How to Argue Like a Rothbardian

@Capital Pumper

You are a wild stallion that cannot be tamed. You neigh in defiance and never play the game. I think that saddle may not be good fit on you. NEIGH! NEIGH! NEIGH!.. is what you say.

Yeah, I have no idea what you are talking about, sorry.

Capital is practicing the literary art of nonsense. We have the next Lewis Carroll here. XD

I’ll have you know that drinking is not an art… my son.

[Esuric]

Wow, I almost forgot how funny this was.

@I. Ryan

Oh god, this was from like a year ago. It was actually painful re-reading my posts.

I agree. Your posts and mine.

You forgot to add the Rothbard tag team approach.

There are so many good ways to go about it but a good move to start out with is the “FTW non-sequicutioner.” First you wait for your opponent to set himself up by writing a fairly long, well thought out argument that, unbeknownst to him, is easily refuted by millions of readily available Rothbard quotes. Once he’s posted it, the first Rothbardian responds with a quote then the other tag-teamer finishes him off with an “FTW!”

This one is actually better if your opponent is already dizzy from the “platitudinous pwnslam.” This is where you chop your opponents post into quote blocks each followed by a brief one-liner response such as “fallacious,” “assertion,” “no,” “ur utilitarian,” “wrong,” “humans act,” “empiricist nonsense,” etc.

Example of a platitudinous pwnslam followed by an FTW non-sequicutioner:

@I only agree with a meagre 98.6 percent of Rothbards canon

(long thought out multiple paragraph response)

@Roth2thIzzoBard2thIzzay

@I only agree with a meagre 98.6 percent of Rothbards canon

(paragraph one)

Wrong

@I only agree with a meagre 98.6 percent of Rothbards canon

(paragraph two)

Humans act is synthetic a priori.

@I only agree with a meagre 98.6 percent of Rothbards canon

(paragraph three)

Go. Read. Rothbard.

@I only agree with a meagre 98.6 percent of Rothbards canon

(paragraph four)

Wow, this was fun to read over again. Is Juan still here or was he banned?

[Marko]

He was banned. He posted briefly on the anti-state board after that.

[vive_la_insurrection]

Holy crap what the hell is this thread doing back?

[Autolykos]

Malachi had to LOL at it.

[Neodoxy]

Wow, this thread was hilarious. Lolololololol
