One hour of logic and truth. My head does not hurt

[BlitheringGenius]

Morality is just an illusion created by living in a system that has coercive power over you: parents, teachers, police, etc. Eliminate coercion and you eliminate morality too. That is why anarchy is a utopian pipe-dream. Anarchism and socialism both fail because people are not intrinsically moral. People are selfish gene-copying machines. The initiation of force is rational whenever it serves your individual purpose.

[BlitheringGenius]

Clever. Did you think that up yourself, or did your mommy help you?

You're blithering but you're not a genius.

Very well said!

First 2 minutes he starts talking "end of history" concept, like Libertarianism is some end result humans are driving towards. He is a Utopian idealist. Marxism predicts the same thing with Communism being the final form of human social interactions. This man speaks well to be sure, but a silver tongue doesn't make your argument.

I would think that what you should be doing instead, is leaving to make your own nation.

[Bromzain]

Stefan, you made the analogy that if you disagree with the government and act on it, you're thrown in jail and if you resist, you're shot. Sure, but you're still allowed to disagree. You can leave the country, just like you can refuse to work for a given company, or refuse to buy a given product.

I don't say that out of spite or disagreement. I'm just pointing out that the entire idea behind true freedom already exists. You're free to leave the country you live in if you disagree with it.
