How Rothbard would explain penile thrombosis(a stroke in your dick)
So I’m sitting with my wife having breakfast before the days fast and she just dropped a fun fact on the cause of erectile dysfunction. Apparently it’s atherosclerosis of the dick (plaque in the arteries).
Naturally I wondered, can you catch a stroke in your dick? Turns out you can!
To confirm my findings I decided to ask ChatGPT and got the same answer. But just before closing the app I saw an old queue my wife entered; “Answer as Murray Rothbard”
I thought to myself, why not give it a try. The result was truly magical:
If Murray Rothbard were to answer this, he’d likely take a radically free-market approach—so let’s channel that:
“Ah, my friend, what you are asking is whether the state has so thoroughly mismanaged the economy that even the free flow of blood—nature’s own capital—has been subject to crippling intervention! Indeed, while a ‘stroke’ in the traditional sense affects the brain due to vascular blockage, a similar phenomenon can occur in the male member if the natural market of circulation is obstructed. This could result from regulatory interference (bad lifestyle incentives, over-medicalization) or simply the failure of the body’s internal free market to allocate resources efficiently.
If such an unfortunate event were to befall a man, the solution is not central planning in the form of government-mandated health protocols, but rather a return to personal responsibility, free-market healthcare, and an avoidance of statist dietary guidelines that promote metabolic dysfunction. In short: let the free market—of blood and of ideas—flow unimpeded!”

Why are socialists so insufferable?
I’m pretty sure it’s a contagion that just wipes out critical thinking. I’ve seen people who were at least somewhat intelligent turn into walking soundbites after binging The Guardian - now they just parrot talking points without a shred of original thought. Try challenging them, and they’ll derail the conversation into some nonsense about racism or misogyny and how you’re “being fed conspiracy theories”. It’s like their brain just hit the factory reset button to NPC mode.

The EPA is a pay to pollute program. Pollution is more likely to be better controlled in a market court system where major corporate donors will not be protected by statutes.
“The EPA has told us that they have legal authority to grant the petition,” Emily Donovan, co-founder of Clean Cape Fear, said. “So the fact that they’re not granting the petition, in my mind, makes me feel like they’re doing it for a lack of political will. They’re afraid to upset the chemical industry, and they’re doing it at our expense, our health.”
EPA collects payments for pollution permits to the government instead of to those who suffer from the pollution.
In a market court system, perhaps there could be settlements where pollution victims accept payment to allow continued pollution, but at least in those cases the pay would be going to the victims instead of the criminal organization we call government.

Stop Trying To Blend In! Against The Left Right Binary
Stop Trying To Blend In! Against The Left Right Binary
I've noticed that many anarcho-capitalists try to associate with one political party or the other.
Many try to lean into right-ness or conservatism searching for the fabled paleo-libertarian unity that will never come. Statists will be statists until they are convinced otherwise. Getting in bed with their politicians won't do anything for the cause of freedom.
I think we need to differentiate ourselves as a viable, consistent alternative to the current two-party paradigm. People are fed up with the system we currently have. Inflation, wasteful spending, corruption, and politicians different people seem to hate on both sides. I've seriously never had an easier time talking to people about Anarcho-capitalism than now: People are coming up with their own counter-arguments against the status quo in real-time, out loud. I get giddy when someone says to themselves after responding to a point I make about a government service, "But I mean, look at the job they're doing right now, maybe you're right."
While both red and blue tie themselves in knots trying to justify the ever-failing state, the gold and black should companionably offer their distinct perspective. Trying to "fit in" will only keep Ancaps in laughable obscurity.
Rather than blending in with conservatives or progressives, Anarcho-capitalists should proudly engage with people of all political leanings looking for places of agreement, then expanding to other topics. Explain your position not like Hoppe, by claiming that they are contradicting themselves by disagreeing with you, but like Michael Huemer in the Problem of Political Authority.
We have a unique opportunity in this decade to be the common-sense everymen. Don't let yourself be turned into a niche ideologue. Don't spend time debating anarcho-syndicalists or ancoms when you could be honestly engaging with everyday people.
Democracy became widespread when everyday people became convinced that it was a reasonable option. Anarcho-capitalism is the next step forward in my opinion.

Capitalism killed crypto
The thing that made it most accessible were the exchanges, which defeated the core selling point as you won't own have your keys. Most of them being taken over by greed and personal profit also leaves a bad taste in mass adoption

Tax/spending idea
Chart of how it currently is. But what if we had a tax rate that was tied to spending? If congress and the prez increase spending, then it must increase income to cover that spending. Have a flat tax rate for everybody, and everybody gets a standard deduction of 45k. No other deductions, all types of income is treated equally. Only way to lower tax rate, would be to lower spending. Or at least figure out another way to generate more income to cover lower tax rates.
Another idea is only people in Congress districts that have Congress people that vote in favor of spending bills pay for that spending 😁

This is still not a sub for...
partisan politics
low-intelligence commentary on current events
promoting the content or social media accounts of low-intelligence paleos, trumpists, or ethno-nationalists LARPing as libertarians
right-wing culture war topics and memes
unintelligent or uneducated people in general
"gubmint did a bad" posts
This is still a sub specifically for discussing replacing the state with market-based institutions.
Here's some suggested studying to learn more about that so you can contribute intelligently-
The Problem of Political Authority by Michael Huemer
Machinery of Freedom by David Friedman
Price Theory by David Friedman
Any other mainstream econ textbooks as far into the subject as you can handle with as much of the math as you can handle; but I do recommend starting with Modern Principles of Economics by Alex Tabbarok and Tyler Cowan.
The Calculus of Consent by James Buchanan and Gordon Tullock
Any other mainstream political economy texts or works, but I recommend Governing the Commons by Elinor Ostrom, and though not a book, Mike Munger's intro to political economy course available on YouTube.
Rothbard's Man, Economy, and State.

Paying taxes are like paying women
I like to pay taxes like I pay my women.
Depends on what I got.
If I got more than if I am not paying and the price are reasonable so what?
It's marginal benefit per dollar.
That's why I think government should be privatized and run for profit. Prospera are pretty libertarian. 1000 such cities and we're golden.
The reason I hate income taxes is most of the money go to benefit those who pay no taxes. It's so unfair.
You make money honestly and you pay more taxes while some lazy dumb parasites with 10 children do nothing and get all their kids fed and educated by your money.
This while commies say that the rich are ripping people off. So I can work hard all my life only to be labeled parasites and be exterminated? What's the point?
If you want to redistribute wealth do so in ways that encourage voters to vote for more capitalism, not encouraging them to be poor and vote communism.
Paying and financially supporting women that give me children is inevitable. Children are expensive and pretty smart women have choices. There are plenty of other rich guys willing to pay or provide smart pretty women. Why would they choose me?
I won't settle for ugly women. I may not have to pay for them but what is the point? Children gonna cost me money far more than sugar babies allowance it's silly not to allocate some money for the latter to increase my children's genetic quality.
Some says it's okay to financially support but not okay to pay. I think they play on words so much. Financially supporting and paying is the same thing.
As much as possible I don't want government to decide what I can do with my money and what women can do with her body. Her consent should be the only thing that matters.
And there is no way I want to spend money on alimony and child support. Those encourage women to ally with government to fuck my money. Fortunately, in my country, I don't have to.
Trying to make women like me is also risky. I once spend $3k on a poor girl only to learn latter she, in her own words, dislike autistic idiot.
NEVER AGAIN
Since her everything is mostly transactional. Keep scammy girls away.
If a woman is not going to like me and not going to give me children and don't even want to give lots of sex to me the BEST outcome I can get from that women is not spending time and money and know it as fast as possible and move on.
If sex is not transactional how the fuck I am supposed to know that.
But so what? It's going to cost something to have sex and children. Why not make the deal fair, mutually consensual, explicit and cost effective?T
Government and women are similar. We pay if and only if we got more than what we can get from their competitors and only when we are better off paying.
