i agree with you..

i love your work but BE HUMAN!

@oldwisetale "i love your work but [change it in an ambiguously specified way]"

No, sorry.

I prefer when you used to make non-religious videos. Your fascination with the anarcho-capitalism religion is lowering the quality of your channel.

[bitbutter]

@h8uall66 You told me that already. I know, but I don't care. Advice: Unsubscribe if you think it'd improve your life.

@bitbutter

I'll probably do that. It's heart-breaking to see someone so intelligent fall for a silly fad. Maybe one day you'll become skeptical again. Let me know when you do.

@h8uall66 I won't miss your condescension, bye.

@h8uall66 Atheism is to religion as anarcho-capitalism is to government. This is two fold in that both religion and government are irrational, and for the most part rely on the indoctrination of the young, and that both atheism and anarcho-capitalism are just rejections of current ideas.

@Timb0NZ Trust me, there are plenty of ppl into guns etc. If there was no State, I would be buying a F-15 lol. You could imagine Aero clubs buying fighter planes, off roader people buying tanks, gun clubs buying military arms. A Stateless society will not be short on arms. If there is a market for defense, competing providers will arise. There is no mystique for military services. It is true that Governments have had the monopoly, that doesn't mean the private market can't do the same.

@Timb0NZ Like joining the automobile association. Free tow's if i break down. But if not a member, just have to pay for tow trucks as they are needed.

[Timb0NZ]

Should be done via insurance. Insurance payers gets to be first in line for protection, evacuations etc(should that be needed). Free loaders are not relevant, they are just benefiting from the invisible hand. If a foreign state invades. I imagine the best way to deal with that is to hire mercenaries/ PMC's to enter invading country and assassinate the leadership. There is no need for conventional war. Competing insurance companies can also hire PMC's for guerrilla warfare at best.

1.) Let the army roll into the stateless society.

2.) Give the soldiers free hookers and weed.

3.) Soldiers suddenly don't care anymore.

4.) War over.

I think the most immediate benefit to stateless military is an end to taking an absolutist approach to defense in which we try and look for reasons to use the military we have for reasons that have little to do with defense. By this I mean that people would take a less destructive approach to solving conflicts if the costs came directly out of their own pockets.
