"When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world—'No. You move.'"
-Captain America, Amazing Spider-Man 537

On DA I correct people on the definition of the etymology of the word Libertarian and they simply just reassert their claim of 'true libertarianism' being anarcho-communism (again) and then citing Wikipedia (really guy?  really?).  As I said to them, No, sorry, I cited an authoritative source on the original definition.  It did NOT mean anarcho communist first...well, unless the online etymology dictionary is a part of some capitalist conspiracy, right?  So yeah, another "socialism is what libertarianism meant FIRST before you mean 'ol right wingers stole it from us!" Which, in addition to not being fucking true as shown by this: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0&search=libertarian
Would be an appeal to etymology even IF it was so ('Universe'-Kent Hovind, anyone?)

Here's the rub of it:

If you define communism as actually practiced, "anarcho-communism" is a self-contradictory statement. If you define it as the ideal Marx and Engals described, it is a redundancy. Since governments have never been known to voluntarily dissolve themselves, the second one is purely academic.

Check this gem out.

"Unlike real-world currencies, Bitcoin isn't regulated by a central bank or government."

Yeah, cause that's totally a guarantee of currency stability!

I called this clown out on that in the comments and got -18 rating for it.  sore much?
I recently heard that the word heretic is derived from the greek work heriticos which means "able to choose"
The more you know...

All or at least most of these have been refuted by Shane on the podcast at some point.
#4:  Shane refuted this one a few weeks ago.  It's the same with regular cash.  If you lose the wallet, you lose the money.  Again, fiat money doesn't have the advantage here.  Especially for folks like me who are MUCH better at keeping track of digital files over tangible objects. >.>
#3:  And only one person--The Federal Reserve Chairman--could murder the entire dollar currency overnight via hyperinflation.  Shane did this one better justice, however.  It's NOT as a bad as the OP is saying.
#2:  As you do on regular dollars.  Again, so?
#1:  Wait...what?  Then tell the fucktards to STOP trying to make it out as a black market currency! Sheesh!  Make up your damn minds, Bitcoin haters.

Every single comment left by that Valendale fucktard.  Christ, I've never seen that level of denial before.  The ONLY source he's said beyond simply asserting, is Wikipedia in another comment thread (oh, yeah, that's TOTALLY better than the etymology dictionary).  Dick.

And his comments on this.  Holy shit, this guy's a conspiratarded dumbass.  He even blew off the dictionary definition and called Wikipedia "better than your source."
Right, because apparently the online etymology dictionary definition is not an authoritative source, but is a right wing, koch brothers conspiracy...*rolls eyes*

it's a joke: the PSA isn't a real one: the Aussies have this sub-theme of "gallows humor" based off of PSA's (since real ones are even more retarded).

Wow...citing the Card/Krueger study AGAIN, with no mention of the Neumark/Wascher study that debunked it. They cling to it like the anti-vaccers cling to Wakefield or the gun control nuts Kellerman.

I don't need to watch the video after seeing that citation.

"A 2000 paper has reconciled the difference between Card and Krueger's survey data and Neumark and Wascher's payroll-based data. The paper shows that both datasets evidence conditional employment effects that are positive for small restaurants, but are negative for large fast-food restaurants."
That's a comment I received when I mentioned that study.
