Poptech, drop the pretenses. You only showed up in this forum once, to praise the israeli army and to say pretty stupid things about how libertarians shouldn’t advocate drug legalization or at least pretend they don’t so as to not upset possible ‘allies’.
And now, you come back to the forum when people hint at the truth : your government is a bunch of murderers, especially the military.
The bolded parts are totally incompatible with the state. Any advocacy of the state, enters oneself into a contradiction, by the definitions you provided.
Juan, why are you now lying? I’ve posted in numerous topics, starting with one on Peak Oil. So try to figure out how to search the forums properly before you open your mouth again. It is telling that you have to resort to dishonesty like this when you are losing the argument. In regards to the Israeli army I was debunking lies and myths spread by people like you. It had nothing to do with advocating for the state of Israel. I also stated nothing about legalizing drugs but rather commented extensively on the negative health effects of smoking pot such as brain damage and testicular cancer.
You haven’t hinted at the truth but instead just spread lies and propaganda about topics you have limited intelligence on.
No contradiction at all. Unless of course you advocate for murder at will and theft of private property. Limited Government Libertarians believe in having a limited government to protect these basic rights. You will clearly see none of the definitions advocate the abolishment of the state.
Really? A compulsory monopoly of ultimate jurisdiction, with the power to unilaterally decide what services it will give you, and what you will pay for it, does not violate complete freedom of action?
What about the freedom to decline paying for defense services? What about the freedom to take my business elsewhere? The freedom to go bankrupt if you provide poor services? The freedom to only engage in voluntary exchange?
You are confusing the justice system with other “services”. One can advocate for one without the other.
Yes of course we need much less defense spending and more say in how this is spent. But I still advocate for a completely voluntary military mostly composed of reserves. I also support removal of all foreign bases not on U.S. owned soil. I am not sure what you mean by taking your business elsewhere. If you are referring to free trade, I completely agree, we should remove all government intervention in trade and the economy. I also agree that no company should ever be bailed out.
I praising it means defending it from your lies and propaganda then so be it. It helps if you actually have your facts about the Israeli army but then I actually know people who served in the IDF unlike your lies.
You are so mentally deranged you don’t even know what a neo-con is. They advocate for foreign intervention and bigger government so long as taxes are cut. Everyone who is not an anarchist is not a neo-con. This sort of deluded behavior is what I am talking about. People come here and get attacked by deranged anarchists who cannot accept other people’s opinions.
You first you would need to prove they are “murderers” which you can’t. All you have is emotional arguments not facts
A fact is that two planes hit the world trade centers and the structural damage from the planes impact and the ensuing fires caused a catastrophic structural collapse. An opinion is I believe you are a deluded nut job who likes to spread lies and propaganda.
Juan lets keep going with your lies about me, it is all you know how to do.
When you kill, unless you kill in self-defense, you are a murderer. Sorry if you can’t grasp such basic fact.
As to what happened in NYC, you don’t know, just like me. But unlike me, you parrot the lies of your government.
As to your posts in the forum, the majority belonged to the two threads I mentioned : your propaganda for the murderers of the israeli army and your stupid suggestion that libertarians should pander to conservatives (conservatives like you).
Ahhh, I see. The ideas of freedom only apply to the services which are deemed by PopTech to be services.
Do you advocate free entry and competition over restricted entry and coercive monopoly, in all sectors of the economy? Do you advocate complete freedom of action, as your own definition stated you must?
If yes…
Are justice and protection services?
If yes, how do you reconcile this obvious contradiction?
Yes, thats it! Lets bring the sunshine and rainbows of democracy into the dark corners of CIA activity! Let’s let the people decide where the money should be spent. Riiiight…
Im curious, how would they be paid? Taxes? And how does taking money from people, without giving them and option to say no, fit in with your idea of ‘complete freedom’?
The government has promised to provide me with services such as protection and justice. If I decide, as with any other service (such as medical service) that they are doing a poor job, and that I no longer with to patronize them with my business, can I do so?
I think you already asked that and I already answered. I suggest you scroll up.
Are you joking ? The people who fought against the british were the slave owning oligarchs who founded the american state. And the confederates were even worse. They were statists who fought for slavery and for the ‘right’ to run ‘their’ government without interference. None of these people fought for freedom. They fought for the state.
Although ordinary secession and individual secession are somehow related, they are not the same thing, at all.
Seph, you’re fighting a good battle, but minarchists will always defend the state. It’s pointless to attempt convincing them their government is criminal, because they can’t even recognize that distinction when it comes to taxes, they certainly won’t come to realize it when it comes to false flags.
People who believe in the state on any level, will always see those who understand the state as completely mythical and criminal as the crazy ones.
I don’t know that the US government did 9/11, but their official story is so obviously a lie, I wonder why anyone would believe them on any details re:9/11. One has to be very naive to trust anything their government tells them.
