Board 8 > Freedom, Liberty, Ron Paul - Freedom Watch Edition [dwmf]

(+) Yeah! (+)

The rumor on libertarian facebook is that Fox is going to bring back Freedom Watch with the judge!

I find this almost completely unbelivable, but several people claim to have heard it from the judge himself... I guess time will tell

Remember, Fox literally aired this thing for a couple years before actually watching it and realizing it was completely and totally anti-government in every way.

lol, didn't they also fire stossel?

not sure why they keep hiring libertarian pundits only to fire them when they shit on the government.
---

Stossel retired because he had cancer, they very much wanted him to stay

My theory is that now that Trump is in power, shitting on the government is cool again, and this is Fox's attempt at anti-Trump virtue-signaling.
---

ah. misremembered then.

It's pretty cool though how they can solve the original problem and much more just by banning a symptom (political propaganda). Often there's this idea that you need to go to the source to truly eliminate a problem, but that might not be the best way in some cases.

it's not because "the media is completely and totally in the tank for her," it's because she's a pretty young chick with the potential to become very popular and people don't care if she is ignorant/says something that's wrong. trump said a million things that were hilariously wrong during the campaign and he still became president.

people only gave johnson shit for aleppo because he was the leader of a fringe party nobody cared about and he didn't have enough charisma to pull off the "being ignorant" thing.

This is the exact sort of thing libertarians have always been saying about regulations. They exist to make it so that it's harder for people to actually collect damages from big companies. So long as the company can prove that it did everything the government told it to do, they won't be held legally liable, even when their behavior clearly damages individuals.

Well, the shitposters have officially won.

Police chief got clowned so he suspended them

wait is the fact that it's upside down relevant?

I never even knew/noticed that part
---

It has to be below your waist to count

so if I make an OK sign facing up above my waist am I not implying whites are superior?

because I refuse to make any non-racist hand gestures

You will always be a beacon of white inferiority, don't worry

p decent off the cuff humor
---

The off the cuff backpedaling on everything he said about Putin is pretty good
---

pretty dumb joke but by trump's standards it's good i guess
---

An interesting take from an SSC commenter on Trump's theory that he could shoot someone in broad daylight and not lose supporters

Having a bunch of innocent people killed for various reasons is an inherent part of carrying out the day to day duties of being president of the United States.That Trump has the moral courage to look at least one of them in the eye as he personally pulls the trigger is a ringing endorsement! Do you really want some liberal or cuckservative who just picks up the phone and erases people by the villagefull but doesnt have the balls to be within a thousand miles?

well, we don't have any proof that trump would actually have the balls to do it but that doesn't matter to his supporters, i guess.
---

It's not interesting at all, that was literally the first bottom of the barrel dumbass straw grasping take that came out 30 seconds after that statement. That's the problem with SSC. He says the most basic shit but uses 3000 words so people think it's insightful.

I mean, in a hypothetical libertarian society, do you think that the casino should be liable for damages here?

I don't know precisely what they are being accused of or enough details to determine whether they're guilty of it or not.

But in a hypothetical libertarian society, they wouldn't just be able to immediately escape blame by saying "but we did what the government said we had to do!"

Even if the capital holders at MGM were ultimately not at fault for the terrorist spree, they should still be the ones shouldering the primary burden of the disaster, as the capital holders. That's what the libertarian society would emphasize.
---

Why them, as opposed to:

- The gun manufacturers

- The store that sold him the guns

What makes MGM capital holders solely responsible for this? Or do you think the burden should be shared?
---

All of those are also capital holders and would be responsible proportional to their capital share

The point is that the victims aren't responsible for it

Some people HATE the fact that I got along well with President Putin of Russia. They would rather go to war than see this. Its called Trump Derangement Syndrome!

Oh god, has he alienated enough people that his closest advisor is now Scott Adams?
---

trump has used the term TDS plenty of times before but yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if he secretly hired scott adams to be his communication advisor.

i also love that false dichotomy. "either i sleep with putin or the US goes to war with russia!" man, it's almost like there's a middle ground option he's not including here.
