What makes it bad faith is that you made no attempt to respond to what Riskable said, and instead said something silly to try and steal a win in the convo.
If you agree police should exist, then you also agree that the government sets the rules about what they enforce. If someone paints my fence with some hyper toxic paint, then it should be illegal. Riskable was implying that businesses will reliably degrade quality and safety until the legal minimums and sometimes we need to put effort into regulating some basic standards.
Now, on the other hand, conservatives are usually INCREASING regulations that the police follow, doing the closest things to genital checks and hauling people away to prison for having a now illegal abortion as bad examples.
Conservatives say they want less regulation, when you guys are the ones in power maxing out regulations against existing in harmless ways… we just want toxic paint banned, or the real example… we don’t want a climate apocalypse, we want PFOA style chemicals banned and forced incineration of all odd chemicals, we want basic human and animal rights, we want the last ecosystems for natural non human life preserved… and conservatives just want the last checks and balances that protect us removed while adding ten times more regulation against people you hate and yourselves in the process.
I was trying to get an idea of their ideas. I asked a simple question and got a huge response that just veered wild. I apologized for them putting in that effort.
I’m not a conservative I just believe in individual rights. I mentioned it elsewhere, but there’s no coherent definition of conservative to be found. If you want to call a dude with pro-choice and trans stickers on his wallet conservative, you do you.
I’m going to let you in on a secret mr ancap. Ancaps, conservatives, fascists, libertarians and nazis are all the same group. None of those types have looked into their own views. They all have contradictory silly rhetoric which boils down to “I say whatever i think wins me the conversation, because my view is correct because it’s my view”
I’m an anarchist and am tired of ancaps pretending to be related to me by ideology. Oxymoronic
No syndicalist or mutualist would agree with the pro-capitalist groups views about capitalism, only destruction of hierarchies such as capitalism and the state. What you said is the bog standard “i have black friends, i cant be racist”. This is what i mean by pro-capitalist group people being the same and using language just to score points. You’ve still not refuted anything in any meaningful way.
As for your RA, if you really have it then i hope it gets better, which is kinda why I’m an anarchist. Clearly capitalism wont allow the state to funnel resources into research in any meaningful scale to actually cure disease and only at best offer temporary relief. I guarantee capitalists know the causes and triggers of disease and if they sell a temporary relief they would also be spending money on increasing sales of the causes of your suffering.
They come to some of the libertarian/ancap subreddits for more than just trolling. I’m not really a propertarian. I don’t believe In retributive justice. When it comes down to it, I’d choose to live in a leftist community. I help friends and family and strangers when I can and I believe we have an ethical obligation to do so. We should end corporate liability protections and destroy our corporate structures that make top heavy multinationals a thing, much less a profitable thing. Also, IP is theft.
I’m not willing to force you, or anyone else, to do what I want with violence and that’s why I’m an ancap, not a leftist.
It sounds like you really are against capitalism as we know it. Capitalisms main trait is that it’ll force any reformed system back into a capitalist ran false-democracy. We already have the libertarian/ancap system but with an illusory democracy and a barely meaningful state. You could say as the system gets worse, we get closer to a true ancap/libertarian system. If you think things are getting worse as capitalists weaken the government, then you disagree with ancap ideology.
Liberal ideology is about reforming capitalist systems so that they don’t end up controlling the government and ruining the ecosystems. Socialist ideology is about democracy in the workplace, which i think would correct many problems and reduce dependence on NEEDING govt regulation as the workers would rarely vote to pollute their own community.
I don’t really know why you call yourself an ancap. The freedom parts of ancap ideology are stolen by the capitalist part, which is why anarchists like myself reject capitalism as mutually exclusive with any form of freedom at the individual level. Remember that standard capitalism is about totalitarian work structures, literal wage-slavery.
I think your views on this subject are good, but the ideology you call yourself by doesn’t match most of your actual views.
And without a doubt, IP law is some of the most fucked up law to exist. ugh
What a completely dishonest and bad faith response.
Just being reductionist doesn’t make it bad faith. I do appreciate your response and I’m sorry I just wasn’t into digging into weeds of justification.
It doesn’t really do any good to go back and forth and call our views when we have wild deviations at a very basic level.

That’s too bad. I tend to get on well with syndicalists and mutualists.
Sorry for the late and lackluster reply. My wrists feel like they have axes wedged through them. Hooray for RA.
