You choose what instance you are on. Quit the pseudointellectual whining.
  • You're the one who ridiculed someone for "believ[ing] Canada has anything resembling free speech?"

    You're the one making stupid assessment, why would I be the one providing proof?

    It's always the same with you people lol

  • Rule of being a free speech absolutist
  • It sounds absolutely great in theory, but in practice it could never work.

    Say I want to build a house: As a society, we've come up with mandatory building codes that tell me how to build a house that's going to be safe for everyone.

    Suppose we got rid of this regulation for libertarianism's sake.

    Most people would still build to code because that's just the smart thing to do but a small proportion of people would build it the cheapest way possible because it is now their god-given right to do so.

    When that house inevitably fails at the worst possible time, I don't care too much about what happens to the guy himself. He understood the risk and did it anyways. But in a worst case scenario, he could've been hosting a kids party that day or something.

    Now apply this analogy to.. Basically any regulation you'd want to get rid of.

    It's kind of always a balancing act between stopping people from killing each other from sheer stupidity, and letting them do and say whatever the fuck they want when they're between their own four walls, and pure libertarianism doesn't allow for that.

  • Riots in France caused by police shooting 17-year-old: 40,000 officers will be deployed; 180 people arrested around the country, 170 officers have been injured
  • Nah what I'm saying is that most states' taxation rates are pretty close to what you'd get in other developed countries.

    Except pretty much every other developed country has cheap healthcare and education. The US is truly alone in this, and it shows, because the US also has some of the worst inequalities of the modern world.

  • I mean, when you consider the US government spends more (almost twice as much) on healthcare per capita than most countries with free healthcare, you're literally paying more taxes for it AND you have to shell out 50k$ when something bad happens.

    Your only argument is "Taxes bad" even when we're talking about a system that would actually cost less taxes, just because it has a side effect of also helping less fortunate people.

    How much more egocentric can you get lmao

  • Microsoft CEO Says He Would "Love" To Get Rid Of Xbox Exclusives But Can't Because Of Sony | GameSpot
  • At this point, Microsoft has become a pretty big publisher, moreso than a console manufacturer.

    Of course they would like exclusives to go away, that means selling their own games to more people, and distributing Sony's games on their platforms.

    Both combined would easily make them more money than selling consoles.
