Like I said, I don’t view it as coercion. Is it not coercion in the capitalist system that you must work or face homelessness? That doesn’t sound like freedom or love to me.
That’s the people’s fault for remaining willfully ignorant. You have the internet, you can learn. Americans are just home broken to accept shitty treatment from the government. Americans fear the government. In Europe, the government fears the people.
The people who voted in the elected representatives which are a representation of the majority. Do I gotta explain how our government works now? And yeah bad shit happens with our tax dollars, elect better politicians The people are the problem
He asked me to explain I did. It’s not a personal attack or ad hominem against you but rather what I’ve noticed of the general libertarian mindset. If you view it as a personal attack, that’s on you because it’s not directed at you.
Also funny you bring up Darwin because you literally don’t understand Darwin. Survival of the fittest has nothing to do with competition. If you actually read Darwin you’d understand it’s more about how a species adapts to change than competition.
Cuba was a US puppet state and installed a dictatorship that enslaved black Cubans. Castro overthrew that regime. History isn’t so black and white. The US has committed war crimes on top of war crimes while toppling democratically elected governments
And lastly, I believe it’s mainly due to these same Libertarians having victim complexes but no outlet to actually be victims ergo any taxation or social reform is oppression ie they fly Don’t Tread On Me flags with Blue Lives Matters flags—contradiction
There is also the problem of what I call “suffrage,” most of the people who hold these right leaning libertarian views are white Americans. People who have never been subjugated to any real form of oppression ergo any form of taxation is seen as oppression
That’s the problem. Vast Majority of people who criticize these ideas have never left the United States in their lives, typically lack any form of higher education, and consume news from one source or a specific lean. Idk how you patch those inadequacies
No, rape and taxation are two separate things. You aren’t forced to live where you live wherever that may be. You’re always free to leave to another country that supports your viewpoint if said countries exist. I just like the idea of social democracy
It’s not necessarily involuntary You’re free to not pay taxes, and the consequences of that is whatever society says are the consequences You are also free to not live in said country if you don’t like the taxation system Voluntary doesn’t work ie GoFundMe
That’s the problem, you view all taxes as a violation of rights I don’t think all taxes are a violation of rights And GoFundMe is voluntary, majority of GoFundMes are for medical bills that rarely reach their goals. That’s why voluntary doesn’t work.
Yeah, and none of the policies I am advocating for are centralizing to the state. Like I said, federal reserve is a private company that controls monetary policy. Medicare is also a private company that issues health insurance to seniors, just expand it.
No, crony capitalism is just capitalism deregulated which allows for now multinational corporations to run policy decisions of the state ie Google, Facebook, etc because the US failed to regulate corporations, corporations became apart of the state policy
Better put, under the current American capitalist system, people are more poor than the people of UK, Japan, Canada, and Korea which have these social policies. Those same people enjoy paid vacation time, paid maternity leave, etc They are not slaves
I disagree, everything you’re talking about is a result of crony capitalism at the hands of the corpo state The current system that keeps people poor and drastic income inequality is because of lack of social safety nets, not the the opposite ie Japan, UK
Having to work 80+ hours a week to afford an apartment because housing is too expensive is freedom? Having to purchase a vehicle because public infrastructure is horrible is freedom? Going bankrupt from cancer is freedom? You are not free in America.
I disagree and agree, it depends on the policy. Universal healthcare isn’t an encroachment on freedom. It’s just a tax everyone pays so everyone can see a doctor and not worry about bankruptcy because they got cancer. It’s no different from public roads.
As for your other nonsensical point, over 95% of the protests that took place in all 50 states were peaceful. Your cherry-picking of events is you trying to subvert a civil rights movement You’d def be opposed to civil rights in the 60s
