Republicans are 100% better at social media and running their own media. Fox News is a genius concept that liberals still have yet to copy effectively despite being around for… two decades?

Because that doesn’t work with democrats. You’re missing something – conservatives literally have different brains than us. They’re driven by stories and images of fear. Trump just sounds like a hateful moron to me, there’s nothing he does better than Biden. His “style” just appeals more to people who have a very different brain than mine.

I’m a “follower” of the Austrian School of Economics

Okay, so you admit you have no idea how economics work. That’s really cool you’re part of an economics fanfic club though.

In fact, monopolies can only survive through government-grant privileges

This is just false. You dont understand economics at all if you dont understand how all free markets naturally devolve into monopolies. Yes, governments can also grant monopolies by force, but without antitrust laws literally every market becomes a monopoly.

The only difference is that, in a free-market setting, they wouldn’t have any monopolical privileges

You cant have a free market without a government enforcing anti monopoly laws.

It’s the same thing as trump in the US, they just say things angry people want to hear, and they get elected and end up being the selfserving lying pieces of shit they always were. The difference in Argentina is all the choices are lying pieces of shit. Yeah Milei sucks but so does Kirchner and Fernandez.

Why would you trust an oligarchy of politicians (the State) to decide which goods are useful “for a community” and which don’t?

Because we voted for them. We didn’t vote for the board of directors of private companies. There’s plenty of waste and corruption in private enterprise. It’s not voluntary if they lie cheat and steal just like bad politicians.

The problem is when crooks privatize these things they steal billions of dollars worth of taxpayer money. Yes Argentina is messed up, but it’s because of corruption. Privatization or socialization, both will fail because of corruption.

Like, private school or public school, they both fail if the principal is stealing money, this isn’t a leftist/rightist issue.

First of all, I fucking love milk, you do not fucking know me.

Second of all, you really want to get in a battle of links?? https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/dairy-health-food-or-health-risk-2019012515849

and if they don’t buy the dairy farmers get their subsidy anyway. like yeah i can make myself poorer buying unsubsidized milk, but kinda sucks you’re putting the problem on me.

it’s just a century long marketing scam that is now so big it would cause an economic recession to dismantle it over night. It will take a few decades for the subsidies to be lowered, and probably will never go to zero.

also, milk is just bad for most people. some people need the high fat and protein content, but most of us, including children, would be much better off not drinking milk at all.

I just do whatever’s easiest – just signing up for some of these services takes way too long to watch one 2 hour program. The money’s not an issue at all in my mind, im happy to pay $70 for baldurs gate 3 with a dedicated download server and installation package. But im not willing to spend half an hour downloading and installing some streaming service.

Sounds like a comment about a problem you dont have XD

It’s also illegal to speed but 95% of drivers are actively speeding at any time. It’s so dumb, they act like they give a shit about laws and then cnn or some other garbage institution takes them seriously.

Yes euthanasia is very logical, but allowing people to kill themselves in a moment of desperation is not. Sure, if there’s an argument that perpetual depression is a good reason for euthanasia, i buy that.

But letting someone kill themselves because they got really drunk and really sad one night, for example is not “respecting self autonomy.”

Idk what world you live in, but i say no all the time to people and i stop them from doing whatever they want to me all the time without resorting to violence, havent resorted to violence at all since i was teenager. If the cops want to arrest me, a gun won’t stop them either.

If they sucked dick instead of going to war, there’d be nothing wrong with that and the whole world would be much better off

On average sure, but putin probably has more than 3.5% subverting democracy for him, it’s not so simple for the people.

Yes we have self ownership but i would also want my family and friends to stop me if i got irrational for a moment and tried to burn down my house. I do believe we should have a right to euthanasia but if im not terminally ill i absolutely want my family to stop my from committing suicide in a moment of desperation.

It comes down whether you find that having a gun is a fundamental right or something. I just don’t think it is. Yes, it’s a perfectly acceptable cost for a random acquaintance to make a fake complaint and get my gun taken. It would be only a mild inconvenience to have my gun taken away even permanently. I do like going to the range and shooting, it’s a fun sport for sure, but it’s not my identity.
