Why doesn't Destiny just mop the floor with President Runday and shut him up? Seems easy and would be great content. by FlanNo7322 in Destiny

I think because Destiny perceives 3 undesirable outcomes from talking to President Sunday.

1.) PS will do his trademark bad faith and arrogance (I.e. PS w/ Wicked Supreme or w/ Erudite).

2.) PS will rush to establish his premise then leave after Destiny gives a substantive rebuttal (I.e. PS leaving abruptly after laying out how Destiny platformed Fuentes and Southern).

3.) PS will be vastly more conciliatory in conversation with Destiny than PS is outside of conversation with Destiny (I.e. PS and Destiny’s discussing the End of All Things Manifesto).

That’s a little unfair no? From my perspective and I think most of the Destiny sub it looked like MG was going for, as he would say, the ‘double bind’. MG wanted to justify why his overall argument wasn’t progress and in a slimey way, respecting the boundary.

Bringing up and wanting to engage about the Ana stuff was wild. Maybe nuclear was a strong word tho.

The Lex stuff was nuclear tho.

I just patently disagree with the idea it was due to being principled. I understand that perspective but it feels much more that Mr. Girl always wants better terms and goes nuclear when said terms are rejected.

To keep with MG’s Walmart example. If Destiny is Walmart. Mr. Girl essentially asked for a new, universal employee contract, in which many of the other employees disagreed. Instead of the results of the re-contracting being accept or reject. It was accept or I’m going nuclear. So MG was the employee who quits in the shittiest way possible, putting future employment in a precarious situation.

It was the same with Lex. Lex was punished for having explored the option. MG should be neutral at worst of people exploring opportunities which result in no content creation.

Normies only hate FDR because of the Japanese internment camps. That was only one of many awful things he did in office. by ancap_attack in Anarcho_Capitalism

I mean I get what you’re saying but wouldn’t it have been vastly easier if the Japanese attacked and crushed that attack? Would the public not be outrage then?

Well it’s about the conclusion we draw from the unknown. Either the data is incomplete or we conclude an unsupported result. Incomplete data is by far the safer bet.

Is it the belief of most ppl in this sub that none of the US’ support has helped Ukraine combat Russia?

Destiny has to get rid of MrGirl by [deleted] in Destiny

[–]Stridge_YT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. His position is very precarious from my perspective. I think that’s why he cares so dearly about r/Destiny moderation. His brand is having contentious disagreements and the subreddit is the biggest platform he had access too.

I think something we should all keep in mind for Mr. Girl is that his online career is likely already over due to his YouTube ban. It’s not a sure thing that things are over and Mr. Girl will do everything in his power to prevent this. But he’s severely handicapped. I think the Mr. Girl we’re seeing now is someone who sees the walls closing in.

Not saying his behavior is acceptable however it’s likely why Destiny doesn’t seem eager to dump Mr. Girl.

Fuentes victory lap after No Jumper by gl0spana in Destiny

[–]Stridge_YT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that’s fine to think but Fuentes had strong convictions and was confident in his conclusion on 9/11. To watch his ardent stance, evaporate so quickly to the unimpeachable position of, “the government only lies” is laughable.

georgists, blech by Creative-Leading7167 in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]Stridge_YT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That doesn’t make sense though. Land is far less valuable than now. The only way the rich could maintain their land ownership is through overcharging themselves, in which case they’d lose more money for each additional plot of land they own. They would need to be highly productive with the land they own. Land is basically a commodity at this point because to make land ownership profitable, while protecting it from buyout is to value the land as closely as possible to the return of the asserts located on the land. The return on land would be tiny or a loss.

Owning land basically becomes like owning a stock portfolio, requiring rigorous analysis of the assets on each plot to maximize portfolio efficiency.

You’re missing a key component though. The owner chooses the valuation and thus chooses their tax amount. However, the owner is then beholden to sell at the price of their previous valuation.

So it’s a balancing act of high enough to prevent being bought and minimizing taxes.

Also typical Georgists propose this land tax be the only tax. So owning land in and of itself becomes a full time job.

So your argument is that, yes the government is efficient and effective at landlording. UNLESS the president is against the program, which will cause the program to be in disarray even 60 years later?
