Why is it okay to use threat of force to evict poor people from their homes, but not okay to use threat of force to make wealthy people pay taxes?
(mods please don’t banish me to the hall of questions)
what libertarians think it’s okay to use force against a person for inhabiting a building they own?
i’m intentionally leaving ownership out of it, it is a moral question.
i’m sure many libertarians see ownership itself as a moral issue, so you’re not going to get anywhere with that approach.
i know, i’m trying to get them to justify the position that ownership is necessarily a moral issue.
why didn’t you just ask that then?
because i thought it might be a less abstract this way, rather than just talking about “the nature of ownership” or something like that
Much of libertarianism is a soapscreen for white supremacy.
HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
and i suppose you expect me to say, in my finest hick accent, “all dem librals is just negger-lovers”
This is a bizarre and totally stupid and empty reply. Instead, why don’t you tell me how libertarianism isn’t a soapscreen for white supremacy. Answers on more than a postcard, please, with some thought and intelligence, would be appreciated.
no, i’m not going to take your bullshit seriously. it doesn’t deserve a serious response. give an intelligent criticism and i’ll give you an intelligent rebuttal.
OK. I will take it then that you have no intelligent reply to my observation that many libertarians are associated with white supremacy. In fact, the whole notion of less government stems from that old states’ rights movement in the South designed to keep minorities in their place. I know you won’t answer decently or intelligently because you can’t, you aren’t capable of it. That’s because you know I’m right.
You can’t really just go around and tell people that they’re wrong because they’re racist. That’s not an argument. That’s fucking stupid.
let’s all be friends and try to keep an elevated level of discourse - you know like the ILP happy-smiley land we’ve each come to know and love . . .
Racists participate in a variety of movements. I don’t see why libertarians should be singled out as overwhelmingly racist. Do you have some statistics showing that to be the case?
any old Libertarian will do, or even someone prepared to answer on behalf of Libertarians
