Genuinely curious as to what makes you say that. Care to elaborate?

Defining the very fundamental premise of a discussion may indeed be semantics, but it is vital nonetheless. I am willing to adapt my definition in the moment to better understand the views of others like you here. That is why I am asking. Nonetheless, you do have a right to not engage with me.

Interestingly enough, I agree with some of what you say, but for reasons you most likely disagree with. That being said, there should be a rather interesting watch on the topic that should give you a better view of both my position and why you are right in a manner: youtu.be/aDE1Yvzsdxs

Agreed. In all honesty, you have been the only person to engage in discussion in this thread from what I have seen. It was a pleasure conversing with you, and I wish you all that is best! That aside, if you find any good reading material on these topics, feel free to send them my way!

That matches up reasonably well with my observations in fact. I suspect this has to do with how the European system is built up with a backend free marked (albeit a rather regulated one) with a front-facing government monopoly, while the US is close to the exact opposite on this. Good take!

Please refer to this excellent piece of literature: www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/... But in all seriousness, I suspect that there is a discrepancy in the definition of "for profit" between me and a lot of others here. Can you give me the definition you go by when using that term?

My brother in christ, you are making a claim against monopolies, which everyone with a modicum of rationale agrees is bad in almost all possible cases. This can even be considered a point for my views on the subject, as it shows that regulatory oversight to this extent just destroys good outcomes.

Funded highly, highly inefficiently. Let us also not forget that a large proportion of those are simply private corporations funded by grants and loans by the government, which more often than not unfortunately ends up as a type of malinvestment due to how the government manages money.

So, the collapse of a malinvestment bubble which was formed by artificially low interest rates caused by a Keynesian mindset... is a proof against the very school of thought which predicts such collapse due to those exact reasons? Glad to hear that the system closely based on praxeology is a sham!

Have you ever heard of patent evergreening, pay-for-delay agreements, or market exclusivity periods beyond patents? Don't forget that the EU is much closer to a free market in drug production and the benefits trickle all the way down. Calling the US market "free" in all but name is questionable.

Is a charity taking donations at gunpoint for children with leukaemia morally justified? Is you not donating all your leftover money have to feed starving impoverished children then not an act of denying them the absolute human right to food, thus making you an objectively evil and immoral person?

Ver @verferas.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

Now, that is one of the reasons why gun rights are a fundamental basis for a moral society. Secondly, killing someone for a perceived wrongdoing when regulations are to blame instead isn't really sane, especially considering that this exact same logic can be used to kill anyone you disagree with.

On a side note, approving of the murder that Luigi committed is rather dubious. That CEO was not to blame for the bad situation per se, as there are a multitude of reasons forcing the situation. Primarily, forced profit of a company's shareholders and artificially inflated pricing due to IP rights.

Also, people dying is bad, but giving more money to the government is definitely not the right solution given that free market solutions have *always* surpassed government ones.

Are you aware of how intellectual property rights are abused to artificially increase prices? Are you aware that any welfare done by the state is usually 30%-50% efficient, while private sector solutions are 50%-80%? The only reason why things already are so bad *is* because government intervention.

I recommend you read up on praxeology and the Austrian school of economics and then take a look all of this again. Seriously. Also, a greater good argument is wholly irrelevant here as one increases suffering more than the other. Keep in mind that I am not defending the lifeline thing.

A lot of history was also attempted to be changed by democrats (i.e. calling J6 an insurrection when it was more akin to a childish temper tantrum by the protestors, worth looking into). No matter who does it, I dislike it.

The democrats have as of late shown horrid levels of economic illiteracy, which will negatively affect everybody involved excluding the wealthy surprisingly enough. The reduction of the queer movement however would be net positive when considering its statistics, though I disagree with their means.

Interestingly enough, I suspect Boelter recently became a left wing radical due to his association with No Kings, perceived portrayals of the democratic party from his list, and internships. He was a nut job for sure, but it is safer to assume this than to humour an elaborate framing of democrats.

A rare exception does not constitute a rule. With that being said, there was no reason for them to marry if they were not in love when you look at their past. This itself acts as evidence against your claims, which you make by using an ecologic fallacy (assuming your claims are even true).

So, a racist christian nationalist? That logically concludes that he is a white suprematist. Marring her wife is pretty reasonable evidence against such claims, especially considering that there is also reason to assume both love eachother when looking at facial expressions on several occasions.
