UTC  

yes they are

2018-12-14 22:28:55 UTC  

Cartels, collusion, regulatory capture, monopoly, monopsony, etc.

2018-12-14 22:28:58 UTC  

@Misomania Exactly

2018-12-14 22:29:14 UTC  

as long as there aren't embargoes on the countries

2018-12-14 22:29:16 UTC  

The individuals have brought us so much

2018-12-14 22:29:19 UTC  

@Existence is identity why exactly? that goes against your stance

2018-12-14 22:29:25 UTC  

But you want to violate their rights

2018-12-14 22:29:34 UTC  

If you are a strict NAP ancap, these failure modes have no recourse.

2018-12-14 22:29:47 UTC  

Lmao, NAP ancaps.

2018-12-14 22:29:49 UTC  

Trade with me or im gonna use government and put a gun to your head

2018-12-14 22:29:49 UTC  

what rights are you talking about here

2018-12-14 22:29:56 UTC  

we'd be in farms living in huts without trade

2018-12-14 22:29:57 UTC  

Just be anarcho-primitives.

2018-12-14 22:30:01 UTC  

rights are a very broad statement

2018-12-14 22:30:06 UTC  

Property and freedom of association

2018-12-14 22:30:16 UTC  

@Existence is identity your stance calls for another dark ages essentially

2018-12-14 22:30:19 UTC  

Strict NAP ancaps see these as normal. But they lead to tyranny just as bad or worse than any totalitarian government.

2018-12-14 22:30:24 UTC  

no no no

2018-12-14 22:30:25 UTC  

they just purged mumkeys new channels

2018-12-14 22:30:27 UTC  

two channels

2018-12-14 22:30:28 UTC  

they can associate with who they want as long as the people they are associating with aren't criminals

2018-12-14 22:30:30 UTC  

don't be anarcho primatives
