    DEMOCRACY (the God that failed)

    LOL, if only 'the poor' had capitalism...they'd be able to start a business w/o jumping through govt.-licensing hoops, not have to worry about the socialist police force cracking their skulls, and wouldn't be getting screwed by socialist taxes & socialist monetary/banking system... "Democracy"...

    Scott Santens: Universal Basic Income

    I work doing manual labor & don't expect 'free' shit from anyone...I also realize that we live the way we do today because our ancestors here in the West did back-breaking work in conditions none of us can even imagine (while managing to keep the govt. largely off of their backs)...all the...

    DEMOCRACY (the God that failed)

    Thanks, I'll listen to it. I'm generally fine w/any kind of human arrangements as long as they're voluntary. IMO, fascism (essentially the merging of economy & state, a permutation of communism) is the model most modern govts. have adopted for some time now. Fascist symbology at Lincoln...

    DEMOCRACY (the God that failed)

    Imagine, for a second, that we are living in the American South in 1858...I'm pro-slavery (which is still the norm for most of human history) and you're anti-slavery. Now, convince me that slavery should be abolished...tell me who will pick the cotton if the negro slavers are freed...?

    DEMOCRACY (the God that failed)

    And I expect communism/socialism to end like it always does (see USSR, East Bloc, Cuba, Venezuela, Red China, Communist Cambodia, etc.). Once again, if communism/socialism is so great, I would expect people like you to get together w/like-minded people (there are plenty of rich Leftists like...

    DEMOCRACY (the God that failed)

    Who will pick the cotton if we free the negro slaves...? The difference between us is that you think like a central-planner (thanks to your forced govt.-school indoctrination)...I don't, therefore I'm not arrogant enough to imagine that I have all the answers. Now, explain to me--in your...

    Scott Santens: Universal Basic Income

    The fact that folks are seriously considering insane ideas like UBI & "there is no such thing as gender" probably indicates we are close to some kind of major societal collapse...a lot of assholes take their comfy 1st-world lives for granted...

    DEMOCRACY (the God that failed)

    Even if one believes in democracy, how insane is it that 18 y.o.'s are allowed to vote? Or people who collect welfare or a govt. paycheck (conflict-of-interest--HELLO!)? People w/sub-100 IQs or mental deficiencies (for Christ's sake, a neighbor of mine is 25 but is autistic w/the mentality of...

    DEMOCRACY (the God that failed)

    Well, when America was heavily libertarian (specifically from the end of the Civil War/1865 to right before WWI/1913), we saw possibly the greatest improvement in human living standards/progress EVER. I'm not sure how opposing a Ruler-Ruled system makes me a "Utopianist". I don't know why...

    Scott Santens: Universal Basic Income

    No, the "right to rule" is only considered by the vast majority of people to be legitimate when the corporation DBA "Govt." does it. Indeed, instead of starving us, private corps. LITERALLY feed us. Whole Foods doesn't scare me in the least...but govt. can murder me w/impunity. Imagine, for a...

    DEMOCRACY (the God that failed)

    Democracy (the fallacious concept that currently legitimizes the Ruler/Lord/Master-Subject/Serf/Slave model that has dominated human relations for 1000's of years) has become one of the most popular religions on Earth...whereas, once-upon-a-time, Rulers claimed a mandate from God, they're now...

    "Govt." is simply a legalized mafia (or a form of slavery that the participants pretend isn't slavery)...do what they command or they'll kill you.

    Scott Santens: Universal Basic Income

    I'm always struck at how people think that the fictitious entity called "govt" is somehow separate from the people in govt. who claim a divine-right to rule other people or that writing something down and calling it a "constitutional right" somehow magically makes the immoral moral. No matter...

    Scott Santens: Universal Basic Income

    Govt. by its very nature is authoritarian seeking to be totalitarian. Govt. is, itself, a corporation. I don't see democracy--w/i the context of an authoritarian state--as a good thing. I certainly don't think giving every idiot who happens to turn 18 a vote. See Hans Herman Hoppe's...

    Scott Santens: Universal Basic Income

    Farming used to employ the vast majority of the population at the dawn of the 20th century. Technology eliminated like 95% or more of those jobs and people adjusted w/o a massive wealth redistribution scheme. You have no idea what things will look like in 20 years or if the trends you think...

    Scott Santens: Universal Basic Income

    Why do people act as if socialism/communism/authoritarianism is some new, exciting idea...? Why do so many otherwise free-thinking people here at THC think putting politicians/bureaucrats in control of society is a good idea...?

    Scott Santens: Universal Basic Income

    I wonder if you people realize that every dollar a recipient on the receiving end of the 'free' UBI gets has to be taken from someone else that actually worked for that dollar...? I wonder how having 30-50% of their labor stolen by the govt. affects the health & happiness of the people actually...
