They aren't smart enough to be Sociopaths.
Sociopaths can be stupid, too. Stupid sociopaths peddle their poison on internet forums or in classrooms, rather than becoming the world leaders they really wish they could be. exactly. |

I agree with myrkul. Calling a taxed population "a free market" is a mistake. Saying that the outrageous accumulation of power and influence caused by favoritism in the laws is "the fault of the free market" is a mistake. These conclusions are not supported by observable reality and, as such, I do not accept them, nor should you.
As I've already mentioned, I'm not very interested in how things are called, but rather how things work. If you can provide a good explanation of how the system that you are defending would work, I would be willing to engage in a meaningful discussion. Frankly... in my observation, you don't seem very interested in understanding how things actually work. If you can't distinguish a free market and an unfree market - which appears to be the case here - then there is no way we can have a meaningful conversation about the topic. I am giving you my honest feedback here. I hope you accept it as such. |

Yes, most definitely bitcoin changed the way I think about many things and educated me about a whole lot of topics.
It might also turn me into some kind of a radical... but not quite yet.
"One thing that rather troubles me is that most people's standard for determining that some viewpoint, claim, etc., is "cooky," "insane," etc., is not by how far it departs from reality, but rather, how far a departure it is from the status quo. Even things which most people correctly dismiss as nuttery, are not dismissed for the right reasons; they are always dismissed only because it is a radical departure from the establishment line, not because it is a radical departure from reality. No wonder people who embrace a respect for persons, non-aggression, and therefore, oppose the existence of government on moral and practical grounds, are dismissed as nuts. The world is a place of primarily violent crackpots who accuse the reasonable of insanity, and yet people wonder why much of the world is such a horrible place." Exactly. |

People praising democidal mass murderers.
Sociopaths, everywhere.

From what I have read in quotations, cunticula is waging a lie/sophism based campaign to discredit Austrian economics (note not refute, but discredit).that tells you he is obviously dishonest and acting in bad faith. And offtopic too. Why don't we just ignore that troll and his off topic ramblings, and go back to discussing the original topic? Thanks.

My hypothesis is that the ignore button is largely used to give people justification for not responding to others, but users still often show posts of the people they ignore, just because they are curious what that person is saying.
I started ignoring some users recently, but than I realised - fuck it, I can handle any shit anyone throw at me, bring it on!  I don't really think it's a question of you being or not being able to "handle it", but more a question of why do you need to bother with sociopaths vomiting garbage around here? The ignore button is not a psychological defense -- it is a time saver. There is no such thing as worthless data. Everything and anything can trigger profound realisations. Ignoring someone means you think they will never ever change, but that is impossible. Everything and anything can change, at any moment. I have found plenty worthless contributions along with angry people unwilling to do anything other than insult me for sharing ideas that threaten their below systems, so I am gonna go ahead and disagree. |

Then again you can't deep packet inspect an encrypted packet.
Of course you can. DPI hardware has the capability to decrypt using phony certificates and then reencrypt. You wouldn't even notice it happening, unless you have a browser extension that flagged those phony certs. They have been doing this for YEARS already. |

Yes. It proves there are way too many naive anarchists in the world.
Yes. One naïve anarchist is too many. Bring him to me and I'll talk to him in order to help him be less naïve. :-) |

I never ignored anyone, no one has gotten to me like that yet.
Wow. Cumulatively, all the people in my ignore list probably make up at least 20% of the posts in this forum. I'd count how many there are, exactly, but I really don't have the bandwidth to load all that text -- probably at least 40 users. I use it as a time-saver, so I only rarely click "show" anymore. There have been whole pages of threads that were just "this user has been ignored." Same here. I lol when that happens -- it means I've saved myself at least 5 minutes. |

As I've stated elsewhere, I mostly use the ignore button as a visible "I am disappoint," a way of voting down users whose posts are offensive. As a bonus, I don't have to see their logorrhea unless I want to.
Seconded. I never read idiots who I've ignored, unless their idiocy spills into other people's comment quotes. |

How come just about anything that interests me or I stumble upon and is interesting, like videos in starting thread, is also of interest
to just few thousands others? I mean, I can't even recall when it was the last time I spotted something that has a value and was of
interest to majority. Is the situation really that bad? If it is, than it is majority those videos are pointing at, and that puts me and those
few thousands others in quite nasty situation. Well, it's not like I wasn't aware of it - I was refusing and still refuse to face it. I should
start looking at it more seriously, LOL!
Good question. While it is undeniable that we people who are against organized violence are in the minority, it's also true that given the overwhelmingly abundant amount of material across many, many interests, and the days having only so many hours, most stuff would only find a couple thousand interested people. And yes, we the minority are at a disadvantage, not only because we're the minority, but also because we -- unlike the majority -- cannot afford the luxury of using violence to get our way. |

From someone else's quote block: Nothing in AnCap precludes the accumulation of wealth, weapons, leverage through business, influence and followers.
HAHAHAHA! What epic mental retardation! Mental deficients who say this kind of idiocy, never actually bother proving such a thing actually can happen, or explain how. Their whole participation amounts to fearmongering. Logic = zero. Not to mention that their idea of a "solution" to the problem of accumulating wealth, weapons, leverage, influence and followers is ... wait for it ... setting up an accumulation of wealth, weapons, leverage, influence and followers, and then calling it "state". Wait, wasn't that supposed to be the very thing we're supposed to be terrified of? Then why do they bitch and insult us when we point out the flaws in the very thing they allegedly fear so much? It's as if some crazy person came to you and said "Hey, do you know that someone might just come and steal your shit? Now give me half of what you have -- or else I will put you in a cage -- so that I can protect you from thieves!" The very sentence "Hey, FirstAsshat, come here so I can protect you from rape by raping you" has about the same level of irrationality that FirstAsshat's comment had. Concentrated, potent, toxic imbecility. Sociopaths. Everywhere. |

This idiot should tell this to my great grandparents, who had the privilege of having armed men break into their house, line them against the wall, and execute them right in front of my 10 year old grandfather, then have all their property and house confiscated, just because they were Counts. Yah. It's sad that idiots like that rarely get the chance to face what they've been clamoring for (and then mutter "oh, god, what have I done"). If they did, Darwin's theories would have taken care of these idiots a loooong time ago. Of course there are other idiots who think that with a "softer, gentler communism" (sometimes they even name it "socialism", as if shit tasted different because one named it steak) the problem of having to threaten or use violence across the board would be solved. Behehehe. |

Yeah. Plus, what sort of agreement is enforceable between two anonymous people with no arbitrator to enforce it?

Well said, SgtSpike.
It's enlightening to know that current labor restrictions on teenagers and young people in general were actually legislated as political favors to unions and other forms of guild-mentality organizations interested in immunizing themselves from competition. Of course, these were sold to the public as "Decent wages" and "Protect the children", but the real intention was simply "fuck you, got mine".
It's funny how people who readily use politics to "fuck you got mine", accuse us voluntaryists of being the "fuck you got mine" people.

I'm quite calm and objective. My observations of paranoia are accurate. Feel free to attempt to dispute the truth of my observations. Use this quote for reference: When I think about the best way to describe what our modern day society looks like I imagine being surrounded by police who kick you to death while the crowd stands there watching.
Well, you're right in one aspect: They don't kick you to death... They shoot you. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/12/nyregion/police-fatally-shoot-man-brandishing-knife-in-times-square.htmlIt's quite funny to see sociopaths in this thread calling me "mentally unstable" when the events and actions I've pointed out can actually be observed in reality. I guess when the reality one tries to deny is undeniable, the only recourse of the dishonest / sociopathic individual is to attack people to try and discredit / defame them at all costs. Stef warned us about that in The Fascists That Surround You series. One can't cover the Sun with one's thumb, but that won't stop statists from trying like the idiots they are. You mean like the Kelly Thomas murder? The police who killed him are despicable pieces of shit, without a doubt. But I don't magnify events such as those into a fear that resembles the quote above. That's the difference. My point is that if you were standing there at the time you wouldnt have done anything about them murdering the guy. Of course not. Why would a sociopath try to stop armed murderers that he calls "protectors of society"? |
