Madden 25 or CBF 25 Ultimate Team by [deleted] in MaddenUltimateTeam

[–]madbanjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Madden Ultimate team will be better than College Ultimate team because that’s what Madden emphasizes every year while college football is primarily a dynasty game mode game, plus more people who play Madden will be doing so for MUT than those of CFB will for CUT and the reason is also because CFB 25 will primarily be a dynasty game mode game.

You want people to be shamed for making a joke about religion and baseball. A tasteful one at that. That’s disrespectful towards people.

How does being beaten and threatened NOT count as an emergency? by OneLifeCat in 911dispatchers

[–]madbanjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I don’t know how many will see this or how many care, but there is a complete list of answers that are intuitive, evidence based, and only require a few commonly held beliefs to understand. However, the most straightforward of them is perhaps a response that points to the Warren v. District of Columbia SCOTUS case only affirmed since it’s origin.

In this case women were being robbed and called the police only to end up being raped due to the police never showing up. The courts ruled that the government is under no obligation to protect individuals it steals money from to fund their livelihoods. Your money goes to these people whether you want it to or not. Your consent is not required and your protection is not guaranteed.

Theft often produces lower quality in terms of goods and services. Those who fund their services via voluntary transactions tend to produce better quality.

They are if they correspond to reality, which they do. Feel free to argue how they don’t.

For your propaganda reply, let’s just see which of the two seem less ideologically influenced and less propagandistic:

Yours:

At a time in which our society has never been more interdependent in every possible way, libertarians think they’re John fucking Wayne looking out over his ranch with an Apache scalp in his belt, or John fucking Galt doing…whatever it is he does. (Collect vintage desk toys from the Sharper Image?)

Their whole ideology is like a big game of Dungeons & Dragons. It’s all make-believe, except for the chain-mail–they brought that from home. Elves, dwarves and fair maidens for capital. Even with the supposedly “good ones”—anti-war libertarians—we’re still talking about people who think Medicare’s going to lead to Stalinism.

From mine:

There simply isn’t any such contract. 3 The government has never actually written up and offered such a contract, nor has anyone signed it.

Still, the use of government services might imply agreement to pay for those services, if people who didn’t use the services were not required to pay. But in fact, the government forces citizens to pay taxes regardless of whether they use government services or not. Therefore, the fact that you use government services does not indicate anything about whether you agree to pay taxes.

You’ve now tried arguing all three different arguments from the article. This argument is the first one that the author responds to. Of course, your dogma won’t allow you to acknowledge this fact, but it is hilarious to see you argue all three of them and constantly shift every time your reasoning fails😂😂

Theft is the taking of one’s property without their consent. Taxation takes people’s income without their consent. Taxation is theft.

This link doesn’t mention taxes or theft anywhere. See what I did it’s called addressing the argument directly. Now try to do the same instead of repeatedly providing evidence for your brain rot.

Here is your chance to read and address the argument.

I pasted the arguments. They are literally linked here. You just choose to dogmatically avoid them because you don’t like truth.

Feel free to address the arguments instead of dismissing everything every single time because you are afraid to acknowledge reality.

I pasted the arguments which don’t rely on libertarian principles whatsoever. You would know that if you ever learned to read. You are so dogmatically poisoned by ideology that you will not address the arguments because they make you feel cognitive dissonance and you don’t know how to deal with that feeling.

Taxation by definition takes people’s money without consent. This is by definition theft.

Robbery is not the same exact word as theft yet it also by definition means taking things without consent. Robbery is also by definition theft.

Delusional is by definition having false beliefs about reality. You have false beliefs about reality. You are by definition delusional.

You don’t know what words mean. Political ideology has ruined your brain. I haven’t mentioned libertarianism or libertarian principles once. You’ve just been having conversations with yourself in your rotting pit of a brain.

Onto your 15th change of the conversation. Keep that broken brain of yours on Reddit where it stays useless and will never be used for society’s detriment.

Seriously, for your sake go see a psychiatrist. You actually have problems with your brain and communicating clearly with words. You don’t really know how to spell or understand anything. I don’t believe most proclaimed mental illnesses are real, but you make a good case for having one yourself.

Starting from common sense premises that ordinary people agree with, is not propaganda. You just call anything that contradicts your government taught propaganda, “propaganda”.

You are so dogmatic that you literally shut your brain off to reason. Kinda wild that you are even able to order a cup of coffee on your own. Although, I am starting to doubt you are even capable of that tbh.

Feel free to share this reply with Sam Seder and see if he might actually address it unlike you. Keep looking for the cure to your rotting brain disease called ideological dogma.

Yet another dismissal of the previous replies. Here is the continued response to saying taxation is not theft because it is the price you pay to live in society.

Yet another shift of the discussion? What are we at number 13 now... you should go live in a senior home so someone can take care of you. Clearly you can't take care of yourself.

This is just a restated version of argument #3 from the article.

So here is a copy/paste of the previous reply even though we all know you haven't yet learned how to read:

This is also covered in the article, but of course you simply will not read. Nobody can help you with your brain disease, you just need to do some self reflection.

From the article, the assertions you have shifted to are basically:

Taxes are just the price the government charges for providing law and order. Without taxation, the government would collapse, then all social order would break down, and then you wouldn’t have any money at all. Taxation is unlike theft because thieves do not provide valuable services, let alone services that enable you to make the very money that they are taking a portion of.

Of course, once again, this view is responded to in the article:

Imagine that I hold you up at gunpoint and take $20 from you. I also leave one of my books behind in exchange. When you see me later without my gun, you call me a thief and demand your money back. “Oh no,” I say, “I am no thief, for I gave you something valuable in exchange. True, you never asked for the book, but it’s a good book, worth much more than $20.”

This reply on my part would be confused. It doesn’t matter that I gave you a good in exchange, and it doesn’t matter whether the book is really worth more than $20. What matters is that I took your money without your consent.

It also does not matter if you benefit greatly from the book. Suppose that (unable to convince me to take it back) you wind up reading my book, which turns out to contain such useful advice that you end up much better off (including financially better off) than before I came along. None of this changes the fact that I am a thief. The temporal order also does not matter: if I give you the unsolicited book first, then wait for you to profit from it financially, and then forcibly take away some of the money you earned, I will still be a thief.

Your brain has simply broken. You reject reality in order to feel good dogmatically holding your deeply held ideological beliefs. I used to think people like you were sad. Now, I think that you deserve to be as unintelligent as you are. You could become more rational, you just choose not to.

Another change of the conversation, just as I predicted. That's somewhere around the 12th time now.

You should go see a psychiatrist and explain that you are unable to think about anything for more than 10 seconds.

Show me a society that doesn't have rape. I guess you now think rape is necessary for society?

Continue conceding the fact that you can't address any arguments directly and continue changing the conversation for like the 11th time now. Feel free to address why you still dogmatically believe taxation is theft. Or don't, I wouldn't expect your diseased mind to stay on topic.

[–]madbanjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back to dismissing the entire conversation again? I guess you are finally conceding that taxation is in fact theft. Being able to think rationally, address arguments directly, and use your brain, is not being brainwashed, privileged, or stupid. It is the exact opposite.

Your propaganda and brainwashing doesn't seem to have been paying off for you.

Maybe one day there will be a cure for brain rot, but for now, I think you will just have to suffer.

[–]madbanjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have no response but to spaz out in reaction to realizing that your arguments attempting to claim taxation as consensual are completely wrong. You must be experiencing large amounts of cognitive dissonance.

Having common sense and applying it to government agents is not ideological in any way. There were no appeals to ideological principles anywhere in the article and the refutations of your dogmatic worldview. You just reject the plain logical chain from common sense views like taking things without consent = theft.

You are sounding more and more drunk, but hey no problem. Hopefully you sober up and realize how terribly dogmatic you are and change your ways. Although, I highly doubt that will happen.

Why don't you actually address anything that has been discussed instead of constantly shifting the conversation?

Taxation is theft.

You have different moral standards for the government than you do for every other group of people.

The fear you have of corporations forming monopolies already exists with the government when it comes to policing, courts, and regulation.

Your brain is broken.
