Libertarianism Debunked
AncapFTW replied to Mister Mister's topic in Libertarianism, Anarchism and Economics
I'm currently watching this debunking of the video: -
Which laws violate the Constitution?
AncapFTW replied to AncapFTW's topic in Libertarianism, Anarchism and Economics
Including mandating Obamacare. I remember people saying that because they can regulate interstate commerce, that means they can regulate healthcare. And somehow that means they can force it on you. I don't remember the exact argument. -
My family was watching an episode of the tv show "The Waltons", and in one of the episodes a 50 year old man that had had a heart attack already is drafted for WWII. He knew it was a mistake, and was in the process of filling out the papers to report the mistake, so he didn't show up when they said to. The sent an agent to his store and hauled him to the draft office so that they could deal with it. This got me thinking that the draft wasn't the only law which clearly violated the Constitution but is still in effect. (in this case, the Thirteenth, which bans slavery and indentured servitude, except as punishment for a crime. As they were selected at random, and not because they committed a crime, and kidnapped because of it, they were Warrior Slaves, not soldiers. Many laws violate the first amendment (everything from laws mandating that you serve everyone to laws banning you from protesting without a permit), all gun regulations violate the second, the Constitution specifically bans Federally mandated school standards (which they get around by taking money from the states, then giving it back if they meet certain standards), and there are many more. I was thinking that if we could get together a list, we could use it to show people how the government doesn't even follow its own laws. Which others can you add to the list?

Free Speech Is A Government Program
AncapFTW replied to Will Torbald's topic in Libertarianism, Anarchism and Economics
I've seen people considering starting a new social media outlet that has free speech, fair use, etc. written into its rules. Basically, make a new business that doesn't give into this crap and pick up the people that are leaving the other services. Of course, if I had the know how and money I'd make an "onion" style phone system that encrypted anything sent over it. -
Immigrants can act on their own. Guns don't. Guns are tools used to sometimes do crimes. Immigrants are people that sometimes choose to do those crimes.

The rights of consenting sex and child support
AncapFTW replied to Catalyst's topic in Men's Issues, Feminism and Gender
You can't transfer a fetus and it survive, at least not with current medical tech, so the fact that it will die if you remove it is the main concern. With a cow it doesn't matter so much, and is just a property rights issue, but with a human being there's someone else that will die if you kick them out. Kicking someone out knowing that they will die if you do isn't just "a dick move", it's murder. And in this case you pretty much kidnapped the person while they were knocked out and put them in your house in the first place. The only reason they were there is because you put them there without them having a say in it one way or another. Tell me, if I picked up a guy that was knocked/passed out on the docks, sailed with him out into the ocean, and through him overboard, knowing he would drown, would that just be a "dick move" or would I have murdered him? -
I think you only need an area that's free of government, and enough people in the area that will stand up to the attempt to use violence against them.

The rights of consenting sex and child support
AncapFTW replied to Catalyst's topic in Men's Issues, Feminism and Gender
Now that I know it's possible, I am ignoring it. The last time I asked about it, though, I was told it wasn't possible. We buy a cow together and it is in your pasture. I say "it's not grown yet, so you can't take it to a slaughterhouse yet." Am I claiming ownership of your land? I see you about to slit a passed out hobo's throat and grab your hand to stop you. Am I claiming ownership of your body? I see a man ripping a screaming woman's clothes off in an alley. I pull him off of her. Did I claim ownership of either of their bodies? -
Time to celebrate the improvement of majority rule over small minority rule. Still have a long way to go. I wonder what kind of holidays we'll have in an Anarchy? I could see an actual Independence Day celebration happening, as well as the popular ones like Christmas, Easter, and maybe Thanksgiving/Halloween (which could be a combined harvest festival).

I need an ar-15 because I'm afraid of YOU
AncapFTW replied to Worlok's topic in Libertarianism, Anarchism and Economics
Too bad this argument doesn't work for defending yourself against thugs in costumes. Just try to use this as the reason you need a gun in countries/states that require you to have a reason before they allow you to carry. -
The rights of consenting sex and child support
AncapFTW replied to Catalyst's topic in Men's Issues, Feminism and Gender
Please stop trolling me. You are literally saying that a person is her property, then saying that you can't own another person. If you had actually read my post you would realize that I had just said that, but you would rather troll people by using a double standard instead. If you respond to me again I'm going to report you for trolling. -
A virtual nation is essentially a group of people who call themselves a country so that they can decide what laws they have to follow. I would think that anarchists would support the idea of people banding together to create their own communities with their own laws.
