I think yes (but I thought voting was pointless even before)
I think the pro-Trump argument is:
1) "we" have managed to rescind some of the ballot-stuffing measures
2) "we" will get such an overwhelming victory that they can't credibly steal it
then
3) Trump will actually reform DC instead of getting rolled by it again because
a)Trump now is more familiar with DC
b) Trump has taken over RNC and now has a deeper pool of A1 staff to pull from
and
c) Personal attacks on Trump have made him more motivated to enact real reform
I try to focus on my own life but I hope it all works out and "we" really do restore the Republic. Any energy I put into politics I try to focus on key actors (especially local) rather than just cheering for my team to win the cold civil war
if it was a false flag they'd do it during morning rush hour and blame ISIS
IMO this is either an accident or a hostile nation-state trying to cut US gov/military capacity without provoking mass support for war
Eventually nobody will sell bullets, or gas, or rubber, etc for USD notes or USD ledger entries
Eventually they won't give you green ink for any number of your paper faces
Great, I'll hire you for marketing
How to make Anarchocapitalism happen:
1) We need these businesses that provide security, we don't really have a clean model (although private military contractors will likely get in on private business if they see money being made) so we need startups.
2) New industries cater to the rich first of all, so these services should start as luxury services which over time trickle down to the general public as efficiency improves.
3) By anarchocapitalism, we mean the fully private provision of security, not supplemental provision of security in states. Moreover, the crushing tax burden of existing states robs much of the funds that would be used to pay the security provider.
So:
We should create new businesses which provide security to the rich in anarchic or decrepit states. Haiti is a golden opportunity.
Over time, if this can be done profitably it can likely expand to poorer sectors of society and come to resemble the desired totally ancap society. If this delivers a higher level of security even than many established states (not a high bar) we should see defections and secessions. Also as existing states fail (see "sovereign" debt) the existence of successful international companies which provide security gives people an immediate alternative source of security which serves to prevent the formation of a new monopoly state.
I am puzzled by this symbol escaping modern progressive anti-Nazi inoculation
Progressives would probably tear down nordic runes like Confederate statues (or have done so long ago)
Perhaps the association with Mussolini (lacking emotional/religious punch) rather than Hitler (who is basically Satan) is the difference
The fasces is a symbol of authority - the bundle of sticks represents unity, and the axe authority
Yes, the fascists used this symbol, but not only the fascists
On the other hand, USA and EU are indeed fascist superstates, but not because they use this symbol
This treats a spectrum (wealth) as a binary (rich/not rich)
Can one bite of food make someone satiated? What if you have another bite, and another? At some point, you will have to admit that no one can be satiated unless a single bite can make him so.
Yeah I said I was pro-open borders conditional on eliminating the welfare state and various other things (and you replied to that comment)
I think East Asians are compatible with Anglo culture (as seen in Hong Kong and Singapore)
I think Hispanics are somewhat compatible
I think sub-saharan Africans would quickly either assimilate or commit crimes that result in their execution
In the sort of community I'm describing I think very few foreigners would come except to assimilate
UK & US in the 1800s had plenty of foreign immigration without sacrificing their essential Anglo culture
I don't see the moral argument, and I don't see a common-law legal argument
faraday bags
consider getting rid of cell phone entirely & use VOIP
get off / minimize centralized data & email
Open borders is disastrous in the context of democracy, welfare socialism, restrictions on armed self-defense and failure to enforce common law
But if there's no likelihood that immigrants can profit off public or private crime, I don't see the argument for keeping them out
