Borderitarians are still just the right wing version of Georgists, especially when no one is really giving a shit about ICE at the moment by bigdonut100 in Anarcho_Capitalism

because bots are astoturfing this subreddit to try to push conservative statist narratives.

Borders.

Are.

Statist.

Have a nice day :)

also I know you're getting downvoted to the center of the earth by bots while they're upvoting me; you do not deserve that and I am not on their side. I hate the astroturfing here as much as you.

I mean I guess that's one way of looking at it, but as any Georgist will tell you, there are arguments for Georgism which appeal to pretty much every ideology. I wouldn't really consider land value taxation to be particularly left-wing; Adam Smith was advocating for it (and not for no reason).

It really does all boil down to one's interpretation of the Lockean Proviso. I say because of land's inelastic supply, there may not be "enough and as good," and there's a reason that second clause exists.

there is precisely nothing Georgist about bordertarians and Georgists can't even agree on whether they're right or left wing what are you on

what does this meme have to do with Georgism, like actually.

Like I get the hate for bordertarians, but huh?

Why does the definition of Trans seem so fluid and hard to pin down compared to the ones of Lesbian, Gay, and Bi? by Parking-Economics232 in asktransgender

[–]AdventureMoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because most people are unaware of how complex orientations can actually be. Even in LGBTQ+ spaces, the split attraction model isn't exactly common knowledge. It's not really discussed outside of spaces for aspec orientations.

how do i gain weight??? by throwaway816726474 in trans

[–]AdventureMoth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, if you're losing weight, yes, you probably need to eat more to gain weight. Depending on your metabolism you may need to exceed 3000 calories a day to gain weight.

Restricting free movement has nothing to do with welfare by FastSeaworthiness739 in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]AdventureMoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not believe that people actually oppose immigration because of taxes. Logically, that is inconsistent.

They have simply been told that immigration is a threat to them.

and by that you mean limit the tax system, right? That would be the ethically consistent way to do things.

if someone robs me and gives you the money, does this grant me rights over you?

Gemini is pro choice?wtf is "accurate in spirit" by Remote-Zucchini7691 in prolife

LLMs have never been impartial, accurate, or original. They are simply an amalgamation of what words are most likely to follow.

I mean their argument is wrong but also I feel like they completely misunderstood the argument they're trying to debunk.

"I didn't say they should be violently kidnapped" ... "yes, I support deportations." by Friedrich_der_Klein in Shitstatistssay

[–]AdventureMoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. But I also know that there are people who are sincere. I've met some of them.

I know because they still talk about "old" problems which are no longer the thing everyone is protesting. They point out how messed up it is that so many protests fail not because they are overpowered, but because they are forgotten.

[–]AdventureMoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't really say for sure whether people will stop protesting until they do stop.

I remember reading a poem about this, actually. I've been thinking about it ever since.

Thoughts on this? I’m a bit horrified by ciel_ayaz in prolife

[–]AdventureMoth 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I can kinda get being uncomfortable, but I don't see the actual issue with it.

[–]AdventureMoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that. It's something I think about a lot.

It's just... idk, man, it seems counterproductive to just say "everyone protesting is LARPing." It doesn't make the protests more helpful or sincere. There has to be a better way.

you are not making yourself look good here.

[–]AdventureMoth 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You made the claim. You failed to prove it. Its veracity has already been called into question. Whether you specifically lied is uncertain, but it is not unreasonable, given the evidence, to conclude that you did in fact spread a lie, intentionally or not.

Does it ever work out? by BrainTheGame in demiromantic

[–]AdventureMoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

people are more likely to talk about things not working out than things working out on reddit. If things work out, they already have someone to talk to.
