Actually, both scenarios you mentioned are highly plausible, and scenarios similar to your "statist apocalypse" have happened multiple times. In fact, by portraying anyone who points out the dangers of your system as crazy, you're using one of the primary tactics of the statists.

@Pericles461

I think you completely missed the point, which is baffling, because the point is pretty obvious.

[Pericles461]

@LibertyIsNotGiven I'm not sure what you're referring to. Your main point seems to be that scenarios involving a failure in an anarchist system aren't legitimate. All I'm saying is that you need to address perfectly plausible scenarios which could occur under such a system and explain how you'd avoid them.

The burden of proof is also on statists to explain how we are to avoid a slide into fascism, which is the direction we're going.

"Your main point seems to be that scenarios involving a failure in an anarchist system aren't legitimate."

No, that isn't the point, nor is the point in this particular video to address each and every possible scenario. I've done that before, in many other videos.

See, this is why most of those videos have been removed and why I generally eschew political discourse on YouTube these days. People don't listen. I can't say why that's the case, but they don't.

I was unaware qtronman was an advocate of statism.

I'm not sure how one might honestly reach any other conclusion, though I grant he's a minimal statist in many respects.

No just vote for the smooth sounding puppet and everything will be super good then.

That is a great piece of writing I am checking out his blog.

Heh, slaves make me laugh, crying about the US Corporate flag.

@ashleypoo1319 I'm not sure how else to describe environmentalist predictions of the polar ice caps melting, the sea rising up and flooding the world, and massive storms throughout the whole process. Seriously, that would wake a good end of the world movie, but I'd hardly call it reliable science.

Weren't the "scientists" behind this scam busted a year ago? People are still trying to ignore the Climategate E-mails, but the fact is, they show that their studies were deliberately rigged.

@Pericles461 I assume you are talking about climate change, although i've never heard it referred to as an apocalypse before. It's not the government teaching these kids that climate change is real, it's the scientists. You know, those people actually qualified to tell you about it, not pundits or supposed scientists hired by Exxon. When the vast majority of scientists turn against climate change, maybe i'll actually worry about it being taught.

[Pericles461]

@LibertyIsNotGiven So what is your main point supposed to be?

[Pericles461]

@ashleypoo1319 You need to research education in ancient Athens. They made some of the greatest advances ever in science and philosophy in a system in which the government played absolutely no role in schooling.

At by the way, what about the government teaching kids that we're on the verge of apocalypse thanks to adding microscopic amounts of carbon (Which we breathe out) to the atmosphere.

[ashleypoo1319]

I love when people whip out the ol ' oh nos public schools destroyin yer kids' crap. Yes, let's go back to the days when we taught kids whatever the hell we wanted, which usually meant the world was flat and evolution was satan's lie
