@MentisWave @BionicallyE @LilithLovett This is equivalent to advising someone with a broken wrist that they should cut off their entire arm as a solution.

@BionicallyE @LilithLovett Abolish the fed. Abolish the IRS. Abolish civil rights. Abolish all three letter agencies connected to the above.

Good start but we need more than that, we need to make sure that someone like this could never get into power again. We need to future-proof this country from destructive man-childs who would wreck everything for their own selfish and petulant gain.

@JewellWill19884 @TheSittingT @TheGamingDoge0 @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave It has the right to what it collects from you in taxes.

@2vexy @TheSittingT @TheGamingDoge0 @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave What right does the state have to your wallet that the robber does not?

What are those "billionaire oligarchs" specifically paying our politicians to do? Grifters like Robert Reich will always either leave that part out, or outright lie. Don't fall for it.

@TheSittingT @JewellWill19884 @TheGamingDoge0 @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave How is that fair?

@2vexy @JewellWill19884 @TheGamingDoge0 @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave How about i take a cut of your earnings. It's only fair.

@JewellWill19884 @TheSittingT @TheGamingDoge0 @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave No? Because the robber doesn't have any right to my wallet. That's obviously different from the state, which is more equivalent to the restaurant.

@2vexy @TheSittingT @TheGamingDoge0 @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave Ok, so if a highway robber stops you on the highway and asks for your wallet I assume you'll have no problem giving it to him considering you chose to travel on the highway

@JewellWill19884 @TheSittingT @TheGamingDoge0 @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave But you chose to engage in taxable actions like working and buying things, you could have avoided taxes by not doing those things. So it's the exact same as the restaurant.

@2vexy @TheSittingT @TheGamingDoge0 @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave I chose to go into the restaraunt and order food. I did not choose to be born into the borders of a state. You are making a false equivalency. If someone put a gun to my head and told me to order or he'll shoot, you might have a point, but you don't.

@JewellWill19884 @TheSittingT @TheGamingDoge0 @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave If the restaurant is totally voluntary and not stealing, then the state is voluntary and not stealing too.

@2vexy @TheSittingT @TheGamingDoge0 @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave "Guys I can compare appled to oranges! I can make a false equivalency between an implicit societal agreement and a coercive relationship! They're totally the same thing guys!" Oh how convincing, they won't steal from you if you don't have anything... just like robbers.

@TheSittingT @JewellWill19884 @TheGamingDoge0 @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave You're not forced to pay taxes either as you can simply avoid working or buying things, which means you won't pay income or sales taxes. You aren't taxed for just existing.

@2vexy @JewellWill19884 @TheGamingDoge0 @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave Actually, you would be robbing them if you don't pay, their food didn't appear out of nowhere, and they need to keep paying their workers. Also you didn't say you were force into the restaurant, so you scenario is voluntary.

@JewellWill19884 @TheGamingDoge0 @TheSittingT @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave When I go to a restaurant and order food, I never signed a contract saying that I must pay for the food, therefore would the restaurant be robbing me if they forced me to pay?

@2vexy @TheGamingDoge0 @TheSittingT @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave Who decided that it was the state's property? The state? I don't remember signing a contract with the government promising them a portion of my wages. How is it any different than a highway robber "coming to collect his due" from passerbys if he claims its his by right?

@Blue_Owl_X @MentisWave @SenWarren The first-comers are not always the objective winners, that is an unjustified assumption.

@2vexy @MentisWave @SenWarren recourses are scarce thus we have conflicts (contradictory ends) ownership is a way to solve conflicts by having the first comers who mix labour with nature be the people who objectively should win sometimes it's hard to tell how should win therefore arbitration and the judiciary

Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me. It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.

@JewellWill19884 @TheGamingDoge0 @TheSittingT @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave How would it fit the definition of theft if the tax income is not your property but in fact the state's property.

@2vexy @TheGamingDoge0 @TheSittingT @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave "It's property" *looks inside* "Whoops, looks like you were born inside our borders, give of half of everything you make or we'll throw you in prison" totally voluntary guys, taxation doesn't perfectly fit the definition of theft at all or anything

@TheGamingDoge0 @TheSittingT @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave Both organisations are equally voluntary, the state doesn't steal from anyone, it just claims its property.

@2vexy @TheSittingT @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave The voluntary organization would violate your rights inherently, but the non voluntary organization that steals from you to fund itself does not inherently violate your rights?

@TheSittingT @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave Im unsure if he's discussed it in a YouTube video, he's written about these kinds of agencies in his written works.

@2vexy @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave Is there a youtube video he explores that?

@TheSittingT @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave David Friedman

@2vexy @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave Can you name names who said Rights enforcement agencies?

@Blue_Owl_X @MentisWave @SenWarren my view is just as coherent, if not more, than your view of property rights.

@2vexy @MentisWave @SenWarren that's why we no political party makes sense non of theses politicans have any values only whims that they want ,like you with government spending it's gymnastics

@Blue_Owl_X @MentisWave @SenWarren There's no contradiction in my beliefs, go ahead and demonstrate the contradiction. You haven't even justified your theory of property rights.

@2vexy @MentisWave @SenWarren you pragmatist that's not any coherent theory of rights work you don't go from a philosophy from the higher levels like ethics to lower one's like metaphysics it's the other way around no philosophy starts to justify something you want with other contradictory beliefs

@TheGamingDoge0 @TheSittingT @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave The issue is it's actually the rights enforcement agencies that would violate people's rights inherently, whereas the state doesn't.

@2vexy @TheSittingT @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave They don’t replace the state per say (because the state violates people’s rights inherently), they do what the state claims to do

@EkrJsj51581 @LPNational Ok libertarian lol.

@2vexy @LPNational Holy ai reply 😭

Won’t say who, to respect privacy, but some of the coolest famous people like our posts Freedom is popular, we’re moving the needle

@TheSittingT @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave It's a common term libertarians use to describe essentially companies that replace the state's role in their society.

@2vexy @Eriansdisciple @MentisWave Rights enforcement agencies? This is the first time i heard the term.

@NeoRothbardian Yes

Do you like the State?
