@Wolfelynn195651 @JimMcMurtry01 I lived in the Knife.

Things are different in the north.

@RockChartrand Marxists celebrate their bourgeoisie,but they call them “apparatchiks” and “Party Members”.

@cosminDZS @jonkay Thank goodness we don’t get all the government we pay for.

@PrairieVeteran Bread and circuses.

As old as human civ.

[Bacon @RobertDocBacon]

@kevinbcarney @RockChartrand That’s a specious claim. Markets are natural to human behaviour.

Intervention and rent-seeking are also human behaviours, but their intrusion to markets isn’t a feature of markets but a feature of lazy people prepared to use violence in place of exchange.

[Bacon @RobertDocBacon]

@kevinbcarney @RockChartrand Scale doesn’t change the fundamentals: humans exchange; human societies create markets.

Human societies also create power structures, and two such always emerge: one group wants to exchange free from coercion, another wants to profit from exchange without participating.

@dubsndoo Struggle sessions.

Let’s be honest and use the historically accurate terms.

[Bacon @RobertDocBacon]

@kevinbcarney @RockChartrand Markets exist everywhere. They are intrinsic to human relations.

Government is not required for markets to function.

If I have something you want, and you something I want, we have an opportunity for free exchange. In a group of people free to exchange we have a market.

@RockChartrand Communists use Willie Sutton’s reasoning.

Bank robber Sutton was asked why he robbed banks; his reply was, “Because that’s where the money is.”

Communists attack capitalism because of Sutton’s Law.

@WayneMathison @R21289Jeff How did the country go bankrupt?
Two ways. Gradually then suddenly.

[Bacon @RobertDocBacon]

@kevinbcarney @RockChartrand Nope. The only role of government is to provide the mechanism for dispute resolution - which is accepted as a consequence of the state’s monopoly on violence.

The natural right to self-ownership has been trodden on by government though much of history - that’s been the rule.

@Tybernicus17 @LichTamara @ChrisBarber1975 @18houseHouse @CoryBMorgan Natives occupying private land at Gustafsen Lake fired over 10,000 rounds at police and CAF personnel providing LAVs as OPs. Early in the shitshow a BC gov’t worker was shot in the back while fleeing the blockade.

@PrairieVeteran Nobody saw this coming.

Who could have guessed that the guy that waved his credentials around and bragged about his great achievements in previous postings would deliver the same results?

And it’s not like he wrote a book describing his plans.

It’s a mystery.

@alechenrhin @RockChartrand Your altered mental state cannot create create a positive right to anyone else’s services.

And the“implied consent” in medical law and ethics doesn’t obviate a service provider’s rights.

Furthermore, no rights protect from consequences. Make good choices in life and insurance

[Bacon @RobertDocBacon]

@alechenrhin @RockChartrand Pretty sure the mess Obamacare made of the insurance market was the worst of all options - and literally the opposite of what everyone except socialists wanted.

But I only pointed out that services don’t become rights, and that insurance is how most of us mitigate risk.

[Bacon @RobertDocBacon]

@alechenrhin @RockChartrand They can opt out of treatment.

They can buy insurance too.

[Bacon @RobertDocBacon]

@HettrickMichael The economic contraction we’re seeing is structural - unrelated to immigration.

Yes, the number of non-resident immigrants has declined. No the permanent immigrant numbers have not meaningfully reduced yet.

Economic assessment based on TFWs fluffing the numbers is propaganda.

I am so done with these people. The harm they've done to genuine abuse victims, to my country, to reconciliation, is incalculable. All to protect themselves from accountability for the lies they've been telling. https://t.co/8sLvdtPEEV

@JasminLaine_ @katewerk Such merit contradicts The Narrative, Jasmine.

Such merit will certainly counter the prevailing wisdom in Pravda and Izvestia, wasting the tremendous investment .gov has in their message.

Such merit is recognition of ideas in competition with The Party.

That’s Thoughtcrime.
