And yes, I'm a libertarian, because I can do the math and recognize a failing Ponzi scheme when I see it.
Out of curiosity, who are you addressing here?Quote:

Admittedly, that's mostly because the average person cannot succeed if they are only rewarded based on their actual importance because 95% of people have absolutely zero initiative. Being something like an economic utilitarian myself, I know that you have to make ethical and intellectual concessions when making policy that affects the public because most people are just plain Squibbish. I could live by a lot of the tenants of libertarianism in my individual life, but we would destroy ourselves if we forced all of society to conform.
Don't worry about Squibb. I have thoroughly destroyed every argument he has ever made. We only let him speak for the lulz anymore.Quote:

You of course. But if we're gonna start talking about this; I'd like you to clearly define the boundaries of what libertarianism is for you. Why? Because social sciences are unfortunately not like natural sciences where words have a strict meaning attached to them. I swear, if you just go in a class of political thinkers and ask ''what's nationalism?'' everyone is gonna go ape shit and come up with their own definition.Quote:

I'm honestly not sure how adequate funding for basic social services like Universal Health Care would be detrimental to the USA, TF. That's all "socialism" is, its not Communism and I know you know that.
And that is why it is so easy for me to make money off of the stock market. If the average person were smarter, I might actually have to think instead of suppress biases.
I solute you, idiots of the world. Thank you.
