  • It’s called soft power. Basically an investment in presenting the best part of your culture to others hoping that it will attract people to your ideals and idea of society to ease collaboration with other peoples.

    But you do understand the reasoning behind such an investment with your superior intellect, I’m sure.

    And I’m also sure that you do understand that where an investment is missing others will provide that investment. Promoting their culture in lieu of others.

    I’m putting /s explicitly because I’m not sure you’d get my sarcasm, I don’t think you could understand these subtle reasonings



  • “the left” has no default response to any costs saving.

    “Noooooooo” as a reply comes only when a destruction of the modern state is acted masking it as “cost saving”.

    It’s like a doctor prescribing suicide to solve a patient illness. It works, the illness is gone, but the patient is not feeling well afterwards.

    But this is too much of a complex reasoning for a libertarian to understand, I get that. Oh well, back to you play-doh eating contest you go



  • He tells these concepts so much better and bring such clear examples to the table that you’re still unable to present your points in clear and readable manner.

    Please tell me how the economy works and how the “invisible hand of the free market” can improve the quality of goods and services for people in a market where the most important goal if any company is to extract the maximum profit from its customers.

    Let’s remember that even Harvard business review has finally accepted that the concept of the invisible hand is laughable (read here for reference), we just needed 3 major financial crashes (IT at the end of the 90s, housing market at the end of the 2000s and the economic crash of 2019) to experience this first hand.

    Please, remind me where the money which were used to save big businesses and big banks came from? Do I hear you say “the state”? Oh well, we would be better off without it at this point, right?



  • Wrong facts but facts nevertheless.

    Please tell me how the absence of laws and agencies mandated to overview the adherence to said laws by big industrial realities could improve the quality of live for common citizens who are already power-deprived in front of big corporations thanks to the lack in founding of state agencies in return for the campaign contributions all parties rack in from their wealthy donors with each election cycle

    Pro-difficulty: use your words instead of linking to a badly argued YouTube video

    Protip: you can’t


  • Yeah buddy, sure. I’m certain without rules and laws all companies would act in the best interests of the consumers, not selling dangerous or poisonous goods at all!! And they would never think about creating cartels to fix the prices of their products. This could never happen!!

    God, you’re thick as a brick but less useful. Basically a rock with the capacity to write dumb things on the internet


  • Oh yes, cut spending by eliminating agencies needed by the people to have a decent life in a developed society and present the resulting savings as a victory.

    It’s like a company manager firing most of its employees and selling it’s machines presenting the administrative books at the next shareholders meeting. Much profits, wow! And then the year after the company goes bankrupt and foreclose, who can say why this has happened??? Must have been the invisible hand free market!!! Fs fs, on god



  • Maybe, and I say maybe, before starting to dismantle core-agencies needed for the maintenance and management of a state, one should look into the meddling between private and public interests. Like, how muvh of our money is being used to sustain dead-end projects such as Ai development or fossil fuel? Do we want to also look into the military spending and the paths grants provided to this end follow?

    If Argentina has taught us anything is that leaving citizens without services makes the lives of those same citizens even worse. The results of no hospital, schools, or state management agencies will be shown in some years, can’t wait to see libertarians trying to spin that situation in a positive way
