View quoted note → And to those who argue that it's not politically feasible for institutions—of any kind—to operate under such a protocol, I simply ask: then why the hell do we all despise the idea of a world government? Position of each state toward any other state/states is another often ignored example of #anarchy #grownostr

When people say #anarchy has never existed in human history, they often define it poorly. Anarchy is not a political system, a society, or a geographical entity—it’s a #protocol by which human beings interact without unjustified force. You should look for it everywhere, and you’ll easily find it! Just consider how music has evolved, how foods and recipes have been created, how mathematics has advanced through individual contributions, or even the history of #Bitcoin 's whitepaper. These are all examples of anarchy—voluntary, self-regulated, and decentralized coordination. Anarchy has existed in nearly everything we enjoy! #grownostr

View quoted note → Yet, in his great piece The Betrayal of the American Right, Rothbard goes beyond merely condemning U.S. foreign policy—he SOLELY blames the U.S. and even exonerates the Soviets for their crimes during the Cold War! And I'm like come on Murray, Be open minded but not so much that I quote from his book: "... the United States (with the aid of Britain) was solely responsible for the Cold War, in a continuing harassment and aggression against a Soviet Union whose foreign policy had been almost pathetic in its yearning for peace with the West at virtually any price." #grownostr #libertarianism #history #rothbard

View quoted note → And partly they’re right: Stillman’s argument for international hegemony and interventions has been to protect American businesses operating abroad. But one might ask, why not hire private armies to do that? It's not about defending a country's borders; it's about having the right to protect a business abroad. Private armies would likely have been more peace-driven, as they had no incentive to conquer for political reasons, and they would have been much more efficient.

#Mises despised the Nazis more than any other state, Ayn #Rand loathed the Russian commies the most, so I suppose it makes sense that #Rothbard and Rothbardians would blame the U.S. for nearly every major and minor international conflict throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.

Neither, from the market's point of view, Bitcoin is just an option on digital gold in a digital gold standard. thank God markets aren't efficient. View quoted note → #grownostr #bitcoin

I completely understand if an American says, "Fuck you, it's my money." I respect that, and honestly, I'd probably say the same under similar circumstances. What truly disgusts me, though, is seeing people bending over for that Russian son of a bitch. Have you ever stopped to think about what kind of animal you become when you support him? And please, stop with your stupid "I'm not supporting him, I'm supporting the U.S.A."—as if you couldn’t support your country without kissing the murderer’s ass. Screw whatever the Mises Institute says. Believe me, this war has nothing to do with NATO moving eastward. Was NATO moving eastward in Syria when Putin was bombing the shit out of children? Was he protecting them from NATO then? Putin has killed and destroyed more than Hitler ever could have if he had lived past 1945.

In a world that even its von #Hayek tries to justify legitimacy of taxation, how the fuck you think you can change everything with just discussion and #democracy? Nah, you need a weapon to scare the shit out of them when showing how stupid they were in their past. And I think here, y'all know what that weapon is my comrades. #Bitcoin #grownostr
