this is super spammable. You could use it with vegans, bicycleists, standing desk proponents, free software enthusiasts, apple fanboys, anything. Its the ultimate meme!

Dear libertarian: if taxes are theft, what do you think of surplus value?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

What if I don‘t believe in the existence of libertarians?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago (2 children)

But now you're stuck in the woods with a libertarian. You're worse off than before.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

By speaking aloud in the woods I have mixed my labor with the land, and am therefore entitled to claim ownership. The libertarian is obliged to respect my private property and vacate the area before they violate the NAP by trespassing. By claiming the woods, I'm also no longer lost: I'm home.

Only if you rule out cannibalism.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Don't eat libertarians. They're full of parasites and taste horrible

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Nuh uh. Parasites violate the NAP and therefore do not exist in Libertarian society.

no one is saying not to vote.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

lol…. You’re new here, aren’t you?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

no. but it would be quite easy to disprove me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

ROFL… it’s easy to prove. Find a post about something either good or bad that Biden has done. More than likely, you’ll find one of these trolls whining about gEnOciDe jOe and spreading misinformation. I’m not naming names, but there are quite a few very well known trolls that frequent political communities.

Don’t bother looking in posts about Trump though. For some reason, lemmy “socialists” only seem to hate Biden. My theory’s is that they know no one here is voting for that piece of shit, so there’s no point in trying to convince anyone to, but they can help by convincing liberals/democrats to not vote to “send a message” thereby helping trump win 2024.

If the point is missed, yes- I’m accusing most of these “socialists” of being right-wing propaganda trolls.

if it were that easy, you could link it

It’s not my job or hobby to lead you to things. Do your own work.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

a claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. i don't believe and no one should unless you can support your own claim.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (4 children)

The people here that matter, are aware of it- the people that deny it, are those trying to either hide it out of embarrassment, or they support it.

Either way, I don’t owe you anything. The internet rule of “either prove it or you’re wrong” doesn’t work in reality. A thing can be true without your entitlement of proof.

Either find it yourself, or walk away.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

A thing can be true without your entitlement of proof.

yea, but there is no reason to believe it without evidence, and i'm not responsible for supporting your claim: you are.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Either find it yourself, or walk away.

don't tell me what to do.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

“either prove it or you’re wrong”

no one said that. it's a strawman

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Walk away.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Walk away.

do you need help finding the block button? i promise it's nowhere near your evidence.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (6 children)

So that’s your bit? You troll people until you make them block you? You can’t leave someone alone when they ask you to? You seriously lack the self-control it takes to just stop talking my to someone that doesn’t respect you?

That’s pretty sad, but fine. I’ll do the work for you on this one and just block you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I’ll do the work for you on this one and just block you.

thank god

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I’ll do the work for you on this one and just block you.

that's not doing the work. doing the work would be supporting your claim.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

You seriously lack the self-control it takes to just stop talking my to someone that doesn’t respect you?

if you don't respect me, why should you expect any respect in return?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

You can’t leave someone alone when they ask you to?

if you don't like who responds, you have privacy settings. if you can't support your position, your position doesn't suddenly gain support by telling people you don't want to talk about it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

You troll people until you make them block you

i can't make you block me, but i can tell you if you don't like who responds to you on a public forum, you have privacy tools.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

You troll people until you make them block you

asking people to support their position isn't trolling.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Either way, I don’t owe you anything.

nope, but i think you owe it to yourself to engage with some intellectual honesty, providing evidence for your claims.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Walk away.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Walk away.

don't tell me what to do

What would make a transcendentalist appear and convince you to just stay lost?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

go to a hot dog stand and order one with everything

[–] [email protected] 32 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Backup plan. Take a length of fibre cable with you. When you get lost burry the cable and sone fuckwit with a backhoe will dig it up and you can follow them to society.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

As an electrician, this is true.
