SlothfulCobra posted:Indentured servitude is the term you're looking for. There was a history in America of people agreeing to work without pay for some period of time, often as as the price of passage over to America. It often gets overlooked between better living conditions, the fact that it was [supposed to be] temporary and voluntary, and the fact that it isn't sociologically relevant in any modern racial power structure. Indentured apprenticeship was common in the trade guilds in pre-modern Europe and the colonies as well as well. The usual terms for an apprentice included trading their labor and a sum up front from the parents for room, board, clothing, and instruction for a certain number of years in exchange for education in the trade and eventually being set up as a journeyman. IIRC 7 years was the average, entered into around age 12.

IIRC 7 years was the average, entered into around age 12. A corollary to indentured servitude was the medieval labor pledge, which especially in eastern Europe but broadly across the rest of the continent was one of the earliest forms of credit for the cash-poor countryside. Free/free-ish peasants would pledge x amounts of labor, usually denoted in months, to whichever noble/church prelate/monarch with the resources to help them build on or develop their holdings. This dropped out of prominence in both as serfdom became more prominent under the Tsars and manorial Europe squeezed the Churls increasingly down into Villeins.

If my memory serves, the early bitcoin scene had two notable Bruces: Bruce Wagner and Bruce Fenton. Both were creeps, but one was creepier than the other ie more than usually obsessed with age of consent laws even by libertarian standard.

It's always family court and speeding tickets that drive sov cits completely insane. I have had the bad luck of having to talk to several of them and it is always a family court issue or them refusing to pay a ticket that escalates into years of insanity. I also encountered the "Moorish" version of Sov Cits and the guy had a special passport and ID that designated him as a Moor of the world and not bound by the laws of any nation. Weirdly, he discovered his heritage and special legal status after getting a wage garnishment for child support.

its (one) part of (one of) the great ol libertarian to fascist pipeline(s) step one: ABSOLUTE NO! to any social program to pull people out of incredibly desperate situations that are enormously damaging to the community health of a region. NO safety net. NO free treatment for anything. Just the FREE MARKETS. step two: social and socioeconomic conditions in the areas where you choose to live disintegrate due to crippling poverty and horrendous, corporation-fuled drug addictions changing your home into a visibly dirty, visibly unsafe location overrun with tweakers and parts thieves step three: the libertarian awakens to a sudden call within them for the government to absolutely go turbostatist on the Undesirable Elements, for the good of society step four: (optional) as social and economic malaise increase, they sink below the waterline into the desperate conditions of the Undesirable Elements and taste the boot

Panfilo posted:Libertarians are great at making other libertarians angry Just a reminder that it seems very difficult to get a consensus about trans people in the American Libertarian Party due to the profound political diversity therein. On one side, you have transphobic conservatives who veil their blatant bigotry against trans people "as reserving their rights to free speech," which essentially encompasses misgendering and harassing suicidal adolescent minorities to soothe their own insecurities surrounding their failing marriage and fragile masculinity. I also find it quite comical how these same people always absent-mindedly resort to the overdone "facts don't care about your feelings" retort, even though they instantly get red-faced and teary-eyed if you even have the mere audacity to question the legitimacy of the Bible as a legal code despite it repeatedly contradicting modern scientific theory through disproven ideas such as Flat Earth and Geocentrism. On the other hand, you have left-leaning libertarians who believe the government cannot morally deprive trans people of their constitutional rights, such as entering public spaces (e.g., bathrooms), accessing medication (e.g., estrogen, testosterone), or becoming a parent (forbidding adoption). Hence, unlike their conservative counterparts, liberal libertarians acknowledge that passing legislation that (for all intents and purposes) intrudes on a trans person's right to live as they choose defies the basic principle of self-ownership and is, therefore, an intrinsically authoritarian act.

She also cares about the environment. She was willing to give up a national academic prize to call out a congressman taking corporate kickbacks from logging companies. And she's a girl, not that they can't become libertarians but it's a lot less common because of you know all the misogyny. And she's pretty feminist.

Lisa's presence in the meme is rather irrelevant, it's just a backdrop for people thinking they are saying something witty or insightful. Libertarians thinking that refusing to pay taxes will somehow be more effective than their current protest is laughably stupid. But it also shows how desperately they want to be on the side of the plucky rebel, if only they had the nerve to stand among the others who were getting beaten/teargassed/firehosed for their convictions. Tim Pool had a segment about Palestine, and the consensus seemed to be "they need to get over it". I just can't help imagine them having to swallow the same flavor of diarrhea when they are waving their Gadsten flags around. Remember, these are the morons who claimed the lock downs were their 9/11.
