Anarcho-capitalists - Free markets on steroids, Rothbardian lunacy, and other Ancapistan stupidity

When minorities use welfare, it's stealing and wrong. When anarcho-capitalists use welfare, they're just stealing BACK what the guvment stole from THEM! See? So it's all good!
 
Didn't really know where top put this. Since AnCaps don't have their own thread on here but they're kinda Alt-Right ish.

Listened to a kinda podcast about some people whom used to be big donors and members of forum boards behind price-walls on Freedomain Radios forum talking about meeting Stefan Molyneux and meeting him, and (assuming it's accurate) it's all very creepy and culty.


It's almost Scientology-esque. They having their own internal-language, "DeFOOing" which I gathered means disowning your family (FOO being "Family of Origin") which isn't a term (FOO) that they invented but you can tell with the way that they say it how familiar they are with it. Calling Stefan "Stef". Reminds me of listening to a podcast about Scientology where ex-members still just casually drop terms and refer to Hubbard as "LRH". It's just the ease at which they do it. Apparently they'd psycho-analyse each-other, pressure each-other into leaving their families or seeing abuse where it doesn't exist. I can see it personally, I've watched some of Molyneux's vidoes and the guy does seem like the type, very-arm chair psychology. Then again he does have the "World's largest Philosophy radio-show".

For bonus points the show itself is kinda lulzy. The host in some AnCap loser and the advertisements that come on are almost stereotypical. Trying to shill products so you can hide from the government and remain invisible and stuff. There's some great irony in listening to this guy call something else a cult whilst casually dropping pre-packaged buzzwords like "government-guns" (in reference to using Intellectual Property laws").

It's a great way to enjoy some of these people whilst still being entertained since the subject matter is actually interesting and not the usual bollocks they go on about.

I like how the anarchist dude in the first comic is super pissed because of... anarchy.

ANARCHY IZ BEST THANG EVAR as long as there are cops to keep criminals and vandals at bay, roads to travel on, mail service to deliver mail, an army to protect the country, courts to settle disputes, Federal Food and Drug Administration to keep chocolate free of toxic waste, Social Security to pay for MLP toys if your boss has fired you for painting the Anarchist logo on the company's front door, public hydropower dams to keep your PC electrified so you can carry on watching MLP, schools teaching you basic and even advanced skills such as spelling words like "anarchy" and "Celestia", etc...
 
Man anarchists are fucking hard to debate with, just finished talking to one on some messaging app and Jesus christ they can talk down a brick wall. Told me to check out some place called thefreedomonline.com or something and said a buncha shit about Sandy Hook being a false flag and that we should go to a private police system. I'd check that place for some lolmilk if I could but it's 2 am so fuck that shit. Goddamn I feel like precious time in my life was just stolen from me.
 
That's not an anarchist, that's a conspiracist, but yes they are totally immune to persuasion. So don't bother. I used to engage with them hoping they could be taught, but they just write you off as part of the conspiracy if you do anything but accept without question what they're saying.

The local pizza delivery dude is one.

Every time I see him he tells me to visit this website, or that website, or about some information he heard "They don't want YOU to know about!" and it's always the same stuff.... World's gonna end in a week from cosmic storms/meteorite impact/chemtrails/nuclear bombs/One World Government (tm) takeover and we can't trust the mainstream media.

Now, he never has any contingency plan in place, I mean, for a guy who knew the end was coming, why keep going to work? And peddling websites when ideally you should be asking for rations and stocking a bunker? And when his predictions fail to come true, why does he believe the next one surely will?

Because doom is what he lives for, all conspiracists live for it. They are actually hoping, one day, to be staring into a glowing cataclysmic light on the horizon. And as it draws nearer, and everyone around cowers in frozen shock, they'll say "SEE? I WAS RIGHT!" and in that nanosecond before all is reduced to ozone and memory, they'll finally get what they've wanted all their life and couldn't have: Vindication.

Well she identified as an anarchist, and wanted a system called volunteerism or some jazz like that, which sounded like anarchy with more words. Said it was better than the government who don't give a shit about the people and steal from them and other such nonsense like that.

On your last point I totally agree, they want to be right about it cause it makes the world more understandable to them. They want some big bad illuminati government that oppresses freedoms and engineer conspiracies. They want it black and white because they can't take the fact that some whackjob had it in him to kill some kids for no reason. By admitting that these random acts of depraved evil exist they acknowledge that the world is chaotic and random and they have no way to control it. Maybe putting on a tinfoil hat is how they cope with that.

The funny part is many of these people are poor themselves and lets see if a private police or fire department would really care about people who can't afford to pay the "insurance fees" and "security fees" that these private organizations would charge.

These morons don't know how that shit actually worked, and oh, actually, it didn't. There used to be a dozen different kinds of fire hose and connector and maybe you paid your insurance to the private fire company but your neighbor didn't so your house burned down too because they couldn't connect the fire hose.

Idiots.

Yup these morns call socialism evil yet just about everything they take for granted is because of their definition of socialism.

Oh I disagree with the idea they want vindication; I think it's a desperation that drives them instead. Basically the average conspiracy theorist just wants to both be able to lord over the sheep that they have unknown information and feel thrilled they're in on understanding what's going on.

As for AnCaps, well... they'd all be dead in their ideal society, which would be basically a slightly more dystopic Shadowrun.
 
I think many conspiracy theorists also have some kind of void in their life and have difficulty coping, so the conspiracy gives their lives meaning in some way or another; they need something to fight against, so it's the Illuminati. They're frustrated that something in their life hasn't gone as planned and rather than try to figure out what they did wrong, or even just accept that sometimes shit just doesn't work out and it's no necessarily anyone's fault, it's the Illuminati.

But also I agree with @Dr. Tran in that a lot of them are just unable to accept that bad things happen, and sometimes those bad things happen for no reason.

This could be a definition of lolcows: They live under the assumption that nothing which happens to them is ever their own fault.

When I went to community college there was an Illuminati lolcow there. He would babble nonstop about the Illuminati and reptilian shape shifters. When he wasn't babbling about the Illuminati he'd talk about how he has dreams about killing people in parking lots. Though I'm pretty sure he was a schizophrenic nutjob to be honest.
 
"Anarcho"-captialism isn't even real anarchism. It'd bring tyranny and injustice the likes of which have never been seen before. They hate "big gubbermint", but they want private corporations to do the exact same thing the government does now, except you'd have to pay for it.

But in any case, it's hilarious to see them try and interact with other anarchists, because no one likes them and they don't like most anarchists either. The one thing that the different strains of Anarcho-____ism can agree on is that Ancaps are fucking insane. (And that National Anarchists are insane, but that's a whole 'nother can of retarded worms)

Well, both of those options sound terrible.
