Vichy, can we please change the subject? I really enjoy reading your takes on philosophy and economics, so I really don’t want to have to moderate you.
lol. I don’t care, I don’t find talking about political theory to be that productive to begin with. I mainly come here for the econ, and get caught up in the Libertarianism.
I find it funny you wrote this because you continue to avoid qualifying your opinion, and I think it is interesting psychologically, because you pretend not to care what people think about what you think, but you spend a lot of time telling people (whom you claim to regard as inferiors) what you think, and then avoid an honest defense of your opinions to those same people after expending the energy to share in the first place. I would call it futile if I didn’t think it was a coping mechanism.
We should dub you, “the intellectually inert cattle whisperer”.
I thought Vichy != Liberte
Anyhow Lilburne what do I have to do to get a response in the Dissent Ghetto?
Liberte, why do you post in this forum if you are intellectual superior to the masses here? Thnx bai.
EDIT: Improve your intellectual self-esteem?
“Please, checking my junk mail is more important and relevant than the miniscule effect I would have upon de-totalitarianizing politics, if that were even possible. Activism is a waste of energy, look after yourself and screw anyone who can’t.”
I think you mean “look after yourself and screw everyone” and look at that activism is fun again.
(sorry, I’m done with these stupid jokes, everyone try to friendly now)
Because I don’t really pay attention to the majority of you? I actually like reading Lilburne’s posts, and the Stirnerites are usually entertaining. I just don’t care for libertarianism, populism, leftism, activism, rightsism or morality. If I had more self-control, I’d just respond to the economics posts, since those are the only ones I care about enough to actually argue on.
Anyways, it’s not a question of ‘superiority’, it’s a question of aptitudes and inclinations.
And this is totally off-topic.
Bully! :raises a small glass of glenfiddich in a toast:
I’ll be friendly, and I certainly don’t want to create headaches for anyone. I just find it cute and a little sobering that people who claim to be so disinterested spend so much energy expressing their interest and opinions.
Whether you subscribe to argumentation ethics or not, pointing out performative contradictions (of which my posts to this thread may qualify) is always fun.
Making an assertion or an argument in no way entails interest in the listener’s opinions. That’s a plain fallacy.
Yes! I got her to respond.
Sorry, LS, I got her to justify something and you didn’t. 
If only’s and just’s were candies and nuts then every day would be Erntedankfest.
we could argue the semantics of what it means to be ‘interested’, if you are interested ?
I’m afraid anyone who doesn’t understand Schiller isn’t worth discussing it with.
Hey now, looks like the sidelines will have its own sidelines.
and now that you’ve posted that sentence you will go on to answer the question?
I should have written: “I would be interested to know how long Lilburne and other ancaps think it will take for enough of of society to become educated enough for anarchy to be feasible.”
By majority, I was thinking in terms of the United States or another large, developed country. How long would it take for a “critical mass” of people in America to become believers in libertarian principles, such that a natural order of anarchy would be sustainable?
Lilburne and DD5 have answered by describing a strategy of secession, piece by piece. I believe this is the strategy advocated by Hoppe. This seems more realistic because secession only requires a libertarian perspective in a small geographic area. I am doubtful, however that a movement like the Free State project would ever succeed given the power of large, coercive governments around the world.
Here is the quote from Skyler I am responding to in my previous post:
@LeeO, define majority. Majority of a city? a State? the Nation? Isn’t New Hampshire working on this?
“I sing as the bird sings that lives in the boughs; the song that swells from my throat is a reward that repays me richly.”
Thanks for that verse Vichy. Mises mentions Goethe a lot, so I’ve been curious about his stuff; very nice.
Education of the masses is technically far easier than having a lot of babies. The problem is that most people are extremely cowardly. This is where Stefan Molyneux hit the bullseye. How many people here do so much as educate the people around them- forget the masses? The appeal of babies is that you can just hide in your hole and not have to face anything.
