I'm just a average Joe with an over active imagination and too much interest in Austrian Economics, Bitcoin, and history

Either this is a boring troll, or just someone with no understanding o history.

It doesn't matter I just lost my last fuck.

No. I was inside them this fall. And as impressive as they are, they are just piles of rock.

Yeah...no I'm 100% positive they weren't used for anything but burials

I'm pretty sure I've never claimed there would ever be a stateless utopia. That's the fever dreams I early communists. Human existence is always different grades of hell.

But if you want examples of active anarchy. Our conversation here is one. Neither of us is forced to engage. Most interactions in our life are voluntary and anarchic. And this is good, since neither of us are forced to converse, that limits the verbal abuse and incentives using reason.

I would believe power should only given to people through voluntary means. IE I trust my surgeon, and so I accept his orders within grounds of his expertise. Any power taken through violence or threat of violence is not moral, no matter the pageantry it's is wrapped up in.

I understand my view will not be accepted yet, but I'm willing to meet half way by supporting massive secession of polities.

Dammit I smashed bought at 80k. Hopefully Sats stay on sale until payday

Pax Romana should not be romanticized as it is, IMO. Firstly the governance of individual towns was so decentralized it could be considered near anarchic. That's not to say Rome wouldn't of loved to crush all under its boot, but it was limited by technology.

Secondly, the vice and moral decay of Rome, and the short sighted plans of it's politicians are well documented. These laid the ground work for it's decay and demise.

Third, it's growth and wealth was based on the sword and blood. Hardly fertile ground for a virtuous governance.

A good counter factual would be if a empire decided to grow itself through tade and not conquest. How much capital was wasted in military efforts that could of been better spent elsewhere. An old example is the small cities of the medieval peninsula of now Italy.

A just government is an oxymoron. They exist as a territorial monopoly of force, for every good they must first create a bad (theft).

Some are less aggressive and pernicious as other but we are rating of scales of immorality. Any study of history will show this as well.

Anarchy is not a utopia, but a recognition that it's better to decentralize the power that men have, as power is a force multiplier for evil. While it could be used for good, history has shown that man is not good with power.

I also understand that currently the idea of anarchy is considered unattainable, but if you look at history this was also thought of the idea of abolishing slavery.

The crazy part is because nutritious food is expensive,and slop is cheap, the poor people are starving at a cellular level. They have to pound so much crap food for what little nutrients they might get.

I wonder if he started with just a small percentage in Bitcoin, but Bitcoin did Bitcoin stuff and is now over took his other investments

And that's why every person needs to check and confirm their premise and arguments. Especially on the things they are sure they know.

Glad I stacked when I did. Missed the bottom of the dip by an hour.
