Communism.

Communism.

You just made my day with this post.

Also, No! Don't close/lock this thread! It cannot die!

Filies and gentlecoats, I present to you the dumbest SJW post on Tumblr:



"Drinking milk is white privilege"? With stupidity like that, who needs satire? Reality is stranger than fiction!

Am I the only one bothered by the obvious race-purity behind this? That mutations are bad and we need to keep our genetics pure?

Our ancestors did LOTS of mutating: lactose tolerance, CCR5-Δ32, extended color vision, HbC...and it's all while they were doing this little thing called "evolving!"

With just a little prodding, these guys could become racial cleansers if they're not already!

I know right?  Not to mention the whole "Unnatural" argument reeks of a fundamentalist Christian saying, "HOMOSEXUALITY IS UNNATURAL!"

So not quite as horrifyingly stupid and disgusting (I think?) as the milk = white privilege from the SJW fucktards above, but still kind of annoying to see this from someone on Disqus:

Some background, he's referring to this article:  http://money.cnn.com/2013/09/20/news/economy/obamacare-penalty/
"God, what a stupid article.

'Though subsidies are available to those earning less than 400% of the poverty level, the premiums are still too high for many Americans.'

And those people earning more than 400% of the poverty level are getting medical insurance through their EMPLOYER, making "Obamacare" moot."--Thomas K Dye, http://disqus.com/ThomasKDye/

EDIT:  So after spending some time trying to find the thread with Tom's comment, it seems the other comments on that article are even worse.

He's also only making an assertion about another dubious assertion. Science has yet to understand the phsyics of the earth's volatile electro-magnetic field that impacts all atmosphere, climate & weather, let alone, having a clue as to how to manipulate it. Tommy is probably the spittin' image of Shane's devil's advocate in the vid."--BrotherWoody1 talking to eagleeye1975, about Tommy.

Let's see:  bullshit as global warming has been proven, just not the alarmist crap as I've pointed out above, appeal to complication and non-sequitor, and even baseless character assassination of a person who IS a libertarian and, last I checked, a full on anarcho-capitalist!

...and no one would ever dare get pregnant.

No, seriously.

Also, you don't know what corporatism is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatism

What you're referring to as "corporatism" is corporatocracy:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatocracy

Neither of which is a separate system from Capitalism. Corporatism is a justification for division of labor. Corporatocracy is the natural result of the centralization of wealth in a market economy.

"Though I will say, there are always technicalities to every rule. for example, they have proven that if you are eating like an anorexic pidgeon then your body will go into 'hibernation mode', where it will attempt to store all the possible fat and energy it can, and using as little as it can in every day use. Hence why you should always eat as close to possible the recommended dietary intake for your energy needs, otherwise you wont loose anything. Ive been told this from several professional sources [doctors, chiropractors, dietary professionals, etc] so its not a defiance of physics but a fact of science."--Aldark here:  http://travis-retriever.deviantart.com/journal/Lost-23-pounds-side-effects-and-future-goals-437451121#comments

My response:  "'[T]here are always technicalities to every rule.'  Including that rule? And nope, sorry, it really is that simple.  The only reasons that might be the case at all would be:  1) You might become a tad less energetic and therefore move around less, thus burning overall fewer Calories.  2) Food has a thermic effect (especially protein) so when you are, say, fasting, you won't burn as many Calories because it takes energy (Calories) to digest/transport/store the nutrients in food.  Appeal to authority is not an argument.  The Calorie burning calculators I've seen pretty much just use your weight, height, sex, age and activity level to determine the amount of Calories you burn a day, because absent evidence otherwise, it's all that's all that's relevant.  As I said, your body cannot violate the laws of physics just to spite you.

Would it kill him to link me to a controlled, long term, and well designed study that supposedly "proves" this?  Like I always say folks, your body cannot violate the laws of physics just to spite you.  Stop making excuses and learn to eat less and exercise more; and stop enabling those who don't with this kind of bullshit, damnit!

Really OP?  Wikipedia?

What makes it even better is that when I pointout that Wkipedia recognizes anarcho-captialism as a formo f anarchism he brushes it off by saying "Wikipedia isn't always accurate"


but it gets better. he asks me what I would do were I a capitalist and I could make a significent ammount of money with minimal risk by using violence against somebody. I told himI wouldn't for ethical and practical reasons andhe comes back with This bullshit.


No, It's a Trick Question.

It doesn't matter what you do. It doesn't matter what you choose. It doesn't matter that you personally won't use violence.

Why? because society is more than just you. If there's a chance to make more profit and you don't take it someone else will, and as under capitalism profit translates into social and political power, those who do well in a capitalist marketplace will naturally draw power, both legitimate and illegitimate to themselves.

If you don't then USE that power to make sure that your business succeeds where all others fail (whether it deserves to or not) you will be out-competed and replaced by another, less-scrupulous capitalist who WILL.

It's like natural selection, if instead of "survival of the sexiest" the criteria was set for "Biggest, cleverest, most amoral douchebag."

And there's nothing you can do to stop it or change it.

That's the reality of a free market. That's Capitalism, and more, that's how the Nation-State develops - and to a certain extent that is how every State in history has developed. It's one of the cliche's of economics. There is NO reason to think that anarcho-capitalism will be any different.

It's like we've all been playing a board game so long that the winners are already decided. AnCaps are arguing we rest the game and play a new game because they're hoping that THIS time they'll be the winners.

Except no, you won't because largely, AnCaps are really bad at capitalism - specifically because you guys romanticize and fetishize it too much and that keeps you from having an accurate view of the best way to play.

The answer is not to reshuffle the cards and set everyone back to square one - the answer is to break the board and leave the room because that game sucks and we should all quit playing it and do something else instead.

any takers. I really don'tf eellike respondingto this wall of text.

It would help if you posted a link so we could find the conversation.   If it's on Facebook, I'm not there and won't be able to help.
