I am really going to willingly install Chinese spyware because it has cute anime girls on it?

Yes, yes I am

@AvvieLanche @matrix Fascism is a fad again because you guys won't let us live in peace, and the only way to get rid of the incessant, destructive nagging of the left is kilometers of rope. Decades of fake problems created specifically to push self-sabotaging rethoric while ignoring the real issues and undermining the quality of life of the middle class can only go one way. You could have simply let us live our lives and tolerate that we think differently than you, but you won't, and keep pushing for yet another terrible war that you can't win.

Tinkering is something different. Yeah, you can't kill human curiosity but you can hamper it and you can stop it from spreading. That's something that's been the norm for most of human history and is still happening in large parts of the world.

By building economically nonsensical projects that strengthen the governments power.....

I'm pretty Friedman didn't say that massive government spending is good or he didn't create the schooling system.

Wealth is created, not granted.

Yeah, I think ancaps are the true and moral anarchists, but I 100% agree. Ancapistan would end in a tyranny with Inc behind it's name.

@matrix
the ancap obsession on the market is pretty illiberal tbh, like liberalism itself was meant to be a protection against concentrations of power, it's why an excess of democracy can be a threat(i.e ochlocracy) as well as the encroachment of the state or the total privatization of the last resource for private gains

@AvvieLanche@stereodon.social
But why should they do that? China is proof that I'm right, just by slightly loosening the leash they started booming.
@lain_os @orekix

@AvvieLanche@stereodon.social
Yeah I agree, liberalism isn't ancapistan.

@AvvieLanche@stereodon.social
What?
It kills innovation because it doesn't recognize property rights thus innovators have no motivation to work more than the bare minimum.

There is no middle ground between fascism and communism.
The US was founded on liberal principles.
@lain_os @orekix

@AvvieLanche@stereodon.social
Both fascism and communism impoverish nations for the same exact reasons.

@AvvieLanche@stereodon.social
What has unregular capitalism do with fascism? Are you illiterate or are you using the extremely broad and therefore useless definition of fascism?
I dunno but what we have now is quite regulated.
I think that just looking at poverty rates and quality of life is quite enough proof to show that it works.
