@monarchist @freepatriot is one about the problems of libertarianism (of which there are a few) when it "collides" with the real world.

@monarchist @freepatriot Could you elaborate?

Meaning for me, and goals, are subjective things, and hence something I invent and impose on myself.

What do you mean when you say that it cannot be done? I have done it myself, and am doing it constantly, so I think I misunderstand you here.

Let's also put aside the dystopic situation where goals are imposed on others through marketing and psyops. That can happen, but of course goes against the spirit of libertarianism, but that discussion,

@monarchist @freepatriot Ah.. is this your show?

As for the tragedy of the commons, the easy cure is to eliminate the commons, and the tragedy is eliminated as well.

There are many cases where private management of nature and resources, is vastly more effective at conserving nature or the resource, than public mgmt.

But yes... I do agree culture is important! So are common goals, or win/win situations _if_ you want to cooperate with others.

@monarchist @freepatriot Exactly!! And if you need to save at the beginning of your career, work as much as you like! And if, towards the end of your career, you want to take it easy, ramp down. You decide! And depending on your choice, you get paid more or less.

Jobs at large corporations or organizations kill the soul. They deprive man of meaning reducing him to a cogwheel, someone anonymous in a big machine.

There he is trapped and works until he is

The elites have turned everyone into criminals, liars, hypocrites, and cowards.

The only good thing about living in a police state is that no one can take the moral high ground on anything.

Americans scream that the USA is a free and peaceful country with a balanced budget and then turn around and say that they never said that.

If Americans want to be Communists now because Americans want free healthcare then why didn't Americans want to be Communists in 1980?

Stark law didn't exist. 🤷‍♂️

ANYTHING GOES as the World goes Full Nero.

@freepatriot

Because the poor don't have healthcare

Freedom is not an illusion.

Gun bans are real. Checkpoints are real. NSA wiretapping is real.

Tyranny didn't work out too well for the USSR, Nazi Germany, and Cambodia so why are Americans embracing it?
