The pension was the most poisoned pill the white man ever took.

@Senpai-kun @sizzletron@noagendasocial.com
Yes, but I would never expect that they will take it away from people with 20+ year experience with shooting guns under pressure.

@LukeAlmighty @Senpai-kun @sizzletron wait until the assets in the funds that hold their pensions shit the bed

@dew_the_dew @sizzletron@noagendasocial.com @Senpai-kun
That happened literaly the year the entire concept was created. They just pay by printing more.

@LukeAlmighty @sizzletron @Senpai-kun it is all going into stonks but we are also looking at another 2008 scenario. the pension at the end of the rainbow is the only thing keeping a lot of the police/military in line. if the economy shits the bed they are free agents again.

@dew_the_dew @sizzletron@noagendasocial.com @Senpai-kun
Do not forget sunken cost fallacy. That beast will drive some people insane...

@dew_the_dew @sizzletron@noagendasocial.com @Senpai-kun
I saw people work after not being paid, because they were "promissed pay", and it would be sunken cost to leave.

Humans are stupid that way.

@Senpai-kun @sizzletron@noagendasocial.com @dew_the_dew
No, they are stupid.

To continue to work is to provide something for nothing. There is NOTHING keeping them there.

And if they turn their back, most enployers are smart enough to suddenly find the cash to pay them anyway.

They lost respect for themselves to even negotiate their own terms.

@Senpai-kun @sizzletron@noagendasocial.com @dew_the_dew
Oh... I don't know what country you live in, but do you REEEELY want to tell me, that there are legal implications of leaving an unpaid job? :alexjonessmile:

@LukeAlmighty @sizzletron @dew_the_dew

More specifically workers have no collective bargaining power. The power imbalance between employer and employee is lopsided and cannot be fixed individually.

@Senpai-kun @sizzletron@noagendasocial.com @dew_the_dew
Fuck that commie noise.

One man leaving is more power then you can fathem.

When one leaves for not getting paid, other will consider the same. And when more leave, the employer is fucked.

And even when just you leave, you are no longer a slave.

@LukeAlmighty @sizzletron @dew_the_dew

Going Galt is not a threat to employers. People who have families need incomes. Employers fear unions, not lone wolves vanishing off into the woods.

@Senpai-kun @sizzletron@noagendasocial.com @dew_the_dew
Yeah... and unions are the oldest trojan horse bullshit in the book.

@LukeAlmighty @sizzletron @dew_the_dew

If you are a libertarian then you should be pro-union. They are the most voluntary and least governmental way for workers to correct the individual power imbalance between employee and employer.

@Senpai-kun @sizzletron@noagendasocial.com @dew_the_dew
Yes, I am libertarian, and I never asked anyone for a premision to say "FUCK YOU NEGRO" to a boss.

And they treat me accordingly, knowing, that the first day my pay is not where it should be, or I decide its too low, I walk away.

@LukeAlmighty @sizzletron @dew_the_dew

If you can't even say nigger on fedi then someone owns your mouth.

@Senpai-kun @sizzletron@noagendasocial.com @dew_the_dew
Says the guy promoting literal slavery....

But they need their masta... :pepeDread:

Follow

@Senpai-kun @sizzletron@noagendasocial.com @dew_the_dew
Ok, I quit.

You are dumber then average commie. They at least ask for "everyone to his needs"

@LukeAlmighty @sizzletron @dew_the_dew

Wait, what? Not even a voluntary union?

Is there any collective you wouldn't object to, no matter how voluntary?

Would a bowling club violate your individualist principles?

@Senpai-kun @sizzletron@noagendasocial.com @dew_the_dew
I said I quit
QUIT

I refuse to debate details of what limits are or are not acceptable with someone, who says working for 0 (free) (nothing) (voluntary slavery) is a good financial decision.

@LukeAlmighty @sizzletron @dew_the_dew

Do you think that people only take deals that are bad for them due to stupidity, and never because they are under duress?

@Senpai-kun @sizzletron@noagendasocial.com @dew_the_dew
I think you're too stupid to understand the meaning of "i quit".

i will talk about different topics, including your stupidity, but you and economics are now connected om my "not a single sentence" list.

@LukeAlmighty @sizzletron @dew_the_dew

The source of your frustration is that your ideology of extreme individualism has failed you. You can't acknowledge the concept of duress and you can't support a voluntary collective. Your individualism has taken priority even over your libertarianism.

@SneedsterSpeedster @LukeAlmighty @dew_the_dew @sizzletron

This guy can't even be a libertarian, due to reducto ad absurdum levels of individualism.
@SneedsterSpeedster @LukeAlmighty @dew_the_dew @sizzletron

I'd know more if it weren't for the ragequit. I doubt it would be satisfyingly coherent from this point on.

@SneedsterSpeedster @sizzletron@noagendasocial.com @Senpai-kun @dew_the_dew
Nah, Anarchism is about as thought out ideology as communism. Although, I do see the appeal, anarchism cannot exist in a world, where some people refuse to be anarchist. WOW. The EXACTLY same problem as with communism :ablobcheer2:

@LukeAlmighty @SneedsterSpeedster @sizzletron @dew_the_dew

Communism has definitely existed in places in the world where there were people who did not want to be communist.
@Senpai-kun @LukeAlmighty @sizzletron @dew_the_dew
There's an important distinction between a society run by communists, USSR and so on, and a communist society - class less, state less, currency less society with common ownership of the means of production.
@SneedsterSpeedster @LukeAlmighty @dew_the_dew @sizzletron

This is the trouble I always have with ideologies that come from the left. They tend to define themselves by their promised outcomes and not at all by their working mechanisms. It's a syntax I just don't operate in.
@Senpai-kun @SneedsterSpeedster @LukeAlmighty @dew_the_dew @sizzletron Libertarians are retards. Human civilization is a team sport. Libertarianism is like trying to play football where every player is running whatever play they want and expecting not to get totally crushed in 2 seconds by a coordinated team that works together.
@LorgarAurelian1488 @LukeAlmighty @SneedsterSpeedster @dew_the_dew @sizzletron

In this case, he is not even a libertarian. He thinks he is, but he is a bit wrong. A libertarian would be able to support voluntary labor unions as a general concept, even if they don't like specific ones in practice. His extreme levels of individualism prevent him from being a libertarian. He cannot even endorse the concept of a voluntary collective.

@Senpai-kun @SneedsterSpeedster @sizzletron@noagendasocial.com @dew_the_dew @LorgarAurelian1488
This is why I never debate beyond a certain level of stupidity. These people will start making up entire fairytales about what I believe just to justify their own oposition. :pepeFacepalm:

@LukeAlmighty @SneedsterSpeedster @sizzletron @dew_the_dew @LorgarAurelian1488

You call that a debate? You couldn't even clarify your own position on one very simple political position.

@Senpai-kun @SneedsterSpeedster @sizzletron@noagendasocial.com @dew_the_dew @LorgarAurelian1488
So you made my position up, and kept on complaining how I am against vulentary unions, even when I said only "i quit".

No, I do not call that a debate. you got that point correct.

@LukeAlmighty @SneedsterSpeedster @sizzletron @dew_the_dew @LorgarAurelian1488

What else was I to deduce from your stated positions against voluntary collectives? That stance clearly favors anti-collectivism so highly that it interferes with voluntarism. Ergo you are an individualist before being a libertarian.

I can show my work here. Can you?

Most libertarians would not be libertarians, if they believed something as a "team" even exists. But the ammount of backstabing in this "team" should turn everyone into a libertarian imho.

I have never seen anyone who claimed to be on "my side" actually do the slightent inconvenience to help me.

@LukeAlmighty @LorgarAurelian1488 @SneedsterSpeedster @sizzletron @dew_the_dew

You are not a libertarian. You are an individualist. Even libertarianism allows for collectivization on a voluntary basis.

Words have meanings. Use them correctly.

@LukeAlmighty @LorgarAurelian1488 @SneedsterSpeedster @sizzletron@noagendasocial.com @dew_the_dew @Senpai-kun it is precisely backwards, decent libertarians do believe in a team, that's a way to recognise and respect the liberty of each team member
