That's any service where the service provider has the customer over a barrel.

You don't need private prisons for that. 90% of prisons are government run, and police unions have been lobbying for decades to keep shit illegal.

There's no way to test that. You can't really see what didn't happen.

It's similar to your position. I just have a different path to a stateless, voluntary society. I also don't really care what the economic system looks like, so long as human rights are recognized.

Now I need to find a way to get paid as if I wasn't a waste of oxygen. I could have gone to uni, after all.

I'm certainly overly reductive of politics. When we're talking ideology, though, yeah I'm going back to my ethics. A government can't act on our behalf with more rights than us - we just end up creating our master. Pragmatic actions, in the real world, are different from ideological conversations, though.

Then we gradually dismantle corps by eliminating regulatory capture, IP and limited liability over time and we all win.

Not really a gotcha. I just forget I'm pretty alone in my (particular) distaste for violence.

Edit: didn't really mean for that to sound so negative.

If it makes you feel any better I just think human interaction should be voluntary.

Do you believe that collective forms of ownership would win on an even playing field?

So you just want the violence you prefer meted out by the state.

There are voluntarists that believe we are ethically obligated to help each other, but aren't willing to use violence to force others to do what we want.

Robin Hood liked the king. He was noble himself.

It's not just for one bad instance, it also forces the government to consider armed resistance to their actions. You also have a private right to defend yourself.

Sounds like how dogs chase the mailman away.

It's trained on fucking pol ffs. It doesn't have to actually be good to be better.

I mean if you let a chatbot learn from conversations the internet will try to turn it into hitler.

Someone trained a GPT4 model on 4chan and it supposedly scored pretty high on...truthfulness. YT link.

I've been paying like 10/mo for solidworks.

When we were gearing up for a contract they started finding things like jelly donuts and mystery shit in our products. No direct damage, but funny as fuck. We voted to strike with two days left of the contract and decided to send us all home and pay us for it.
