It’s the exact same with ancaps, all free market till you put spam on their network 🤣
Discussion
From ancap point of view you don't have right on property of others. So if you want for example post on nostr relay operated by ancap, he can blacklist you because he don 't wan't provide you his disk space. On truly free market you can't force other to providing you service when they don't want.
Also i can set my client to ignore your post, because it's my client and i can do what i want with it.
I also can tel other that you are bad person so they need to ignore you. It's their decision of they do it.
Only case when it's not free market is, when somebody want use state power to stop your spaming. So do you have exmple when ancap used state power to stop spam?
To everything you said, i agree. Not state power, consensus power. Power being an overall incorrect term but I’ll roll with it. Many bitcoiners bitch about inscriptions on the bitcoin network ‘forcing me to store their data on my node’ all while within consensus rules they agreed to. Technically not ‘their network’ and their argument is purely narrative, but that is literally my point to their principles. Not to say all do, but a number do and it stands out.
Key word 'their' implying ownership. They are free to do what they want with is what is theirs.
💯!!! Calling out conflation of bitcoin’s ability to provide free market rails and people thinking their agreement to consensus means it’s suddenly belongs to them enough to tell others how to virtuously act with it while claiming any form anarchism.
Yea I would expand on Lyn's original comment to be many libertarians and anarchists are really just collectivists of various stripes. They are just rightly disillusioned with the uniparty, and latch on to something that hits some of their beliefs but not being philosophically grounded, always get hyper tribal and run back to Daddy Gov when shit gets tough or whenever some politician tickles their fancy (see the Milei and Vivek slob fest for what I mean).
Exactly. It’s understandable and unfortunate but definitely a better to and fro than what normies see as a to/fro between left and right versions of statism.
One of my favorite memes. Kinda fitting for the topic😂😎
Love it!
I had long said half joking half serious that anyone not an anarchist is a communist to some degree. Then came across this about a year ago. It was perfect
More or less, yeah. And at that level you’re left with ancap or agorist, if not pure anarchist - any of which takes more marshaling of personal responsibility than most would prefer, instead opting for society carrying them. Entropy is a bitch.
Anarchy is disentropic, both voluntaristic anarchy and violent anarchy.
