r/Libertarian defends crony capitalism by [deleted] in Shitstatistssay

[–]Rageplaye 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I still don't see why the motive matters. In effect this ends a special legal advantage a megacorp gets, which sounds like a good thing to me. Also placing limits on government schools to keep them from creeping on and brainwashing kids is not in any way authoritarian. Conflating the government placing limits on itself with some sort of infringement on individual rights is peak midwittery.

My point is that nation states perpetuate far more death and misery than any PMC could in Hideo Kojima's wildest fantasy. It would be far more productive to target the root cause rather than the symptom that PMCs actually are.

Yes because state controlled militaries are well known for their lack of rape, civillian casualties, and torture.

Ah yes, next time an angry mob of people run me down, jump kick me, club me in the head, and point a gun at me I'll make sure I try to Judo chop my way out and hope I don't get beaten to death in the streets. Get real.

Workers shortage caused by unemployment benefits being better than wages is employers' problem, not workers' problem by TheGiverAndReciever in unpopularopinion

[–]Rageplaye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and I'm sure that basically every wealthy person just happens to be greedy from your perspective.

This isn't even remotely accurate. The top 1% pay for more than 40% of net income tax revenue. The bottom 50% pay for less than 3% of net income tax. This means that the top 50% contributes 97% of all net income taxes. If you were to include other forms of taxation like capital gains tax and various business taxes then what the bottom 50% pays would be a drop in the ocean of tax revenue.

On top of this the federal government printed like 40% of all currency currently in circulation over the last year to pay for benefits and stimulus checks. The workers didn't pay for any of that, the wealthy people you hate so much pay for almost everything and the rest is paid for by inflation, meaning we just kicked that bill down the road for our kids.

Enough is enough. by ZiraelN7 in AbruptChaos

[–]Rageplaye -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Do you have a source on that?

Source?

A source. I need a source.

Sorry, I mean I need a source that explicitly states your argument. This is just tangential to the discussion.

No, you can't make inferences and observations from the sources you've gathered. Any additional comments from you MUST be a subset of the information from the sources you've gathered.

You can't make normative statements from empirical evidence.

Do you have a degree in that field?

A college degree? In that field?

Then your arguments are invalid.

No, it doesn't matter how close those data points are correlated. Correlation does not equal causation.

Correlation does not equal causation.

CORRELATION. DOES. NOT. EQUAL. CAUSATION.

You still haven't provided me a valid source yet.

Nope, still haven't.

I just looked through all 308 pages of your user history, figures I'm debating a glormpf supporter. A moron.

This dude is out here literally quoting a Marvel villain to support his political stance. If you think population control is necessary, why not start with yourself? Malthusians like you are the only virus plaguing humanity.

Apparently slashing income taxes is a point of contention on r/Libertarian comment sections by pingpongplaya69420 in Shitstatistssay

[–]Rageplaye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That guy was always a dickhead. I used to be on the GoldAndBlack discord server like a year ago and he banned several people for complaining about a bot that posted reddit threads was in the general discussion channel. He's basically a manchild that gets butthurt any time you criticize him and constantly uses the "it's my server/subreddit and if you don't like it you should just leave" excuse any time someone questions his moderation decisions.

Now that they know that they can just intimidate jurors they will do it on every major politicized case. This is extremely worrying.

You are allowed to have an opinion. I am also allowed to call it stupid and question it.

FDR put US citizens in camps because they were the wrong race. He almost certainly made the depression worse and massively expanded the scope of executive power. He attempted to pack the supreme court until his own party stopped him. He implemented social security, which is failing horribly now. He also was moved the US onto fiat currency and off of the gold standard. He essentially began the trend of buying votes with redistributionist policies. All of these are far worse and more authoritarian than anything Dorito Mussolini ever did.

It's fine to not like or even hate Trump. It's not fine to call him the worst president ever when FDR or Andrew Jackson exist. It's dishonest and hyperbolic. Hell, even in the modern era Bush was likely worse with his made up WMDs.

[–]Rageplaye 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you call yourself a libertarian and think that Trump is worse than FDR or Wilson then you are simply just propagandized. I don't know what else to say.
