it must be nice to be a conspiracy theorist as you can discard whatever happens at will and construct an alternative reality must be very handy wish I had that skill
I know it doesn’t suit your narrative but people are excited about Harris and she has the momentum now, will that translate into a win? I don’t know. Like I said Trump may very well be something unnatural. One of the reasons I ever posted here was because of the visions I had in 2015 after watching coverage of then candidate Trump. It left an impression on me and forced me to face my views and outlook as I was much more of a standard NAP libertarian who believed in a lot of CT’s
yeah I’m surprised by how quickly Harris rallied the party and gained enthusiasm and sure the media did help create this and I think some of it was to push aside Joseph R Biden as Harris is to the right of him economically and is much more corporate friendly.
I think Joe realized he was old and was trying to do the right thing and was doing a surprisingly good job. I’m a little salty that the best president in my life ( admittedly a low bar ) was hounded from office for someone who I think is more right wing.
That said she’s fine, I’d rather her in office than the nightmare that Trump is. That’s all I can say man. Life Will marginally be better and easier with the democrats. If she wins I can go back to criticizing her and the dems.
Libertarians stole from anarchists, the word libertarian historically meant libertarian socialism and left wing anarchism ( see Nestor Makhno for example ) until Murray Rothbard stole it for right wing uses
fwiw left wing market anarchism and the individualist anarchists are my favorite ones historically speaking, I think food housing shelter and healthcare should be accessible by anyone but I do believe markets are useful and that people have a right to material prosperity as long as it’s not coming at the expense ofnothers
clearly markets are the foundation of civilization ( in some sense at least ) and I don’t think having the state manage the economy is any better than having billionaires do it
capitalism is essentially state sponsored protection for certain interests in the market it is not a free market economy
alas!
