No one is being discredited except the people who posted pro-war stuff. I’m strongly anti-war, so what if one or 2 posters think its justifiable. Again you won’t find perfection/consistency in a community anywhere, prepare to feel disappointed wherever you might walk bigfoot (haha that gif got me to laugh).
I don’t care if libertarians want to discredit themselves by letting someone share their label and argue for more wars; I’m not a libertarian, so I could not care less about the label. Personally, I already think that Austrians are pretty stupid, with or without the pro-war stuff, but I did have at least some illusion that the posters on this site would at least, if nothing else, be strongly anti-war.
Being that I love to armchair psychologize; my guess is due to your own political bias you are probably much more willing to disparage this groups odd nut. That is if 99 out of 100 people here are strongly “anti-war” and one nut is calling for gulags and purges it will make you feel more self assured with your beliefs and quicker to call the kettle black than perhaps an ideology you find more palatable, even if that group had 2 out of 100 psychopaths.
MINOR EDITS MADE
I too am surprized that so many people are calling for another “Korean Conflict”. We never should have intervened 50 years ago , we should get our troops out of there now before one of them gets killed and give the politicians a reason to send in more targets. Our Military has but one purpose, to defend our borders. It doesn’t matter who wins in a Korean War part two. Capatalism will triumph just as it is doing in Vietnam and China. If the North attacks they’ll have to open the border. Half of their million man Army will probably defect. It’ll be a mess for a while but when the smoke clears there will be millions more consumers eager to buy your products. The third world gets it…Capitalism good Communism sucks. We don’t have to keep dying to prove that point.
““Well, South Korea is wealthy because of free markets and free institutions. The only way Communists can acquire wealth (and they do so badly, I might add) is by stealing it and enslaving their victims. So yes, I would have to say that the North Koreans are, in fact, criminals.””
This is simply untrue. S. Korea is wealthy because of the US military there spending all that money to build their infrastructure for them. We built everything in that country. From their Military bases to their shipyard’s, the US military built it.
