Joe Rogan on the ‘level playing field’ versus competing and capitalism
warning: foul language
Ok so what do you think about this video?
If I recall correctly anubis2814 is a former libertarian. Not sure though…
That’s actually a very good video for the subject and is one of the first videos really promoting moderatism that I’ve ever seen which I would really consider quality. It focused on overhead which is a very important issue often overlooked by libertarians/conservatives, as well as risk. Both not given enough attention around here.
Flaws
-
Correlation equals not causation; every nation is different in its peculiar circumstances/ failures successes
-
Unions did not make the American dream, wages rise with or without unions as companies seek to compete and hire new labor
-
Welfare is not an efficient system, I don’t that he stressed the internal working inefficiencies it has (makes people unskilled and resilient to work as well as breeding bureaucracy) but also as I recall sieben did some research and discovered that half of all welfare spending was literally wasted in overhead
-
He assumes that large charities or something of the like would not emerge in an anarcho capitallist society in order to rectify all of the problems that these people believe will arise. What do you think the majority of these people would do if anarchy was going to come about tommorow? My answer: form collective organizations to provide for collective and social goods, these would be far better because they’d be infinitely more competitive
-
Risk can be subdued somewhat by collective organizations such as corporations, otherwise this was a good point although certainly in the past PLEANTY of enterprising individuals have been more than willing to risk and gain on the market through their own business.
-
He assumes that government investment in ANYTHING can be efficient, the education system is botched even though the government has been spending a huge deal more money on it in past decades. If government spending was enough to bring about good quality then I would be more than happy to support government schools because education is so important, but it doesn’t, it stifles. The same is true with science and unwise investment
-
He doesn’t consider what I consider the most important aspect of the fully free market society which is its full adaptability and the ability of people to start new organizations/search for new solutions without the veil of government and democracy solving the problem. People can’t fix what is not known to be a problem, thusly government hides the problems with a fake solution.
A million dead in Iraq? Some food for thought for Centinel and others still duped by the cult of bloodlust known as “neoconservatism.”

Gillespie made me proud. You gotta love the way he actually knows what he’s talking about and has no problem taking over the conversation to interject something of substance between the talking points of the know-nothing vampire on the left and the moron committee chair in the middle. There’s no way I could watch this show without someone like him in there to be the voice of sanity.

Progress 
:
“As Congress left for its August recess, the president had signed only 27 bills into law since this session opened in January. Some, such as the just-passed bill to raise the debt ceiling and a bill to extend Patriot Act provisions, were important. But most were more routine — five bills to name post offices or federal buildings, three to name members of the Smithsonian board of regents and four to keep federal airport operations running.”
15 “useful” bills passed. Could have been less, but ya take what’s given.
EDIT: Crap, that’s not the voluntaryist motto, is it?

LOL - this is a live graph… I was trying to keep a record of the crash yesterday. I’ll see if I can find a static JPG of it.
