Sick of comment censorship? Today Gab released an extension that allows you to comment on any link on the internet by reubadoob in GoldandBlack

I've had a similar idea like this but with a different application,

but the big challeng might be cultivating communities that read such comments

Real leaders aren't chosen by elections by NimbleCentipod in Anarcho_Capitalism

ceos are elected by boards sometimes so in ancapistan there could be private elections like that that still choose leaders :)

Neo-Nazi group's new leader is a black man who vows to dissolve it by HTownian25 in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]seabreezeintheclouds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heimbach I think is done with politics, dunno if he is trying to ever bounce back after the Trad group fallout thing happened

the group might be dissolved but the ideas will linger unless directed from natsoc to natcap probably. And only some parts of the nat part might be worth rearranging, I don't know what natsocs think is essential to the "nat" part of their natsoc

Canadian comedian forced to pay audience member 15k for giving her 'ptsd'. by Harry_finger in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]seabreezeintheclouds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i saw another (MAPLE-LEAF?) story in canada about a male comedian licking and nibbling on a male reporter's ear that the guy was pressing charges about, which seemed like a grayer case, and I wanted to maybe make a thread on the general topic of a lot of NAP violations I've seen tolerated throughout life like aunts pinching cheeks, or adolescent males kneeing each other in the groin without being provoked, etc. If i was in that reporters shoes I don't think I could or would press charges, even if it was a gay attack or something, it just seemed like a prank gone too far, I don't think the guy meant it to be as offensive as it was, but of course he might have been wiser given the oversensitive climate we live in and that he was doing this to a total stranger. Needless to say I feel I have witnessed many worse extremes and found such a prank as quite tame in comparison, although technically illegal perhaps - perhaps rather than press charges, some other kind of resolution of the conflict could have been pursued, like, uh, maybe just ask an apology and leverage the incident for publicity or something?

well, with hierarchy, I've gone back and forth on this. I thought it was kind of unnatural a while back, but lately it just seems more like common sense. If you get a team together, a lot of times if there is trust, someone might be stronger and I wouldn't have a problem with them being in charge, or me being in charge if I'm the strongest. It just seems to work out easier and better. I think people (somewhat rightly) can get scared off from hierarchy when people above them don't do a good job with their position. I mean, with a lot of sports, they seem hierarchically organized, and that seems to be a very voluntary activity within our society. I personally have chosen a lot of non-hierarchical physical activities (like if I like running, I just go running and compete against myself, I don't need to run in a marathon race against others) so I see both sides of this. But yeah I think if there was no centralized government, you're still going to see a lot of hierarchically organized groups.

I believe a technologically modern society could in theory exist without political hierarchy, but don't think this would be done in practice because hierachies seem more efficient, trading perhaps some autonomy in work for autonomy in leisure?

Well I guess I believe the world is naturally and supernaturally patriarchical, like I believe God exists and God is a Patriarch. And then that authorities in the world are men and patriarchs in cooperation with God's authority. And if there is a competition generally without the use of force, men come out on top as being stronger and smarter naturally just by biological and social design. Although there are domains like the home which women have their talents for. I suppose it's hard to discuss even, as there isn't really a competition between women and men to begin with, the competition is only artificially initiated when these domains are mixed up.

to keep the concept going maybe making people aware of the estimated costs of gov't in transactions and estimates on alternative arrangements might keep people thinking of what they're paying for

[–]seabreezeintheclouds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agreed self ownership can't be proven, it's an axiomatic claim, and to me not even really necessary for ancapism (well, you could have exclusive use of your body without owning it, but this might be similar to selfownership in practice), though I would argue for relative self-ownership based on positive effects produced (consequentialist)

argumentation ethics I would only put a little stock in, I appreciate and agree with refutations of it

property doesn't seem like as much of a contention except for original appropriation of like land

"tolerance of alternative norms" - this made me bounce towards statism because if people are free, aren't they free to become statists? So yeah freedom is kind of "fascist" in that sense, or really any political view (socialism and communism impose their worldview on others). So it becomes kind of like what is the objective position to take (and therefore authority seemed necessary and traditional and so it seemed some kind of authority position seemed like it was probably the objective one, however I argue in ancapism there can still be the protection of authority on private property and authoritative designation of authoritiative groups in a decentralized way). this idea probably applies to a lot of your categories here

going to skip around as there is a lot

natural monopolies could exist and be state-like

"race realism" isn't really exclusively related to ancap, whether there are racial differences or not, the basic thing is though that people may end up discriminating racially and that is allowed by basic neutral libertarianism - in practice there is an incentive for people to economically cooperate anyway, beyond that we would probably see ethnic segregations to varying degrees because distinct ethnicities can't exist without separately marrying only within that ethnicity and thus forming a semi-separate culture kind of

I think the world is naturally patriarchical, so not sure what those posts are getting at. Either has been ruled by male monarchs and leaders, or in ancapism males would rise to the top in competition. not strictly related to "netural" ancapism

there would still be landlords in ancapism but competition would make prices much cheaper is the hope through competitions

with free market competition, there's probably just always war. There is war when we have states, there will be war if there is ancapism, there's just a hope of improving war with ancapism by providing more incentives to not go to war or to be able to protect one's self and community etc. (likewise with many problems that could be found with ancapism the hope is simply that this improves things not that it would be 100%)

free rider could be a problem, though with centralized govt you have the problem of diminshed incentives due to lack of competition (if there is one road building company by the govt and no competition mechanism then there is lack of innovation for instance)

tragedy of the commons might not always happen, that is conceded, just like just if the market incentive exists to fix something, doesn't mean it will be acted on. But to the contrary just because there are people that get together and want to have universal health care provided by a centralized gov't, doesn't mean it'll deliver either. Motivation is a tricky interesting thing

rectifying current property titles

not unique to ancapism, under a state property claims could be rectified from history

hierarchy seems to come about naturally, even in ancapism there can be decentralized organizations but with leaders. Flat organizations can try to compete with hierarchical ones and through experience accept hierarchical arrangements if they're found to be more beneficial (or do a thought experiment to confirm)

the post was long sorry for skipping along

What are the best arguments against the wage slavery argument? by TheMaybeMualist in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]seabreezeintheclouds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I concede part of it, working is "slaving away" or can be as the colloquial expression has is, but the "slavery" really is just to nature: nature forces people to survive or perish to some extent. Therefore, if you walk commies through how there is natural scarcity and people end up arranging themselves voluntarily in response to this in relatively capitalistic ways, then it seems to make more sense. Instead they view the world as naturally abundant and as people artificially restricting that abundance and forcing them to work (when understanding this perspective it makes sense why they feel conflicted a little nayway

The commie argument: reality is slavery by [deleted] in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]seabreezeintheclouds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just walk them through how nature exerts the "oppression" of survival, and how people as a response to that naturally choose relatively capitalist arrangements to maximize productivity - they are seeing it as nature is naturally abundant and people artificially create scarcity through their choices and then that they are "forcing" them to work rather than use that abundance

Question for paleolibertarians by [deleted] in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]seabreezeintheclouds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Homosexuals aren't allowed on a paleo's private property if they wish, it's freedom of association. Not sure if the other guy answered your question, otherwise ask a followup if you want.

hoppe supports freedom for communities to set rules they voluntarily agree to, and then for instance if homosexuals were banned from certain private properties, then a gay person going on to those properties would be trespassing and would have to be "physically removed" from the property (evicted, I mean they would be escorted off the property by security or a private policeman, not have their life be ended).
