Maybe you have, in a year or two. Good luck!

How about other unemployed game developers? Why not make a game together?

Those executives can also use the state for abuse. It's easier to get tax money with one government contract than having to sell something to all citizens. Or remember those epi pens. Regulations can be used to massively increase profits.

The point of free markets is that executives can be corrupt. Instead of voting every 5 years, customers can immediately react and buy somewhere else.

You may be right that private interests don't immediately fill up a government vacuum. With the internet, times may have changed and it could be easy for citizens to coordinate.

It could. Making a game for free is a trope. What would be your role? Do you think that others would join your game? I would rather expect that everybody would want to have some influence and create something new.

Your time will come when the drone wars heat up.

In which way? Downvoters don't see your point.

Your art creation sounds courageous. Do you share it somewhere online?

They obviously lack a role model in their life. If there is a market for such an app, who has or is going to develop an app that fills that gap and offers the knowledge sincerely that they are missing, without the abusive parts?

What would it take to revive it?

Is there a forum where billionaires interact with other citizens in a constructive way to figure out where to invest money for the benefit of all?

If 90% are not able to vote for parties that tax the 1%, then democracy doesn't work. What has to change?

Or 90% know that they don't care about investing money and prefer to leave that decision to the 1%.

That's what you can do by yourself. Since you are not alone, do all of you together have the opportunity to do something else?

Sorry for the wrong assessment.

There can be rough "libertarians" but I think most don't want to dismantle a libertarian state but instead want to create one. A lost opportunity where left and right could meet.

To me, the meme is not clearly right wing because the clown looks like the joker.

Let me shift the last part a bit. Corrupt executives are expected. That's why freedom is important so that nobody is locked in with them. The same cannot be said for civil servants. As long as a party covers important topics, it can be corrupt in many other areas and voters cannot change anything.

You could think of Xi as a monarch.

Could you all do something together that made your applications more attractive?

Money only makes money if you choose to invest in things that increase in value.

If everybody invests in lithium mines then there will be a surplus and many investors will lose money.

It's work to collect the information to make the right choices.

Like workers don't share with the third world miners who provided the raw materials, billionaires don't share either. They can be taxed, though. But how much?

Should their billions be taken? Then who has the money to invest in risky opportunities? How much of their wages are workers willing to pool for those investments?

Welcome back, Mr Nietzsche. How long are you going to stay?

Is it still libertarianism if those freedoms don't exist anymore? I don't think libertarians argue for no regulations.

Regarding the bad people, the trick is that bad people don't look bad, much like captured markets offer the illusion of choice. So it's difficult to vote them out.

The thing is that we argue different moments in development. You compare the correction of the corrupted states whereas I was talking about maintaining the functioning states.

Is it not an option to leave the window open and give the fly some time?

Libertarianism also works if there is information about bad people and good people are free to avoid them.

Freedom of information and freedom of action.

It's easier to avoid bad people in free markets than it is to prevent them from taking and abusing positions of power in a powerful state.
