Oh, I am. I meant to say that not all those who accept the NAP are anarchists.

Income tax unconstitutional?

Then let's back up for a second. This was our dialogue: Your response: The purpose behind my willingness to give up time and resources for money is irrelevant to our conversation if we do not agree on a definition of value. So I ask you again: what is your definition of value? -
We aren't all anarchists. We follow the NAP to its logical conclusions. You can be Alt Right and NAP compliant. More on that below:

Perhaps, but I don't think that audience came in as Alt Righters either. We all came here to apply philosophical thinking, the scientific method and Socratic reasoning. In my case, all it took was Stefan's video with Jared Taylor... and I got sucked into the black hole of race realism. As for racial identity, I don't think Stefan has ever spoken of this to any significant extent. It is the philosophical methods I've learned here that led me to identitarian, i.e. Alt Right conclusions. The irony is that, I think Stefan has been a far better "Alt Right evangelist" than anyone who actually is in the Alt Right.

It is used as a medium of exchange, & unit of account, therefore it is - by definition - not useless. I am willing to give up time and real resources for currency to exchange it with other people's time and real resources. _________________________________ Regardless, it seems like we agree on the definition of value, which is great. Let's follow your premises to their logical conclusions: Premise a) Money has value because it is taxed 1. Therefore, increasing taxes increases the value of money 2. Therefore, as taxes approach 100%, the value of money approaches infinity Premise b) The value of money is simply whatever you are willing to give up for it 1. As taxes approach 100%, the less money you get 2. Therefore, as taxes increase, the less willing you are to give up for it, therefore less value 3. Therefore, as taxes approach 100%, the value of money approaches 0 The conclusions of premise a) and b) are the exact opposite of each other. Therefore, both cannot be true. And with that, I ask you: are you willing to give up your premise a) or your premise b) ? -

I would think so. 350B is measured as the M1 definition of money. It doesn't include all the credit created from it. -

Do we disagree on the definition of value? By value I'm using the economics sense of the word, i.e. whatever you are willing to give up to get something. Is this the same definition you're working with? -

Did you mis-word this? It sounds like you're saying that without taxes, money has no value... -

I think he means that the payment is fiscally meaningless at this point. It's like ordering a triple big mac combo (gov spending) but with a diet soda (interest payment)... Well yes but you also have to consider how much money the pump in and how much resource scarcity taxes create. 3 QEs, 15 years of negative interest, 100 years of artificially low reserve requirements, the myriad of taxes and regulations, generous government services... -
As it stands, the bill is very vaguely worded... it says the framework is intended to raise the standard of living of kids in the context of government services like healthcare, homeless assistance, education, foster care, etc. It also says that Cali would serve as an example to other states (again, government context). It sounds to me like the kids the bill refers to are those who are already under state control.

Wait you don't know the difference, and yet you make a post mocking Richard Spencer's stance on it? I'd hate to assume your motive, but it looks like you're more concerned with smearing the Alt Right... Is that the case?
-
I'm sorry, typo. What I meant to say: "To be exact, he said that he believes the free market would allocate resources most effectively, but that since that is NOT feasible POLITICALLY, socialist healthcare is the next best thing compared to Obamacare." In other words: Free Market Medicine > Socialist Medicine > Obamacare
-
I'm laughing even harder. You took this completely out of context. To be exact, he said that he believes the free market would allocate resources most effectively, but that since that is feasible, compared to Obamacare socialist healthcare is the next best thing. Source:

I agree with the other comments. I definitely think therapy is the way to go... But I have a hunch: The absurdity of your environment is the cause of your dysfunction. Let me explain. Therapy may help you find solutions to your own problems, but it's up to you to walk the path, either way. Masculinity (strength and wisdom) is discouraged (sometimes illegal) in Sweden. A masculine man would instantly mock and ridicule innocent ideal dreams, e.g. "What are you, a girl?". Men naturally treat each other in this way, it's a form of riffing. Is it possible that masculine influence is lacking in your life? If this is the case, it is not your fault. Imo, it is intentional white displacement / white genocide (see video below). But you can do something about it. Aaron Clarey has done many videos about un-f-ing up your life (financially, career-wise, and enjoying the decline). He does video requests and you can send a video request his way.

Thank you for empathizing. As for what else could be done, keep in mind that the parent is likely to become violent with you (which was the case with my dad). Actually, my dad would regularly take out completely unrelated frustrations out on me physically. So I think it is best not to create any agitation. What I would do is simply report the situation to the police. Either that, or take a few years to learn MMA well and actually approach the parent. If they get physical with you, give'em hell and still call the cops and report the incident.

You have no idea how bad I wish someone would have done this for me when I was a child. My childhood was basically the USSR minus the killings. Everything was monitored to the pixel. By default, nothing was allowed unless I asked. I had to be willing to drop everything "for the family" no matter what the cost to me. I could only visit websites they approved. I wasn't allowed to question anything. I also had to learn skills I had no interest in (lots of musical instruments and sports). And if I said no, or failed to perform at their level... oh boy... those beatings.... I tried telling some adults about my parents, but they told me "It's ok, they're your parents. They know what's best!" My dad grabbed and twisted my ears publicly once, other adults intervened. Someone filed a report with child services. I was too scared of what would happen to me if I told them the truth. My parents denied everything. Nothing happened in the end. And to add insult to injury, I've tried talking about it with my mom, and all she does is play the victim: "Well, I said I'm sorry so what do you want from now omg!", i.e. I'm annoying them when I bring up the topic... And you know what my dad says after all this? "You should show some appreciation for our efforts in raising you right". Bottom line: I really think your method is the bare minimum of what is required.

your own source. It tracks the CO2 all the way up. There is no temperature to measure beyond max altitude.

This is a self-contradictory statement. Take care, tuts! ♥ *woman

I think it would be best if you reframe your question. As it stands, your question is tautological and answers itself. "me" is the definition of "not you". Why? Because definition.

This has already been attempted in the Persian Empire. When Rumi translated the Quran to old Persian, he translated it in a less extreme way and added in many Zoroastrian tenets to make it more palatable to the Iranians. Arguably, if it weren't for this last ditch effort to preserve the white identity of Iranians, they would probably be fully miscegenated by now. Thankfully, a minority still survive and they may be the solution to the Iran problem.

Soulfire, you're hilarious! Keep up the comedy; I like your style. Also, "we" aren't fucked. Just you people. This idea that you low-IQ sex-deviant arts major welfare recipients consider yourselves our equals....

For the lulz LULZ!

True. They have ((( Israel ))), the Saudis, China, etc. pulling the strings. Where they heck is our people?! Why aren't our guys lobbying the gov?

The value of anything is simply what you are willing to give up to get / preserve it. K-selected people have strong in-group preference. Why is it surprising that we are willing to sacrifice much more for the preservation of a human than that of an animal? R-selected people... well... they have no in-group preference. *puke*
