  • What if?

  • Next time I talk to a girl at a party, I'm gonna ask to see her browser history "because it's a good test for red flags." Judging someone by what they watch or read is stupid. Judging someone by what YT thinks they would like to watch is even worse. I know this is completely besides the point, and it is just a meme, but judgy behavior like that irks me.

  • Yes.

  • No, they don't. It's bad that someone buys this to begin with, and yeah it sucks that they're taking up two parking spaces, but why direct your hate towards a person who actually seems to have a better attitude than 99% of people driving similar vehicles?

  • why isn't it ok? why????

  • I think this is the nicest way to go about parking a vehicle like this. I might think it's a bigger vehicle than necessary, but this is not the person who should primarily receive hate for their choice of car.

  • It's a lot more interesting to have a goblin that somehow managed overcome its evil nature if basically all other goblins are genuinely crooked and evil, than if they're all "just another race" that's misunderstood. Yes, most villains should probably be more interesting and nuanced than just being evil due to their race, but evil races/monsters aren't a bad thing in a fantasy.

  • People have to be able to question the motive of content without being accused of "stirring the pot". Personally I really appreciated that the comment you replied to was posted, as it led you to reply to it, so that I could get more context and information.

  • Fair point, albeit a different one from the one I was making.

  • Oh, I'm not blaming you at all, I'm just commenting on the article

  • Misleading title. Not incorrect, but it is based on what the source of income is, it is not about how rich you are relative to the rest of the population. The title makes it sound like if you make a certain amount of money, your tax rate is lowered. Alternatively, it sounds like the richest Dutch are evading 12% worth of taxes. But neither of these are true statements AFAIK, and either way they aren't made in the article, so the title is misleading.

    Edit: Changed "the top 1%" to "the richest Dutch".

    Mullvad ads on local subway

  • I agree with that, it's important to consider what's being advertised and in what way.

  • I've seen their ads in Sweden before IIRC. They don't seem to be very common though. Why don't you like that they're advertising?

  • Them redefining anarchism is precisely the point I was making. It's not impossible for there to exist different definitions of the same term; you don't have to agree with them to acknowledge their existence. And from that point of view it's not necessarily a self-contradictory philosophy, it's basically just fantasy capitalism. As I understand it, they are basically defining anarchism as opposition specifically to the state (as defined by its monopoly on violence). Rights to "life, liberty and property" are to be upheld by "decentralized" (and I use that term extremely loosely here) private enforcement agencies. Imo this is both unrealistic and undesirable, but it isn't inconsistent on a philosophical level, which tends to be the level most an ancaps argue from, since their ideology is incredibly impractical and idealistic.

    On a more meta level I agree that it's just an alternative "cooler" version of libertarian capitalism for the edgier crowd, but that's not the point I was trying to make.

  • Idk, I feel like a lot of these political terms have multiple definitions depending on time and context. The word "liberal", for example, has very different meaning depending on which political group you ask, not to mention its evolution over the course of history, and its meaning in different countries and political systems. There are many valid and important criticisms of anarcho-capitalism, but purposefully misunderstanding what people mean by the word isn't a very strong one imo.

  • Being an anarchist capitalist really just stems from having a different definition of anarchism than most anarchist denominations (I'm not one btw, I've just spent a lot of time speaking to different types of anarchists in the past). I know it's just a sidenote and not your main point, just wanted to point it out.
