That would be freaking awesome if it actually runs on a regular computer and not computer we’ll have 5 years from now (as was the case for a lot of emulators when they started working on them)

Ah yes, not a good person even when it would be advantageous to you, sorry I forgot you’re actively trying to be an asshole lmao We had already established that, sorry.

You’re the one who ridiculed someone for “believ[ing] Canada has anything resembling free speech?”

You’re the one making stupid assessment, why would I be the one providing proof?

It’s always the same with you people lol

It sure is better than “It is because I said so, and I’ll stop talking to you because you don’t agree”. Lmao

Go on then, what rights do you have that I don’t?

Because maybe, just maybe, you’re a good person?

Oh and also because pretty much every economist agrees that lower inequalities are better for the economy. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

It sounds absolutely great in theory, but in practice it could never work.

Say I want to build a house: As a society, we’ve come up with mandatory building codes that tell me how to build a house that’s going to be safe for everyone.

Suppose we got rid of this regulation for libertarianism’s sake.

Most people would still build to code because that’s just the smart thing to do but a small proportion of people would build it the cheapest way possible because it is now their god-given right to do so.

When that house inevitably fails at the worst possible time, I don’t care too much about what happens to the guy himself. He understood the risk and did it anyways. But in a worst case scenario, he could’ve been hosting a kids party that day or something.

Now apply this analogy to… Basically any regulation you’d want to get rid of.

It’s kind of always a balancing act between stopping people from killing each other from sheer stupidity, and letting them do and say whatever the fuck they want when they’re between their own four walls, and pure libertarianism doesn’t allow for that.

Billionaire is already a slur.

No one makes that much money without screwing over and abusing other people. There are no ethical billionaires.

Lmao alright gotcha you’re just not arguing in good faith then.

You’re just stating an opinion and presenting it as an inarguable fact lol

Nah what I’m saying is that most states’ taxation rates are pretty close to what you’d get in other developed countries.

Except pretty much every other developed country has cheap healthcare and education. The US is truly alone in this, and it shows, because the US also has some of the worst inequalities of the modern world.
