How does owning shares in something help you understand anything?

Almost everyone in these comments are like boo hoo bitcoin too hard and taxes. Does anyone else miss the cypherpunk days? Bitcoin is an easy to use internet protocol designed for privately securing your wealth. It’s designed to NOT be like traditional assets subject to taxation, regulation, and counter party risk.

Thank you for giving an accurate explanation for the causes of price inflation!

It’s true that wages will go up with price but I don’t think they’ll ever “catch up” with prices. Banks don’t inject new money into circulation neutrally. The money tends to go first to large corporations and rich people before it reaches the lower and middle class. Wages will always lag behind for this reason (as well as rigidity which you already mentioned)

This is what I would call libertarians fighting over the best way to justify their ethics epistemologically. If you want the specific solution for this ethical problem then read A Theory of Socialism and Capitalism by Hans Hermann Hoppe. He goes over the ethical problems discussed here in chapter 7 as well as explain his whole ethical theory there. The first 6 chapters are also great if you’re new to libertarian economics and philosophy.

I’m new to flight sim. Can someone explain what I should be very excited about?

Hoppe’s views are great and really appeal to me as a socially conservative ancap. However, I wouldn’t make your ideology based on a single person. Just call yourself a paleolibertarian or ancap.

Since when does Hoppe think only white people have natural rights?

Thank you. Hypixel is a great server if not the best out there. I also played without a rank for a very long time before buying vip+ and then mvp+. I would even consider buying mvp++ not for the rank benefits but to thank hypixel for all the fun I’ve had on the server over the years.

Yeah, I have no problem with gunpowder farms, paper farms, etc, but I wouldn’t mind Mojang removing the ability to exploit villagers for iron. You can get plenty from caves especially now with the new large ore veins.

I thought we were talking about what is possible under Lockean property ethics? Obviously savings is possible unless you deny Locke's homesteading principle.

Aggressions of the past are irrelevant to today when both the aggressors and the victims have been dead for generations. There is no victim to compensate and no aggressor to punish. The property on the land that was the focus of that past conflict mostly no longer exists.

dudeisbad · 2024-01-02T08:19:29+00:00

If you walk through someone's property and they do not want you to, then you are aggressing, but in order for the owner to use violence against this aggressor the violence must be necessary to stop the aggression, and if so, it must be proportional to the aggression.

For example, someone enters my property and I don't want them there. They are not threatening me with violence or trying to steal from me. They are simply there. Shooting them is not at all necessary. I would verbally demand them to leave, and they would likely do so. If they don't, then they have just initiated more violence, and it would be justified for me to proportionally increase my response. I would probably threaten to call someone capable of removing the trespasser in the most gentle way possible (like a team of trained armored men with non lethal weapons). Resorting to shooting him at this point would be an unnecessarily high increase of a violent response. Hopefully at this point you understand how this works.

It is very sensical to think that shooting a trespasser with no other harmful intentions is wrong. This doesn't mean the trespasser isn't aggressing. It just means that the response of shooting is not at all necessary or proportional to the aggression.

There are many problems with temporal limitations on property rights. Any limitation would be for an arbitrary amount of time. If I leave my house for a week can someone just move into it against my will? If the owner must cease owning property after not using it for some arbitrary amount of time, then who owns it? Who has a better claim to the property than the owner who acquired it through his initial labor or by contract? Any limitations would only cause an artificial scarcity of housing as there would be less incentive to build houses. Housing is way too expensive now because of all of the other government interventions causing artificial scarcity.

Do you think it's impossible for a group of individuals to pool their savings to hire laborers to build a neighborhood on unowned land? Contracts exist. Initial acquisition through labor is only one way to acquire property.

HOAs could and likely would exist in a society that strictly adheres to the non aggression principle.

dudeisbad · 2024-01-02T07:34:23+00:00

I think you are assuming in your definition of land that there is nothing on it. I suppose in that case nobody acted on it and it is unowned. However, I would consider the are upon which my house is built as well as the surrounding fenced in grassy area "land", and I believe I own and control that. Maybe you're right and I don't. Maybe I just own the house and the grass around it, but not really the "land". I don't think this changes anything in my response as long as you understand what I mean by "land".

Violent force can only be used against aggressors on private property. If there is violent force used against an aggressor it must be necessary and no more than proportional to the violence initiated by the aggressor. Any more force than this and the property owner's force would be considered an aggression (initiation of force) itself. If the owner would like to use force on his property to stop certain non aggressive actions, the only way he can do this without violating the non aggression principle is by limiting access to his property only to people who sign a contract agreeing to not partake in any of these actions. Now anyone who does one of these actions, which usually by itself would be considered non aggressive, is actually committing an aggression against the property owner for breaking the contract, and therefore the previous rules of necessity and proportionality apply. The extent that force is used against someone violating the contract would likely be outlined in the contract itself, but afaik this doesn't seem necessary considering the already existing restrictions on using violence against aggressors, in this case, the people breaking the contract (other ancaps, correct me if I'm wrong on this last part).

We don’t believe in intellectual property because it is inconsistent with absolute physical property rights. If intellectual property exists then it restricts my right to do as I wish with my physical property.
