This legally is no different from taxing you for transferring money from your checking to your savings account & remember it always starts as a small tax on a niche thing that not many people own
@Inu_Loki Oh I wont be suprised, abd I dont think factories invented child abuse. People used to simply do it at home. I think you believe im advocating for kids in factories lol. Im not. Im saying that the evils of the past weren't invented during the industrial revolution
@Inu_Loki I do agree with you the factory shifts were horrible BUT people way overly romanticize the time before that. I blame specific painters who painted romanticized peasants at the turn of the century. Notably William-Adolphe Bouguereau, Jules Breton, and Jean-François Millet.
The free market relies heavily on whistle blowers to work. Uncovering crimes against humanity within a buisness and working to expose or stop them IS very free market of you. Dishonesty should make some one so risky to do buisness with that they don't get buisness.
@VCHK_LVNA@k4_nobody The subjective theory of value is the only theory of value that is correct. Time = value in that it has value, but even that value is subjective.
There are hundreds of other counter-arguments for communism on top of communists being evil. Let me list some of them right now.
- The Economic Calculation Problem
- The Knowledge Problem
- Supply and Demand
- The LTV being easily debunked
- The Centralization of Power is inefficient
- Fixed Pie Fallacy
- Regulatory Capture
- The Historical failures of Collectivism
- Reduced Innovation
- Incentive Problems
- The Lack of Price Signals
- Public Choice Theory
“Le communists are evil” isn’t even our main argument against communism. Most of our arguments are economic, informational, or institutional. And these are only some of the arguments from a libertarian/classical-liberal perspective. Neolibs, conservatives, Keynesians—hell, even socialists—have their own arguments against communism.
The Nazis claimed racial science was settled.
The Soviets claimed Marxism was the science of history.
An Austrian refugee debunked both with one word. 🧵
Isn't it kind of weird how people who were rabid in 2018 about DEI ect have chilled out? They are certainly upset about the current admin but they aren't roaring around getting people fired and canceling people anymore. When did that... disperse?
I like the Freedom Caucus, but attaching the SAVE Act to warrantless spying is dumb. Why would we let the government spy on us in exchange for anything?
After we trade the Fourth Amendment for parliamentary advantage, what shall we trade the First and Second Amendments for?
@k4_nobody Akso alot of people hugely misunderstand what it was like to be a child prior to this, and wgat life was like. It IS far more romantic to die of starvation and disease in the picturesque countryside lol, but the world was just as difficult to live in, maybe more.
There are two and only two ways that any economy can be organized. One is by freedom and voluntary choice—the way of the market. The other is by force and dictation—the way of the State.

Since we live in an overly taxed and subsidized system anyways- I don't think companies that can afford to pay CEO's exorbitant incomes or plan to increase CEO income need money for public subsidy. No idea how THAT would be enforced. Looking at you hospital admin lol.
cracking up that the replies are almost exclusively Americans saying that every shower in the whole dang country inexplicably has different controls and all of us do the same humiliation ritual at hotels
The cool thing about Mandomi is watching the media be unreasonably nice to him all the time 🤣 I didn't know they could do that. What is that? Also nice because if something fails people need to understand it was the concept that failed, not because HE was being attacked.
