It’s antisemitism to call for a free Palestine?

Found the Zionist pedophile..

Your gaslighting doesn’t work here.

My name is Guy Christensen, I am a loud voice in the pro-Palestinian movement.

I educate people on the reality of Zionism, the atrocities ongoing in Palestine, and how to stand up for a free and better world.

I’m relatively young, member of Gen Z, who has a passion for political commentary.

We just raised >200k to feed Gaza and recently experienced the whole character assassination routine by Zio media outlets.

We can leave it here, but before we do, I'd like to clarify on insurance in the US. It's not a matter of regulation. This is a longstanding issue in the US that predates any requirements for employers by decades. Until the Affordable Care Act in... 2010ish, there was zero requirement to offer healthcare coverage, and even that's halfway to worthless in achieving that goal. Even today, many employers actually actively try to weasel out of their obligation to offer insurance with trash tier offerings nobody wants or can afford, or with tricks to skirt the triggering requirements like avoiding giving enough hours to workers and keeping them part time.

You can try to pin the blame on modern regulations, but that's just not the case. Businesses started offering it as a benefit during/after... I think WW2. So that's 60ish years between this starting and the government making any serious attempt to regulate the matter. And THEN, after 60 years of learning how this can be used to manipulate your workers and held over their heads, the government stepped in and... Enshrined the relationship in law. They at least attempted to make ALL employers offer it, which would have reduced the capacity to use it for exploitation but not eliminated it. Threat of unemployment is still at minimum a threat of lapse in coverage, and not all employers are obligated to provide.

Another reason I brought it up as my example is that it perfectly illustrates a way that the free market and lack of regulation FAILED people. People couldn't afford health care if things got serious. They couldn't afford insurance. Employers took advantage of this to make their most vulnerable employees extremely dependent on them.

And since I've said so much on the subject so far, do you know WHY this isnt a problem in just about any other developed nation? Because they all have fucking universal healthcare mandated by the government. So in your defense of ancap philosophy, you highlighted a great example of how the government can help you where the free market will fail you. But honestly, that sort of inability to capably grapple with cause and effect is pretty typical of ancaps, agorists, etc. They think the free market will save them when history has shown it would literally put them in chains and cages to sell them as chattel given the freedom to do so.

On my given scenario, yes, it's specific, but no, it's not imaginary. It's something that happens fairly often to people with serious health issues. They live in constant fear of losing health coverage, and employers exploit that. Not every employer, but more than most of us want to admit. Even when managers don't do it intentionally, these workers are at a disadvantage in all negotiations, and they feel serious pressure to not rock the boat in ways that typical workers do not. I chose this example because it's relatively simple, realistic, and illustrative. It's difficult to call it anything other than exploitive, and while you don't explicitly agree that it is exploitive, you also notably don't say it isn't and have to try to downplay my example because it effectively makes my point. It's also on the more extreme side because once we agree that consent and exploitation aren't mutually exclusive, you can contemplate where the line should actually be drawn, which is impossible so long as they are considered mutually exclusive.

As for corporations and concentration of power, I fundamentally disagree. This presupposes that the state predates wealth and allows for its accumulation. I say it's the other way around, the accumulation of wealth bestows the power to create a state and entrench your wealth and power. And to be clear, the state DOES use its power to protect the status quo, including who has wealth and power. But it serves wealth in doing so, not the other way around. This is my biggest issue with ancap and agorism. They want to stick their heads in the sand and pretend it's not an issue, but once someone gets rich enough to start hiring their own militia, they have a fucking problem. It's willfully ignorant of human nature. Most are good, but it takes fewer than most think to cause problems.

As for donations, I think it's simply a matter of return on investment. Libertarian Party doesn't win seats. They don't get power. Therefore, bribing them with campaign donations is meaningless. At least a bought off Democrat might spoil legislation for you.

On consent and exploitation, I don't think it's so clear cut. For example, take someone with a serious medical condition that requires a constant supply of expensive medication and who gets their insurance as a perk from their job. Their manager knows of their condition. They know that not having that medication is life threatening. The manager never directly uses their medical issue in a threat, but somehow, the sick employee who CANNOT tolerate a lapse in insurance coverage is the one constant made to stay late and do extra work on a fixed salary, i.e., effectively unpaid overtime. They do it without complaint because they feel like, even though it's not fair how they're treated, refusing would jeopardize their life saving insurance. Management fully intended that when they chose them to stay late, but they'd NEVER actually say that out loud. The worker consented to take the job for that pay and with those benefits, and they consented to that extra unpaid work, but I'd still call that exploitive.

And as for agorism, it's an interesting idea, so I asked around a bit here on nostr, but nobody seems to be able to provide a good answer for some of the same issues ancaps unwittingly face. It's a nice idea, but I don't see it as one capable of succeeding on its own as I currently understand the theory. It's like a slightly less naive, slightly more idealistic version of ancaps. Nice idea, fails to address the realities of how it will play out.

Those people moved there voluntarily moved because they *believed* it was a better alternstice, and that's an important distinction. Consent and exploitation are not mutually exclusive, especially with imbalanced power dynamics.

Clearly never done any research on American labor history. Look into company towns. That's what anarchocapitalism gets you. You don't get freedom, you get a corporate master who is much more demanding than the state.

I otrok může mít “svého otrokáře” a nikdo tím nemyslí že otrok vlastní otrokáře. 😉

Buď je úplne mimo tento súdruh alebo ja. Ja mám rád zmrzlinu, Bratislavu, dedinku v Uruguay, čerstvý vzduch, more, les, ... a nič z toho by som nešiel brániť. To neznamená, že nie sú veci, ktoré by som nebránil, ale teda krajina tam rozhodne nepatrí. Ale mám ju rád. Niektoré veci, ktoré nám rád však skončia a nahradím ich inými vecami ktoré mám rád.

Moja skúsenosť z precestovania celého sveta je, že Slovensko nie je vôbec ničím zásadne výnimočné (a Čechy tiež). Je samozrejme unikátne (už len pre tie divné jazyky, ktorými sa tam rozpráva a ktorým zhodou okolností rozumiem), ale za mňa v zásade nadpriemer. Čiže existuje aspoň 50 krajín, ktoré viem mať rád rovnako a sú z mnohých ohľadov lepšie (a v niečom horšie). Ak by som si mal vybrať krajinu vs bezpečnosť mňa a mojej rodiny, neváham ani na sekundu a odpoveď píšem z pláže v Uruguaji.
