@GeorgeRoush@PlausibleStray And the fixture design matters too. Fixtures that ventilate poorly will shorten the lifespans whereas things like table lamps won’t have any negative effect on the lifespan
@lord_jakub_ For me it’s because they try to conflate a decentralized group of violent socialists with the general idea of opposing fascism. It’s a trick to make you accept the false dichotomy of communism or fascism
@HoppeanCJ@lpky They also weren’t denouncing degeneracy anyways, just pushing back against the typical conservative criticism that libertarianism causes or enables degeneracy. Degeneracy is a real thing btw , and isn’t always a dog whistle about the gays.
@HoppeanCJ@lpky That wasn’t what I was implying. What I meant was that you must know that culture is important in a libertarian society and that there are peaceful ways of maintaining a desired culture. So, even if they were denouncing “degeneracy” that doesn’t make them non libertarian.
@HoppeanCJ@lpky They literally just said that libertarianism doesn’t require the celebration of degeneracy, they didn’t even say they were opposed to it. Aren’t you a fuckin hoppean anyways?
@OrthoGrievous@Hoppeism Why wouldn’t the mom and pop pay, it’s in their interest, and why would that make the medium and big businesses not pay? The road being repaired is in everyone’s best interest, and big businesses that hurt their own business out of spite aren’t gonna be big, or last long
@OrthoGrievous@Hoppeism Law is natural and objective. The court, doesn’t make law, it evaluates the application of it. We reject the idea of positive law (that law is made by an authority) in favor of natural law. Which court to go to would be agreed upon by both parties.
@OrthoGrievous@Hoppeism There wouldn’t be a standard for security, it’d be up to the owner to evaluate the risk and decide what’s appropriate. If their property is damaged and the perpetrator can’t be found, they’d have to cover the costs. If there’s little to no risk, security measures are a waste.
@OrthoGrievous@Hoppeism The “build another road nearby” point definitely doesn’t apply in every case, I was saying that within the context of the hypothetical, my main argument was the incentives to work with or purchase the road from the owner
@lord_jakub_@HoppeanCJ Not a criticism btw, I think the 3 tier class system is better philosophically than the binary system that Ancaps usually use, and the “rebranding” is better optically.
@lord_jakub_@HoppeanCJ “Anti-capitalist according to a different definition of capitalism than you use” it is so fuckin funny to me that agorists got accepted by left anarchists bc they rebranded capitalism as agora and cronyism as capitalism
@OrthoGrievous@Hoppeism The mediator would probably be the property insurer of the owner, if they have one, or private arbitration courts who would set standards of evidence and have their own way of enforcing their decisions.
@OrthoGrievous@Hoppeism It’s less likely to be the owner, but they might make a contract with insurers to take liability in exchange for endorsement of the roads. If a road is especially bad, an insurer could stipulate not to use it and not cover damage if you do, the owner would wanna prevent that.
@OrthoGrievous@Hoppeism That’d be a very situational thing. If the road isn’t built to the standard of the contract, then the contractor. Whether or not the insurer is held liable depends on the insurance contract of the individual drivers.
