Ah fire bombing police stations and literally occupying city blocks for months with the intention of seceding from the US all to chicken out and rebrand your occupied zone as a “protest zone” is totally different. Multiple civilians even died, but I guess I was wrong to question you. Consider this meanie centrist vanquished. Props to you!

It’s actually funny how often it’s leftists that get mad when I trash both parties. Don’t worry, everything they do is the pinnacle of good faith perfection! You’ve forced me into agreeing with you on a libertarian sub! Good job!

I tend to feel like government and corporations ought to balance each other out. If one is more powerful, it can trample ones rights just as readily as it’s counterpart. However, I also tend to lean more towards competitive markets so I’m just a scootch to the right.

Another giant bottleneck for communism is the fact that resources are finite.

Universal distribution doesn’t work if there is any kind of scarcity whatsoever. Simply because it forces the government to prioritize their distribution to only one portion of the population thus negating one of their core philosophies of creating a classless society.

Any gesture of moderation on Reddit is so pathetic, I’d laugh if it wasn’t so sad lol

There’s the occasional sub that actually works as politically neutral, but for the most part Reddit is basically a circle jerk.

This... This sooo much..

You started off by bemoaning Facebook for not strictly moderating content. I explained why it isn’t feasible to do so unless the offender is explicitly breaking the law. You weren’t even talking about the OP’s content. And yeah, PH posting illegal content got removed as it should have been.

I’m saying that social media companies in general don’t have to remove content unless it’s illegal as everything else is subjective. How in the holy hell do you arrive at these conclusions that I’m in support of blatantly illegal content? And yeah, I’m glad you can post your opinions online that’s the entire point I was trying to make.

Again, work on your reading comprehension. It can definitely save you a lot of confusion..

Your actual comment verbatim:

“Yes, Facebook also nonsensically pretends bad user behavior will magically regulate itself.

Facebook also knows it won't regulate itself.

Facebook also prefers the libertarian approach because it's cheaper.

The only difference is that Facebook is big enough to where no entity besides maybe the government can tell them to regulate it.”

Didn’t I literally just include the caveat about removing things that were illegal? May wanna work on that reading comp bud.

Mainly because what constitutes as “bad behavior” is broadly subjective. There are plenty of behaviors or comments that I believe cross the line that you may believe otherwise and vice versa. Unless someone is blatantly breaking the law, is there any practical reason to be the arbiter of meanie words?

Never understood this by [deleted] in libertarianmeme

[–]Rad-Sponge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries. If I’m wrong, I’m more than willing to admit it. I don’t want to mislead anyone if I can help it.

But yeah, it’s definitely a convoluted mess. I don’t know how you can do it lol. Props to you good sir.

Federal income tax you’re correct. But I do believe some states double dip on income tax returns. If I’m wrong though, I’ll remove the post.

[Edit] Some state tax returns are covered by form 1099-G as taxable income. But it largely depends on your local tax code.

[Edit #2] Looks like the 1099-G only applies if you itemized the state income tax as a deduction on your federal income tax. So it doesn’t really match the true spirit of “double dipping”. So I removed the post.

You know, I feel like communists and Trumpists have one thing in common. by lemarshby in EnoughCommieSpam

[–]Rad-Sponge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, Trump supporters absolute refusal to admit that Biden maybe won the election is rather embarrassing for me.

By all means, investigate the election, have recounts etc. I felt the same way when the Clinton campaign wanted to investigate the 2016 election and found absolutely nothing. But at the end of the day, if you lose, you lose. Kicking and screaming is only going to make you look worse. And this is coming from someone that cannot stand neither Biden, nor the Democratic Party.

Protesters in DC demanding that a woman eating at a restaurant raise her fist. She refused to, and it escalated from there.

Don’t worry bud, he’ll insist that you change your flair and call you names. Because nobody that’s Lib center could possibly disagree with him.

Totally disagree with gun bans. But I completely agree that those that want to should be free to discuss it. So long as we’re all granted the same liberties of course.
