Reducing the size of government and ending war are policies libertarians support. How is he getting a check from News limited?

He’s on Fox News. Because he’s against the war establishment.

He endorsed Trump and gets a paycheck from News ltd. Just another cucked corporate who is neck deep in the ‘establishment’.

Do you know why he endorsed Trump? And why he has since stated his disappointment of some of the people Trump has placed in his cabinet?

 

[Val Keating]

This is the sort of accountability corporate types need.

Maybe if the hit was paid for by someone who’s family was done dirty by his company I’d agree, but a family that could afford pay for a hit on a Fortune 500 company CEO wouldn’t be in that type of situation. That hit would have cost a lot of money.

Oh this smith fella is all on Ross ulbricht. Fits nicely into the libertarian ‘either narcotic dealer or pedo’ rule quite snugly.

Do you think Ulbricht should still be locked up? He’s done at least 10 years… look at the case against him, it’s very flimsy.

Maybe. I'd assume that but it might not be a pro. There are alot of well trained people in the US who can use firearms. especially after decades of wars. Maybe ten families all put in together.

There are reports that the gunman left bullets and casings with words printed on them as BKK mentioned upthread.

Not for nothing, but the US got $3.6 BILLION dollars worth of bitcoin out of Silk Road at the time.

Yeah who knows. Definitely not their first time though.

I googled Dave Smith Fox News. Three videos are in the google search over the first two pages. The videos include:

• Smith criticising Israel, US involvement and US foreign policy in general
• Smith destroying Chris Cuomo regarding individual liberties being lost during covid and media lies
• Smiths view that Trump was falling into the trap of his first administration hiring a few Neo-cons who want to continue Americas interventionist foreign policy.

Nice try.

Removing corporations and the state. Thats communism bud. At least in Lenin’s eyes.

Removing the state and letting corporations do whatever they want is libertarianism. Libertarians loooooove hierarchy. Their pissing and moaning usually comes from their frustration about not being at the top of it. The sure as **** d ont want to see the end of it.

Im not advocating removing either, just the protections they afford.

without going deep into the legal side, Ie builder builds house, dissolves company, starts new company and claims he doesn't have to fix house because it's a different company. I gave the example before of the Brazilian damn collapse a couple of posts back, which cost a group of indigenous lives, plus tainted the river for the next decade or so. that's allegedly been done because someone ignored the engineers report, then hidden behind the company protections.

you can't have a radical redistribution of power like libertarianism without removing the legal safeguards to personal responsibility. otherwise you're just creating company overlords with money instead of bloodlines. which is why libertarian ideology exists, to raise everyones rights up to what the kings had of the time.

 

[DesertRoo]

You can't take anything to its logical conclusion without ****ing everything else in the world up completely.

Most phenomena and systems exist on a spectrum and trend toward the middle of that spectrum. Pushing them to their extreme's drives things out of balance.

this, we've got a pretty good system in place now, sure it needs a hell of a lot of work and I'd like to rid us of the royal family but alternatives at present are a dogs breakfast.

BTW how's Macron vowing to stay on till '27...

Going to elect a new Prime Minster in a couple of days, if he goes for another political ally from minority gov, he'll have the same tenure as the last.

The synagogue attack in Melbourne is disguising, humanity at its worst on display.

Hasn’t the government collapsed?

 

[DesertRoo]

Hasn’t the government collapsed?

Kind of, think of it like the US midterms, the President(macron) is still in power but he has lost support of the house.

The pres nominates the prime minster but without the support of house he is pretty much a lame duck.

and he basically doesn’t have any moves as both the parties apposed to him are eu skeptics, so he doesn’t want to deal with them and he keeps bringing in eu people to fix the mess, you can imagine the result.

So the government hasn’t collapsed per say it’s just you’ve got a guy who’s clinging to power, when it’s apparent he has lost it.

 

[Ligma]

It’s going to be very hot today

Macron is better than all the alternative feasible options for French presidency. And it's not particularly close.

Are the French people hitting the streets? Nobody protests like the French.

The cops have released images of who they believe the shooter is. Only a matter of time now before they get him now.

Look at how quick the cops have been compared to what they’d do in south Chicago when a poor black kid gets shot.

 

[Val Keating]

The clearance rate for homicides is lower for Black victims than for White victims. In 2021, the clearance rate was 21.7% in predominantly Black neighborhoods, compared to 45.6% in predominantly White neighborhoods.
