@ComicDaveSmith always has such a great point on this topic: You can be best friends with someone who practices a different religion or doesn't believe, while thinking they are literally going to burn in hell for their lifestyle choices, but it's completely fine because neither is imposing their will on the other.

Unfortunately, progressives have turned the state into their church, and use it to impose their lifestyle and beliefs onto you and your children. The slightest pushback on this is blasphemy to them.

I'd also add, this is another reason we drift left. They push so far that their stance 5 minutes ago seems reasonable. In 15-20 years we will hear "conservatives" saying things like, "I'm basically just a 2020s AOC or Bernie Sanders democrat, they were reasonable".

@CptAncapistan @LinusEkenstam Even if we take the 2 degrees at face value, lets overlay a chart of Climate related deaths since the 1800s....I wonder why they never do that.....

[Ancaptain @Ancaptain12]

@ShepWestern @joereform @JohnTBTucker @iam_biglad1 Yes.

[Ancaptain @Ancaptain12]

@iam_biglad1 In free market capitalism, you gain wealth by providing value to other people, which is the only sustainable and desirable way of life.

[Ancaptain @Ancaptain12]

@ewarren Government deficit spending.

@joereform @JohnTBTucker @iam_biglad1 Lmfao....."The drivers would be able to if they invested in and risked capital to get the required infrastructure in place and then hired drivers to increase volume to make the business venture worth it!"

(Let's also forget government regulation is one of the largest barriers)

[Ancaptain @Ancaptain12]

@omgsidewalks The government does literally everything you just listed, and it is all unaffordable.

[Ancaptain @Ancaptain12]

@jacobselevator @iam_biglad1 There is virtually nothing progressives haven't controlled in the US since the early 1900s.

@timtationgg @AntifaSocialist @CryptoPowder @LPNational Proportionate to what?

[Ancaptain @Ancaptain12]

No.....Capitalism is voluntary exchange and private property — profit comes from providing more value to willing customers than they pay (or than competitors offer). That's the only sustainable path to success in a free market.

'Profits by any means necessary' is aggression, fraud, or theft — literally the exact opposite of capitalism. It violates the property rights that make peaceful cooperation and trade possible in the first place. Real markets reward value creation and punish failure through competition and consumer choice.

Laws (or rights enforcement) against those immoral acts protect the system; they don't exist because capitalism demands immorality. It's state power — subsidies, barriers, regulations, and coercion — that lets people profit without delivering value.

[Ancaptain @Ancaptain12]

No. The $200 is the subjective market value consumers place on the final good — not 'labor embodied.' Your wage reflects what competing employers bid for your marginal contribution in a voluntary contract. The rest rewards the entrepreneur for risking capital, coordinating production, and bearing uncertainty. Without that, you don't magically get $200 alone. This is just recycled Marxian LTV nonsense that Austrians refuted over a century ago. Value isn't stolen — it's created through catallaxy

[Ancaptain @Ancaptain12]

@AntifaSocialist @timtationgg @CryptoPowder @LPNational Absolutely not. I get paid for 100% of my labor by my employer at a mutually agreed upon price. I'm failing to see where you're going with this.

[Ancaptain @Ancaptain12]

@AntifaSocialist @timtationgg @CryptoPowder @LPNational I can't find anything they've stolen, where do I find that? I will stop working for them if they are stealing from me.

[Ancaptain @Ancaptain12]

@timtationgg @CryptoPowder @AntifaSocialist @LPNational ....a profit based system is unequivocally not stealing my labor...the government is stealing my labor with the threat of prison or death. That literally has nothing to do with capitalism.

[Ancaptain @Ancaptain12]

@timtationgg @CryptoPowder @AntifaSocialist @LPNational I mean stolen by the government. Capitalism is providing me the opportunity to even use my labor for something other than grueling homesteading.

What defines a Slave Stater?

- Slaves work for their masters (income tax).

- Slaves may not carry arms (gun prohibitions).

- Even the children of slaves must be conditioned according to the demands of their masters (school monopolies).

@CptAncapistan @grahamformaine Jesus Christ, it's so tiring.

If you denominate US GDP in gold instead of dollars, the chart is wild.
