Fucking classic that would never be put on TV today. :)

Three articles from Dale Everett a few years ago that really stick it to that BleedingHeartLibertarian shitstain:
http://anarchyinyourhead.com/2009/02/02/the-slave-test/
http://anarchyinyourhead.com/2009/02/03/imprisoned-over-a-hat/
http://anarchyinyourhead.com/2009/02/09/who-will-build-the-slave-roads/

Read them in all in order.  But if you want a truncated version, this bit from the last one says it all:

"It begins to seem complicated indeed to determine how much of our productivity is being siphoned off by our masters, but I said you wouldn't need your calculator to determine what percent a slave you are. So let's put this in perspective. If you were a slave in Egypt building the pyramids or one violently kidnapped from Africa in the early years of the U.S., were you 100% a slave based on the above method? Obviously your masters would have to allow you the means of survival and in most cases they probably allowed you something to keep your morale up and keep you more productive. You would have had slave quarters and rations and time to sleep, and perhaps even some time off for a bit of recreation under strict guidance by your masters depending on how humane your masters were. So would you be considered partially free because your masters chose to allow you some time for your own needs and to reap a small bit of benefit from your productivity?

What makes you a slave is that you are under the complete control of your masters. If you have any choices at all, it's only because your masters graciously allow you some small measure of choice, and they could choose not to allow those same choices the very next day. Your masters own you completely and they alone choose what of your productivity you get to keep from one moment to the next. So put away the calculator. Until no one else has first dibs on your productivity, and until you are supporting yourself and making your own decisions about your own life, you are 100% a slave."

I think we have a winner.  Karen's answer to the "good" feminists.  Similar reasoning can be applied to Christians and Muslims (and religious people in general) too. At least insofar as the bit she speaks of in that the "nice" feminists tend to be bolstering the insane feminists.  And indeed has been applied to at least Muslims by Christopher Hitchens, IIRC.
But more importantly, the last part can also be applied to statists too, specifically:
"But if you fly the flag of hatred and violence, don't expect me to pat you on the head and say, 'That's okay, I know you're one of the nice ones.' Fuck you. Grow up and stop pretending there's no problem using the same flag as those who advocate eugenics and mass murder! Grow up!"

I could post certain videos, but honestly, near as I can tell, her whole channel belongs in this thread.
Her videos are long, but worth the watch.

"To say, 'Either obey my rules, or get out of MY house' is one thing. To say, 'Obey my rules, or get out of YOUR house,' which is what that statist argument amounts to, implies that the politicians are the rightful owners of everything. They aren't. Their argument is akin to saying, 'If you don't like robbery, then don't live anywhere that robbery occurs!' It's juvenile and idiotic." -- Larken Rose in the comments of this video

Yet another nail in an argument whose coffin is now more steel than wood!

Epic win.  Now apply the logic given by Matt and AronRa to the state and you have such epic win that it NEEDS to be in this thread. :D

"Default, the money was borrowed on collateral that wasn't theirs to borrow on in the first place (the future productivity of children and the unborn).
China and other debtors will whine? Cry me a river. Maybe they'll learn not to lend to proven deadbeats in the future."--Lord T Hawkeye
