The head-slapping part of this is that it assumes that the difficult part about running a government is all the gosh-darned records processing, and not the bit about maintaining the consent of the governed.

States don’t fail because they can’t process paperwork efficiently enough, they fail because the people decide that an alternative offering is more compelling.

(or more uncharitably: this is the most ignorant post X has ever made, and will remain so until X posts again).

Oh, Eliezer, honey kun,

Culture is a wave, government is a wave, nations are a wave, and they’re all a web.

Libertarianism is not the default policy position into which society falls if it isn’t interrupted.  Democracy is not the default policy position into which society falls if it isn’t interrupted.  

They are both high-level ideological constructs that require constant reinforcement and social, cultural, and material support to maintain.

Demand unsustainable wages, get replaced. Pretty fucking simple. 

[cottoncatking]

Lose out on work experience early in life, get penalized for it later, lose opportunities to help the family out, get a degree, go into debt, struggle to find a job that pays decently. But Wall Street is happy so that’s good.

>Get paid minimum wage

>Minimum wage never increases

>Lose job to machine anyway

In which it is impossible that increasing automation across all sectors simultaneously which arrives at a speed exceeding would-be employee retraining could cause significant unemployment and downward pressure on wages below the levels necessary for long-term wellness.

But don’t worry, Libertarians’ anti-nationalist sentiment means that they’ll bring in ethnic groups that favor increased state intervention (on average), because Libertarianism assumes the political will necessary for itself.  The alternative, after all, would involve buying off low income voter groups in clever ways so that they are supported by the nation and support the nation in turn.

oh that was a reference to the complaint from the person you just reblogged but I approve of the fact that you interpreted it as self-referential anyway due to the strength of your Slutty Anime Girl brand

ranma-official answered:

I’m fully committed to strengthening my Brand as being an incoherent jumble of embarrassed big tiddy anime girls and bugfuck insane policy suggestions with a side of telling evil people they’re evil

Sadly, Tumblr user Ranma-Official would later become known for a series of effortposts on the breeding habits and care of Axolotl, eventually resulting in a position as a marine biologist at an aquarium in Acapulco, Mexico.

ANOTHER person got fucking obliterated by margin trading, but this time on COINBASE over the same flash crash

So the ether whales, in triggering a flash crash, fucking murdered two morons who LOST EVERYTHING in their amateur trading habits

POWERUPDATE:

THESE TWO WERE PART OF 800 (maybe more) RICH, BLUE WHALE INVESTORS WHO GOT FUCKING OBLITERATED WHEN SOMEFUCK WITH FAT FINGERS ACCIDENTALLY SOLD DOWN $3 MILLION OF ETHEREUM, TRIGGERING A CASCADE OF AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY STOCK DUMPS, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO TEN CENTS PER ETHEREUM

https://blog.gdax.com/eth-usd-trading-update-5d8142b5bdc1

LITERALLY CRYPTOCURRENCY HISTORY ON PAR WITH THE HACKING OF MT. GOX

imagine you have 1000 ETH, that’s roughly $320,000

imagine if your stop loss was triggered during this cascade and thus sold ALL OF THAT at ten cents each while you were away

That $320,000 worth of ethereum just sold for $100

5 minutes later, the price is back to $300 and your $100 of ethereum can only buy you back one third of an ethereum.

Right then, let’s see what’s in this box you’ve brought us, my dear Anon-kun.

Hmn, yes, this is a good find.  Go now, and be proud of yourself, my little grey sphere friend.

I, for one, would welcome Australia being ruled by an Asian lesbian cyborg.

well, we came close.

[mitigatedchaos]

For those wondering what this is about.

[Oceans Yet to Burn]

America has Donald Trump, Britain has Nigel Farage, and Australia has the one and only Pauline Hanson, a fiery redhead who rose to prominence in politics twenty years ago (back when a very different Hanson sung MMMbop).

She gave fiery diatribes about deporting all the Asians and dodged accusations of xenophobia by honestly not knowing the meaning of the word, all until she was voted out and briefly jailed for fraud.

Now she’s back! And she… hasn’t changed a bit actually, except the Chinese community can breathe easily knowing the Muslims are going to be taking the bulk of her attention for the time being.

Of all the media franchises we had to reboot in 2k16, why this one.

[argumate]

and now she’s after autistic kids because hey why not.

[mitigatedchaos]

I, for one, would welcome Australia being ruled by an Asian lesbian cyborg.

Though admittedly that isn’t a very controversial opinion on Tumblr.

Please remind me to not give @mitigatedchaos any formal power if I ever become King of The World or something. Maybe I can bestow a purely ceremonial title like First Lady of The Republic of Cascadia or Vice Antipope. Grand Ideas should be kept in their ivory towers where they belong.
