It does sound that they are targeting the person for destruction, not punish him for his possible crimes. The question is who did he piss off and does he have to worry about someone sui:ciding him.

99% of mine are censored. At this point I think removal of comments is more to do with the financial cost of maintaining the servers to keep all these comments than politics.

@@barrylafleur8526 How can you be sure it's political? My comments are removed without providing any explanation. I'm guessing that they somehow violate their TOS, but that's just a guess unless they tell me so I know for sure. It also means that I'm just guessing on how to avoid them being removed.

@joshbeck1456 The while case is bullshit, they want to destroy the brother through legal lynching and white media lynching. What is sad alot black people have jealousy and animosity toward other black people that are more successful than then, some go off of emotion. Cointelpro is real and never stopped.

The most absurd thing is that they claim the 30 years of his business career was advanced by freakoffs - even though the timeline is for 15 years and he was already in the hundreds of millions by then.

Some good stuff in this one. It's important for a legal system to provide *justice,* which means appropriate levels of punishment for crimes committed. A person doesn't really lose his rights because he's committed a crime. The legal system ha to prove that he committed the crime, and then they have to punish him only for the crime with an appropriate punishment. Our current legal system seems to be about charging someone with all the crimes they think they can get through court, and seize all the assets they can, and very little do with providing justice. As for the reader question, again, good answers. I've used both principled and pragmatic at different times, because it really depends on addressing a person's most important concerns. But yes, I think a principled libertarian approach would lead to a better society. People often talk about whether or not the ends justify the means, but that's the wrong way to think about it. You have to choose an *appropriate* means to achieve your desired end. If you choose an inappropriate means, it becomes not just difficult, but impossible to achieve the desired end. I think libertarianism is an appropriate means for achieving a better society. I'm a bit disappointed by Peter's review of Wolfs. The trailers look pretty good. I'm sure I'll end up watching it eventually, though.

Whenever there is a government task force to stop something, it means they are doing exactly what they claim to be stopping. They are just going after their competition or burning bridges with former partners.

I'm not interested in human flourishing that is attained by coercing the innocent. It seems unethical and inefficient in maximizing societal utility, given such flourishing is countered by the utility reduction for those coerced, even if not proportional.

The Reason team was really vague and confusing in their answer to the Weekly listener question (29:49). I suggest they all think about it some more.

@TugHillGuy Ай бұрын

I think a good part of why so many Austro-libertarians identify as anarcho-capitalists is because they understand the economics involved and believe it can work apriori. They also have strong apriori confidence in lots of simpler libertarian policies based on economic theory. It's difficult to determine whether something will work as hoped without the use of such theories as tools. To simply try each policy out in the real world while observing from a duck blind is simply untenable.

In terms of how the federal government handled the war of 1812: No conscriptions/draft No suspension of habeas corpus Perhaps the most libertarian way to conduct war.

I think the “point” of the Listener Question is less about, “what if libertarianism is a total failure as a practical policy”, and more about whether libertarianism has to be “the best” or even “among the best” in every or most fields for you to support the principle. Every political system has its pluses and minuses, especially in comparison to other systems. Communism, for example, is probably going to be infinitely better at channeling the collective power of the nation towards a particular goal on a reasonable time scale than an anarchistic community. The question though is whether that capacity is worth more than the principles of that anarchistic community. For a more general policy question, guns. By allowing people to have guns, you increase the probability of people using guns to kill each other. And since guns are effective, that means (generally) you will increase the murder rate. Is that more important than either the utility of the guns themselves or the “freedom” that ensures you can own them? These kinds of questions are important to ask, especially for libertarians who often argue against government intervention as a matter of principle, even though that intervention could be helpful.

The problem with communism is it rapidly descends into something of a pyramid scheme. Remote country chateau's for party members and alot of "off budget" activities are one fingerprint.

I found this a bit creepy. The womans defensive posture left me queezy after thinking about all the shattered lives left by Sean Combs sordid lifestyle. It seems that the subject matter doesnt match the "trying to be cool " vibe if this style of reporting and Im thinking of Justin Beiber these past few days.

Why is Sean Combs bad for paying woman $5000 for weekend, but your neighbor can pay $5 on OnlyFans to lady with just a few watchers to have her have sex. Combs made women rich enough time quit, your neighbor is keeping women struggling. Yes, same crime, sex for money and degrading acts.
