Your case against independent media reads like it was written by CNN. But to derive your info from the legacy, fake news media, is too puerile an appr...

There is nothing disproved about the fact that men can afford other men rights. History is blood-soaked with states denying rights, so I’m not sure yo...

Exactly, they stole the land and gave it to their friends. It’s an organized monopoly. Now you say I should become their friend, to enjoy “all they’ve...

No, it didn’t earn it. First it begged for it, as with war bonds, then it took it, as with income tax. Only after the money is seized could it provide...

The government didn’t earn that money, that’s for sure. It won’t give to anyone but itself. Brilliant. If taxes go up on shipping then shipping raises...

That’s a strange conception of freedom. Voltaire was right: In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one cl...

Note that they skipped the letter xi and went straight to omicron.

Slavery exists too, ssu. Any man can afford another man a right, and anyone can defend someone else’s rights. It’s as simple as that. If you need a st...

I’m well aware of that. Might makes right. The state can do no wrong. We’ve seen countless examples of it.k throughout history.

I don’t like that view because it limits application of rights, and makes them subject to abridgement or suppression by the authority that confers the...

I don’t think democratic policy change should entail the violation of basic human rights.

No you miss and evade my point, Tim.

Yeah, I know nothing about emissions control tech, but any tech that lasts for mere months ain’t worth it.

Do you need an authority to tell you when and where to shit, or are you an adult?

If your emissions control technology for automobiles worked for 3 to 6 months only you might think of a better solution.

It’s easier to ask instead of making things up. Just looking out for you.

I whined about forced covid vaccines and their shit efficacy. Let’s get those facts straight, pal.

How many black people did he shoot? And why would you assume their skin-color?

Here’s a recent case that ticks all the racial boxes for you. This case in particular shows how malicious the State is. They tried to convict him for ...

You couldn’t point to a single soul that you’ve protected save for yourself. A poll or appeal to majority is no repudiation of rights being violated, ...

We agree. Maybe somewhere people are voting for these policies, but none that I have seen. I also don’t think democratic policy change should entail t...

Of course there is a problem, but the puerile and weak solution is to let the state dictate how to solve it. All they’ve done, apparently, is to compl...

When the state forces you indoors, orders you to close your business, prohibits you from travel, do you tell yourself it’s like mum making you go to y...

A jury of your peers, the evidence, and the trial all disagree with you. One was armed and then subsequently, quite literally, disarmed. Rittenhouse p...

Violent mobs were roving around town burning down people’s property and livelihoods. Your “professionals” could do and did do little to stop it. Ritte...

When 17-year-old kids have to stand up to defend the community from violent mobs I think immaturity is the least of your worries.

It was good to hear the verdict because the American justice system is usually a woke joke. It’s not surprising that state’s case resembled the media’...

You used to obsess about fascism and racism until the exact moment it took power.

Oh, ok. Well, he differentiates between spontaneous and designed order. I can’t see how a centrally-planned economy can come from the former without f...

I guess I don’t understand the question. I was responding to the question: “Hayek's views would say that central planning is fine as long as it emerge...

There is supply-side and demand-side economics. So-called “trickle” kinds of economics are pejoratives, and not actual theories.

Hayek would point to his Local Knowledge Problem, which suggests that the vast majority of the knowledge required for rational planning exists outside...

I miss the times when business deals between a president’s son and foreign state entities would result in wall-to-wall news coverage, SNL skits, conde...

We should always remember: though a woman is more free to abandon her traditional role and seek protections from the state over other human relations,...

I think this has always been the case, frankly, it’s just that nowadays no one is insulated from popular opinion. Information travels so quickly that ...

Agreed. As a more recent example, too much ink was spilled about the rise in authoritarianism in the lead up to the pandemic, how it was such a threat...

We agree that we should limit the spread of the virus, but perhaps we do not agree that you can control a virus by controlling the citizenry. Covid-19...

Your description of the state as an overbearing parent is quite apt, so I can appreciate the analogy. But the fact you see it as your daddy does not e...

"Basic civics" now becomes "civic duty", as if the two were the same. The former is the study of citizenship while the other is a collectivist dogma. ...

Basic civics according to Mussolini. Jackboots, brown shirts, service.

You tried, I guess, but the teaching is so authoritarian and statist that I cannot help to reject it. The parallels between your beliefs and that of f...

But lockdowns, limitations on travel, gatherings, industry, trade, have and are occurring worldwide. All I can say is that it is weird that you preten...

How are compulsory vaccinations, lockdowns, limitations on travel, gatherings, not state control?

Can’t answer or refuse to answer?

Why would you want to know someone’s private health details? Earlier I was speaking about the compulsory vaccination in Austria. Austria plans compuls...

I don’t see it because you cannot show it. You’ve taught nothing. You’ve only asserted without evidence. Is compulsory vaccination not state control? ...

Your claim that the Covid-19 outbreak would be over already if there was censorship and state control is nonsense. Not only is it counterfactual, but ...

Good quote. But it doesn’t sum up Hayek’s view on emergency powers. The patriot act, the war on drugs, the war on terror, anti-communism, the pandemic...

I don’t see how my point of view leads to an authoritarian state, one that is able to resist the common will. It does not follow that my view of prope...
