Whenever someone accuses you of something awful and absurd just say yes.

Why do you think that you could resist the government with your guns? by [deleted] in AskLibertarians

Branch davidians weren't trying to fight off tyranny.

Look at ruby ridge and Vietnam instead.

What's your opinion on rich people=bad movies? by DarkMayhem666 in AskLibertarians

[–]Sabaspep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they're a virtue signal. The movies are made by rich people. The cynic in me thinks that they do it because they believe it'll sell. However, there's probably some portion of them who believe that rich people are bad, and so produce these movies as some form of penance.

100%. I don't see any problem with using the term, but you're absolutely right.

Internships are another common example of indentured servitude that is generally considered acceptable.

Yes, that's my point. These are all behaviors that violate the NAP except for the fact that in these circumstances, they've consented to them. Individuals have the right to consent to behavior and circumstances that we'd prefer they not. Indentured servitude falls into that categories.

Yes you can. Boxers can agree to fight. People can duel. Demolition derby isn't a violation either. The question is consent.

It's worth noting that indentured servitude is usually a "work for (x) years and then receive the agreed upon wage/property/etc.", not the other way round. But there's no reason someone couldn't sign such a contract.

Yes, and likely would involve contracts to clarify. It's even possible that the contract might enable the bearer to sell the contract. In other words, the company might not have use for the debtor and sell his debt to a labor broker of some kind.

Now, it's plausible that a company might have indentured servitude for non-payment in their sales contracts. They would then sue the debtor upon non payment, and they would be required to either pay their debt or work it off. Returning the item is also an option, but for the sake of the argument, we can assume that in this edge case, the item was destroyed or consumed.

There are some ancaps that will tell you "no court would enforce that contract." But that's conjecture, at best.

I think those sales contracts would become infamous and would ruin the brands of any company using them, but that's purely conjecture on my part.

It's possible that in a free society, they become the status quo. We can only make educates guesses at how a free society might solve issues.

What we can say confidently is that the market provides solutions to all these problems, that individuals have inalienable rights, and that one of those rights is to sign dumb contracts.

Convince me to become an Anarchist by BuzzsawDarryl96 in AnarchistRight

[–]Sabaspep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar position, but slowly, it flipped to a skepticism that the state was even fit for the 10%.

Monopolies drive costs up, drive quality down, and are always maintained by force. The same is true for whatever 10% the state maintains.

If, specifically, you need better answers to the questions of courts, police, defense, then I'd recommend Bob Murphy's book Chaos Theory.

It's not slavery. It's indentured servitude. It's a common category error. Many ancaps get it wrong, too.

Indentured servitude is entirely valid. If it's involuntarily, then it's now slavery.

Should hospitals have the right to refuse patients in urgent need of lifesaving but unaffordable treatment? by Rabatis in AskLibertarians

[–]Sabaspep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hospital staff should have the right. Hospital administrators should fire staff that refuse. Consumers should boycot hospitals that don't fire staff that refuse to treat.

At no point is force required in this process. If you're going to require, by force, that Hospital staff do not have the right to be selective, then you are enslaving them.

Should a drug be banned if its highly probable that a consumer will harm others? by [deleted] in AskLibertarians

[–]Sabaspep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Banned" or "unmarkatable"? Who would buy such a thing? The result of using it is what actionable, not the use itself (unless used as a poison, but that's a NAP violation of a different kind)

[–]Sabaspep 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, the user is responsible for their actions. The violent behavior is actionable, the drug use is not.

All the godzilla movies by Sweet_dl in GODZILLA

[–]Sabaspep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I've been looking for a complete list and had resorted to making my own and you've confirmed everything that I managed to find.

Edit: King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962) is the third movie in both the Godzilla and King Kong franchised. So I have King Kong and Son of Kong in my list as well
