-> Anarchy is the natural state of things. -> Under anarchy, people have natural rights they are free to exercise. -> Anarchy is vulnerable to "overthrow" by collective (government) use of force (power). The government that utilizes power most effectively will displace the anarchy, regardless of how righteous the ideology of the other governments are. (Righteousness is not a necessary condition of power). This is binary (but situation dependent) - a government either does or does not have enough power to enforce the rules. -> The displacement of the anarchy is inevitable because there exists collectives / governments with ideologies that support the use of force to displace anarchy. -> Therefore, for the government with the most righteous ideology to displace the anarchy, it also needs to be the most powerful government. -> Corollary: if you believe libertarianism (the preservation of natural rights) is the most righteous ideology, then it is also OK to believe that a libertarian government can possess the most power and use that power to displace external anarchy and protect against external threats, with the goal of preserving internal anarchy (natural rights) for the citizens of that government. The disputes within libertarianism are usually not about the purpose of government, it is about how government can effectively achieve the above. Libertarians can truly range between pure anarchist and neocon. I believe that the libertarian party can attract more people if it focused official messaging on the importance of preserving natural rights and the benefits of that, while leaving the "how" for internal debate. @beinlibertarian @LPNational

@elonmusk Don't have to, we can just reference the past cases where they all gained power

If they’re willing to die to assassinate, imagine what they will do if they gain political power

it’s over for you. I’ve portrayed you as a lunar phenotypical LMTN chud, while I am the Martian visaged chad.

@wholyv @PerryALPHA found it

hear me out yall go find the person who first discovered and covered that this account was the first one to post the name “Cole Allen” in 2023 I have a theory that the person who covered it first has something to do with this account itself, because there is no way a dead account with a post made in 2023 could have surfaced up simply by searching up the name “Cole Allen”. when there are thousands and thousands of fresh and viral posts saying the exact name every minute.

@BreakfastQGame @IterIntellectus I have life insurance don't worry

@runequantum @IterIntellectus Then red is for those who the tribe values. If anyone in your life depends on you, you don't pick blue. If you have real people you care about (with more than mere emotions), you pick red. If you don't, you pick blue.

my only argument is that without blue button pressers we wouldn’t have communism or suicidal empathy or mass immigration or most of the problems afflicting humanity nowadays really

@TommyKtattoo @PerryALPHA Why is this so ominously based

@PerryALPHA Reality is Weird....

This account's only post was the name of the White House Correspondents Dinner shooter, Cole Allen

@HenryMa79561893 This is some Donnie Darko shit

Cole Allen

Fun fact, this does not hold with distributions besides 80/20. I've tried variations over the years and 80/20 is most accurate

Imagine a circle, with a little spinner on it that you can flick. The circle is 80% red and 20% yellow, like a yellow pie slice. You flick the spinner. It spins, and slowwwly stops. Where did it land?

@chainsandtrains @yacineMTB So mote it be

@yacineMTB Gotta drop in one of these now and again too

POV you are coding during the year of 2026.5

@yacineMTB Proceed per protocol and in parallel where practical

@BreakingTaps It feels like silicon ngl

Hard to describe the feeling of holding silicon in your hand that you've designed 🥺

Incorrect. The red button pushers believe they have no control over the outcome or they predict the outcome to be against blue pushers. Blue pushers predict that the blue pushers will win, because they understand there are a variety of reasons why some people might push blue and those reasons are numerous enough

Most people are approaching the red/blue question from the PoV of your contribution to the outcome. In reality, with 8 billion people, your marginal contribution to the outcome is 0. So we end up with this discussion about morality. But the question is more interesting: what is your theory of mind about what would the outcome be without your vote? If I thought most people would press red, I'll press that too. Not because I want to "contribute" to the outcome, but because I think the outcome is already determined. There was a poll running around where you were the last vote, and the results were shown to you at that point. The current split is 50/50. Results were >90% blue! I'd be curious to see the other way around: you are the last one. 60% pressed red. What do you do?

@basedganyu Wario World?

What if there was an evil heaven that all the bad people went to

@airkatakana There are arguments for it

hooters is allowed to reject applications from men outright so why on earth do we have a woman protecting the president? this is the single worst place to have dei, and women are obviously physically less capable of doing this job than men

@navyhato I'd tip my server. It's in the cloud though

Why does the cost of food have anything at all to do with how the food is brought or served to you? Should people just tip 100% to avoid confrontation?

@runequantum @DerekPederson3 Here's the regenerated image with the red button pushers in red.

@DerekPederson3 @grok can you regenerate this image so the red button pushers are represented by... red

Honestly this survey is an enormously strong cutting point against both right-libertarian economic views and "offensive realist" foreign policy views. The world just does not correspond to their beliefs about how it "should" work from theory. People are too damn cooperative!

@yacineMTB If you arent using all OSes including mobile and variants of linux you're NGMI

seriously literally who is still using windows these days

Blue is not democratic or left leaning. Only if you try to bully people into voting blue are you left leaning. In the scenario, its assumed (at least by me) that there is no coordination beforehand. In that case, voting blue is an individual sacrifice. However, trying to convince people to vote blue seems amoral

@subcountability This is a massively-overthought 'conservative case for voting Democrat.' Yarvin was roughly there at one point. So was (is?) Hanania. It's horribly lost.

Blue button is insane virtue signaling that (atypically and blessedly) actually has a potential local cost. x.com/waitbutwhy/sta…
