Just a lame libertarian.

Young conservatives are just socialists who want to be able to say the n word

Everybody's a strict textualist until SCOTUS says that the Constitution supports something they don't like

Okay, but I'm not against AI on principle.

This vision of America is at odds with reality. The U.S. is the land of opportunity. It's why millions of people are clawing to get in. We don't have a fixed pie, and we have civil liberties that make us exceptional. You can want to improve things while still celebrating that.

I wonder why people hate cops.

The 5th Circuit says a Houston cop reasonably killed two people falsely accused of selling heroin, even though his avowed reasons were contradicted by the physical evidence. https://t.co/1fFxv3awDG

I was told that tariffs would set off a manufacturing renaissance...

[Scott Lincicome @scottlincicome]

Every wonky champion of America's "strategic" tariffs should have to print out this tweet and eat it.

Literal fascism

If you actually care at all about community cohesion and smooth assimilation (rather than just brute ethnic makeup itself), you should obviously want birthright citizenship.

Socialism is the fire department arriving to your house a half hour after it’s burnt down

Capitalism is the low cost sprinkler system you could have installed

[Eric Boehm @EricBoehm87]

This is literally insane. Young people need to revolt.

[YeeticusFlex @YeeticusFlex]

This is peak retardation

The reason that Native Americans weren’t included wasn’t because of some “pledged allegiance” to tribal governance

They were treated as members of another domestic political community with a separate governmental authority.

Illegal immigrants are not

TLDR; she wants fascism

The whole 'You can't have open borders with a welfare state' slogan is so confused on multiple levels. Now, obviously, taking the modal scope of 'can't' just to be within the bounds of the NAP, it is trivially true that the welfare state, in combination with open borders, is not permissible. However, that aggression is only found in the fact of the welfare state. The welfare state is the primary issue here, not the borders. It might even be the case that open borders would increase the amount of aggression done via the welfare state, but that does not make the borders the primary issue, precisely because open borders, as such, are not a crime, which is why bordertarians rely on talking about other aggression in relation to the borders question.

So when someone says, 'You can't have open borders with a welfare state,' all it is saying is that the welfare state is impermissible. That is obviously not in contention. However, this basic fact does not make open borders against the NAP.

For example, let me give an analogy to show how absurd the argument really is. Imagine a country is in a war, and if this country were to lose that war, it would get taken over by another country, and that country would have higher taxes than the former. Now, the only way for the current country to avoid being taken over is to conscript its citizens. If it doesn't, the country will be taken over. Clearly, the libertarian position is not going to be, 'You can't have no conscription with this war going on.

Just like no one would say that abolishing conscription in this case is a violation of the NAP, it is this also the case that open borders is not a violation of the NAP.

Trump is trying to sell green cards to rich foreigners.

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

It is so incredibly rich that this administration has emphasized the horrors of socialism while seeking stakes in a bunch of private companies. You can't reconcile that.

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

A great thing about America is that we can set our thermostats to 65 degrees while Europeans bake without air conditioning. We shouldn't have to worry about politicians begging people to suffer in their homes during heat waves. We're way too rich & advanced a country for that.
