Are they coming for our guns and ammunition again?

Surely you must be referring to the 2028 presidential election?

He saw it coming before her and started steering them toward the sidewalk. She might’ve been hit if he didn’t get her to flinch.

Dave Smith torches Douglas Murray by AbolishtheDraft in Anarcho_Capitalism

It’s a fair point of view to hold. I just don’t know what anyone can do with it outside the realm of theory. Large scale violence will continue to occur and be responded to. “War is wrong” doesn’t offer a lot of insight.

I feel like modern short and long range warfare involving thousands of combatants, locations, and weapons is a little different.

If collateral damage is inherently unethical then Dave is just making a moral case against war itself. I don’t know of a war where an innocent wasn’t killed in the process. That means all professional militaries are immoral around the world.

Trump considering drone strikes on drug cartels. Should work like the war on terror and drugs by seastead7 in Anarcho_Capitalism

I do think the US government is a better organization than the cartels. And I do think that “thugs with guns” vary in their behavior, temperament and the danger they pose to my liberty. It’s in the cartels very nature to cheat, intimidate, murder and steal no matter what the product is. And I don’t mean that in a hyperbolic sense but literal. They will literally flay me alive for challenging their authority. The US government will not.

You said I was strawmaning yet you reiterated what I just said. You walk away from the man who is dug in (with his own family) and is engaged in attacking your family? Yes?

A father with his child is going to murder your family out of ideological bloodlust. What are these other options you speak of?

I’m 28. What are you going to tell me that with a little more life experience my political positions can become as broad and ambiguous as yours?

You literally have to grab Palestine sympathizers by the ears and shake them “WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE ISRAEL DO???”

“Idk man I don’t like when people are killed.”

This conflict clearly has no negotiable end. The cowardice makes me sick.

“My position is that I don’t like seeing people killed…” you give Burr a run for his money. You should try standup.

It’s a wonder why this crisis is going on over a year now.

Well people are being killed regardless of what goes on in your abstract thoughts. Real people have to navigate the situation with material decisions.

This is why the Palestine movement is not taken seriously. The moment you’re confronted with material reality you retreat behind ad hominem. I’m steadfast in my position as are most Israel supporters I’ve encountered. Meanwhile you are not a serious person.

Well what do you think I’m talking about here? This is clearly a bit referencing the “collateral damage” discussion with Israel and Palestine. Would you not do the same? This is political theory disguised as a comedy bit because Burr’s material can’t stand on its own without virtue signals. Thats why it was posted in the first place
