KNICKS

Wow this is easily the most legitimately excited I’ve been for any trek content the last ten years. I hope this is good.

Brother Vercel is about to can you for life.

My gut says pie fed, but I am very inactive these days and don’t know the good argument for it.

So if I have a dump, I just run it with this?

Howzat

This was so fast after that great Sixers round 1.

Definitely a take. What kind of burger is better?

Holy shit man. I am sorry for your pain. It’s definitely not your fault and insane that you could conceivably be put in a position to do that—and I’m sure no one would let that happen to you today in med school. Not your fault for the patient condition nor the condition that set you up to administer unsafe care.

It uses a phone number.

Oh man, fuck you.

Yeah if there is power, no contest. Especially in the southern USA where they sell guns and ammo. You could honestly last years there alone.

I think you misunderstand. The point is that everyone in the US knows exactly why “they hate us” — it is not a mystery to anyone. This is a straw man in the truest sense; you’d be hard pressed to find a US citizen who authentically poses this question.

A super majority of Americans are anti-Israel. This is a strawman that isn’t applicable anymore. Democrats are about to sweep in mid-terms as a consequence of this action + Gaza + ICE.

Indeed. Why hide it!

Now this is sick.

Great read!

This looks cool thanks for sharing.

The state meaning literally the conceptual apparatus or entity that has the legal monopoly to use force in a geographic area. The State can shoot you and not be subject to the same rules as if you shoot another person or agent of the state.

The most basic is example of commingling of the state and free enterprise is Regulatory Capture—a Wall Street corporation has ex-employees join the SEC, which in turn writes rules via the State to benefit that corporation asymmetrically. Because there’s a gun in the room, you’re basically one step removed from giving the corporation itself the legal right to use force.

The most egregious example is obviously the military industrial complex.

However, because in their heads most people will abstract away this notion, they will say things like, “we need to make corporate lobbying illegal,” or “we need to block corporations from donating to political campaigns.” The reality is that the revolving door of regulatory capture trumps all that. If the state exists to write rules, free enterprise will capture it because it has to capture it in order to survive.

The actual problem, from an anarchist-anarcho capitalist sense, is that capitalism is morally incompatible with the state or a government conceptually, because given the nature of capitalism—and moreover people in general—free enterprise will also take hold of this all powerful monopoly that is the state, and then pervert it to its own ends.

Hence, crony capitalism.

Arguably, whether capitalism or socialism, when combined with a State, both break down rapidly.
