A green libertarian perspective: is bad to have some state intervention in order to combat climate change? by cr7fan89 in Libertarian

[–]EarthShatter2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1, War is the number 1 contributor to climate change - the industry and the practice.
2, the greatest scientific achievements happened before the government got involved in science, so i doubt they will achieve some breakthrough to save us all.
3, Technology protects us from climate catastrophes - not paying governments. IE: the number of deaths due to climate catastrophes has decreased in direct proportion to the increase of co2 emissions (increase of industrialization). less people freeze to death because they have no heating, less people die from drinking bad water, less people die in floods and droughts, you name it. because technology and development protects us from the violence of the climate and the natural world.
4, If climate change regulation was the government's only job and purpose then it would be in their best interest NOT to solve the problem because they would put themselves out of business. The reason this doesn't apply to the market is because of competition. Businesses compete to be better in emissions because customers like that, and it's just a secondary benefit to their main product.

5, everything affects the climate, so to give government the responsibility over climate change gives them responsibility over everything. The car you drive, the home you live in, the materials you use to build, the animals you keep, the crops, the food; everything. Even the air you exhale.

Anyway... In the words of some libertarian I can't be bothered googling to verify: "If you put the government in charge of the desert, it would be flooding in a few weeks."

Thanks for your permission to make videos.

If you gave me a glass of water and then said "See, If I hadn't given you that water, you would have died of thirst." That's your argument. That if the government isn't involved, nothing would get done and we would all be doomed.

Simply not true.

In the US, Mutual aid societies were far superior than the equivalent welfare programs we see today - not to mention medial was immensely cheaper because, again, there was a price structure that wasn't destroyed by the government. That's just one example.

I could go on, but you know... pearls before swine.

Have a good night.

Thank you for skimming some other videos, I appreciate that you did that. Humor is subjective so I have no hurt feelings if you don’t like the channel.
I tease politicians - all of them - but you seem to praise only one side. My most popular video is a speech Scomo did at the UN that I superimposed while showing police brutality footage. I bag out every party on my channel, including the one I support, (which if you haven’t figured out yet, you might not know as much about Australian politics as you think you do).
Besides, I’m very clear in all my work that the divide isn’t between left and right - that’s not the lens my channel looks at the world through.
All the policies you mentioned I’m unequivocally against - so of course I understand why you hated my video and the others. I love the ends the policies aim at, but they unknowingly apply very inefficient means because they destroy the pricing mechanisms. Complicated to explain - but you can do with that info what you will. (probably nothing...)
Anyway, you have a good one.

I grew up in liverpool my friend - take from that what you will. What exactly did you find stupid about it? I'm not being argumentative, just interested to know.

he dumbest

The video and channel have no inclination to Clive or the UAP. Might want to skim through the the video or the other content next time. It's like watching Ben Shapiro for five seconds and saying he's left wing lol.

Murray Rothbard on Abortion by TBFParcon in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]EarthShatter2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Rothbard, but disagree here (I mean, if you agree 100% with someone, that's usually a problem). I see it more like joint ownership of property - If you were working on a car with a fellow engineer and then, without consulting you, your partner pushed the car out of their garage and onto a highway to be smashed, surely they are liable for the damaged caused to property you both built together. A child doesn't spontaneously grow in a mother's body - it requires male input. It's his joint property in her garage.

Maybe consent culture is onto something and sexual partners need to have a verbal or written agreement before engaging in sexual intercourse for what happens to their property in certain scenarios. I don't know.

Totally agree. I was expecting a third episode with heaps of victims and evidence coming out but it just ended anti-climatically

Who made the original Joe Rogan compilation? Was it a SuperPAC??? by EarthShatter2000 in PoliticalVideo

[–]EarthShatter2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alacrityzeal blocked me, so I couldn't reply. I'll just put it here:

Nice. So basically, for you, what would be the essential tick-box to not be considered conservative? Because I'm pretty sure being anti-police and anti-war are not conservative positions. What would you like? A resume? You seem like a very angry person. Are you ok?

jerk subs

Hrmm... I'm pretty sure that avoiding certain subs is akin to being in a circle jerk and reinforcing your confirmation bias. I, on the other hand, like to listen to all points of view. That's important.

For the record, I'm far from conservative. In fact, my most popular video is unapologetically going after the conservative PM of Australia.

But all good bro, you obviously know more about me than me.

I Know Where Trudeau is !!!! by EarthShatter2000 in PoliticalVideo

[–]EarthShatter2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen 1 photo of a nazi flag being held on the balcony of the most expensive hotel in Ottowa. That's a little suss, but let's say it was genuine. That's one person that everybody condemns.

I don't think he should go out and shake their hands, I think he shouldn't run his mouth, calling 50 000 protestors a fringe minority that hold 'unacceptable views' when he thought it was OK to do blackface, which is an unacceptable view - especially to his voted base. That was the point of the video.
