..Isn’t that how sidewalks and all public goods already work in the scheme of things. With taxes and such.

The ancap mindset is like what if I paid more for everything my taxes already pay for, and all of it was done in the least efficient, most uncoordinated way possible.

@interlinked they think more capitalism + no government is the best idea ever, it's stupid in ways I cannot describe

@zoocat We tried this and it was called the Ronald Reagan Administration

@zoocat @interlinked I used to listen to an Ancap about this and he always would say shit like "Robber Barrons?? THERE WERE NO SUCH THING! These were HARD WORKERS to FLOURISHED in the FREE MARKET!!!" and then he would say real quietly "unless they used force" but then he got tired of that so he started justifying their use of force for very small things, like for deception or trespassing.

@Jazzy_Butts @zoocat @interlinked thats how everything works in ancapistan

everything is just tanks and people constantly threatening to shoot each other
"oh slaves got captured by colonizers because they had sticks, in ancapistan everyone will have tanks and IFVS"
WHAT IF I DONT WANT TO DO THAT
I JUST WANNA LIVE
