That is kind of a weak argument. I think lovecraft's work is a decent read, and he is influential and referenced. Still, I am not saying we should adopt his work view. JK Rowing is similar. Her books got lots of kids interested in reading and there is a good message about who you grow up to be. Again, not saying we should adopt her world views. You can pirate their works or find them second hand.
This really sucks. I bought a Pixel 7 for the ROMs, GrapheneOS to be specific, so this puts me in an awkward spot. Wish I could have myself a Fair Phone and a Framework laptop.
I am not sure who this guy is, or why we aren't more open to separating the work from the artist; seems to be a kind of ad hominem. If you don't want to give them money for the work you can still buy second hand or just pirate.
Im empathetic to surface level libertarian stuff, but i have to treat them for what they are overall; supporters of oligarchy. Their attacks on environmental protections and civil rights don't out right say it, but its clear and the logical conclusion for "let the market solve it"
Part of the issue here is that you are supporting a libertarian platform. Cutting aid for the needy and cutting taxes to support oligarchy is pretty much their game plan. They won't say they are supporting oligarchy, but it is the logical conclusion of their ideas.
Anarcho-capitalists are ghouls. There is a lot riding on this to keep exporting his experiments (like DOGE), so it will be a long time until we know how badly his polices have hurt ordinary argentinians.
True, even Milton Friedman (barf) said we should be thankful if someone wants to subsides our lives. Besides these market extremists say all government intervention is bound to fail, so they should have nothing to fear letting the BYDs in. The socialist subsidy of BYD will collapse and we don't want the government distorting our market either.
This isn't really my personal take, but i like using their own logic to reach a conclusion they will hate.
Its largely american cope that they are not that good at manufacturing anymore. Chinese factories build things to spec, and the customer asks for cheap, so they get cheap.
but to everyone saying “we should just compete”, do you realize the realities that Chinese workers experience? Have you heard of 996?
I get what you are saying, but sometimes I think we should in a way, or at least we should get republicans exposed to it, so they can live their hogwash ideas of free markets.
First time I am hearing about this guy, but
fair enough.
