Thanks for that, appreciate your response. Frankly the question came to mind just after talking to a mate, he wants to do some renovations but as the house is full of asbestos he has been pretty much bound and gagged by kilometres of red tape

i understand that you’re an anarchist and not a full blown libertarian now but i would assume you’d still heavily identify and relate to large parts of libertarianism

so here’s my question; how does it make you feel that especially in the west many prominent libertarians and self identified libertarians or free speech advocates or small government advocates nowadays don’t actually stand for those things when they’re put under scrutiny, and really most of them are just neocons who want to say the n word and not get harangued for doing it

To be fair to zorax and his **** trolling there, some anarchists oppose all heirarchy. I'm regularly told that I'm "not a real anarchist" by such people, but I don't really care what label you give me. If I'm not a real anarchist that's fine -- I still think everything I believe is internally consistent regardless of what it's called. I think voluntaryist fits me best but it's a also a crap inside baseball term so I used anarchist there.

I'm still absolutely a libertarian ftr; I've just followed it to what I think is its natural conclusion. There are lots of anarchists in the 'libertarian movement' for lack of a better phrase and we mostly get along fine with the non-anarchists.

As for the question:

Cribbage, now that Dave Smith is a Christian Conservative, do you accept that is the only acceptable path?

And second question, do you find in-jokes annoying, especially when they're dated and not that funny anyway?

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but what is the Cribbertopia way of dealing with a pandemic? Plow on and let survival of the fittest decide things?

Presumably it would be that a society can still be a society without an overarching state that needs to use force, so you would see voluntary quarantines without force, private testing and treatment and allocation of resources etc etc.

I personally don't see how you can make any of that work without some level of centralised distribution and coercive restrictions on movement and free association and what have you. Maybe it's not ~the state~ imposing such restrictions and maybe the levers aren't at gunpoint, but it's not like guns are the literally only way the state imposes laws anyway and at that point I start to question what exactly delineates ~the state~ from not ~the state~. But it's not my thread so

Not my thread either and obvs I don't agree with it, but it's a categorical philosophy. If it produces bad outcomes then it produces bad outcomes - that doesn't make it OK to use violence to try to engineer different outcomes.
