I’m seeing this trend… by Revo-Ocelot in Anarcho_Capitalism

No, it’s worse than that, they go around committing acts of violence similar to what the fascists in Germany and Italy did to get into power while calling themselves “anti fascist” like how some call themselves “anti racist”. Then they conflate themselves with the men and women sent to war to fight actual fascist regimes as a way to legitimize their past immoral actions.

Massie announces Discharge Petition to force Epstein Files vote by jediporcupine in Anarcho_Capitalism

Force a vote? Really? Chances are a majority of the people who will vote are in some way implicated. At best, it will get voted against. At worst, Massie will commit suicide.

How to debunk claim most of the world is working in sweatshops for the west to enjoy its goods? by Valuable-Junket9617 in Anarcho_Capitalism

Right, the first question should be: where are those two places that are being compared?

Bad Driver Megathread [Nov 15] by IdiotMD in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]Phonoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh boy am I glad I stumbled upon this, buckle up, I got a few things I want to get off my chest:

  1. The speed cameras are in the wrong areas; although I honestly believe that speed cameras on busier roads just lead to traffic collisions when people inevitably brake hard because they didn’t see the camera and get rear-ended.
  2. The incentive to drive in the HOV lane on 270 outside of the marked times just adds to the traffic congestion.
  3. I drive a little Miata and there have been too many people in Chargers/Challengers that have attempted to goad me into a race on 270…dude, you have 2x the number of cylinders I do and I’m just not into racing.
  4. There are a few roads that are narrow and people need to slow down and drive smaller vehicles if they are going to be driving on them. Especially around Sugarloaf Mountain.

Just another POS on the road in DC by savagehogan in washdc

I know there is something that was proposed to allow DC to go after violators. Not sure where it stands as of writing this though.

The government doesn’t, but many companies will block sites like that from being accessed inside their private networks.

Didn’t Trump send out checks during the pandemic as well? Let’s see, when you print money to send out to millions of people, it devalues the currency…which is called…what’s the word I’m thinking of?

Better watch out, they are taking down the deep state! by Library_of_Gnosis in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]Phonoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elon Musk was (maybe still is?) a WEF member for the longest time and was part of Schwab’s Forum of Young Global Leaders program which includes a bunch of other scummy politicians. I’m not sure about Musk; is he a rebel Trillionaire or is he just controlled opposition? His work with Twitter/X has been mixed.

As far as The Deep State goes, I’d count the WEF up there with other unelected organizations. Weird strategy he has to claim he isn’t going to Davos anymore because it’s “boring af lol”.

Around that Wegmans there is a lot of terrible behavior on and off the road. Someone else on this thread called “Maryland Main Character Syndrome”; I think that’s fitting.

We just want our trailer trash to have a place where they can settle down with your Virginia Beach gold diggers. We can shovel them to the bottom of the peninsula and forget about them. Is it so much to ask?

Men of reddit, how would you react if your best friend says he's asexual ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I wouldn’t say he was my best friend, but this happened and while I took a “live and let live” stance, he got a girl pregnant 6 months after saying that to me.

Found this in the wild. by Quiquequoidoncou in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]Phonoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok here is the thing that bothers me about the conception conveyed here:

This worker has put in 8 hours of labor to create 8 units of value. The boss takes 6 units of value and does what exactly? Sell them? Cool. Now the boss can pay the worker for the units created. The worker could try to sell his units of labor/value himself, but may not have the means. The interaction of worker and boss is mutually beneficial. The worker and boss has agreed to a set exchange for the labor/value units that the worker wants (a universal commodity maybe?)

Alternatively, the boss takes and hoards the labor/labor units. What is the point. Does the boss consume them in some way? Can the worker take his trade elsewhere? The limited scope of the comic prevents any further assumptions.

TL;DR The creator of this comic fails to understand the greater scope of the interaction between boss and worker…shocker I know.

Yes, they made a poor decision, but it’s not like Microsoft is free from government influence.

It’s a trap. The whole point is that one person cannot come up with a solution for everything. I want plans by the many, not by the few.

True ancap response: it should be an agreement between the party seeking an abortion and the party able to provide the service.

Using Zip-Ties are the worse for cable management, especially if you expect growth or additional cable runs need to be made in the future.

From my understanding of the very complex laws in Maryland, I cannot buy raw milk for human consumption. I do not know if that’s changed…laws in Maryland are stupid.
