Rule of being a free speech absolutist

Yeah, my point exactly

"screw you, you were camping and I should have won that, cheater [long rant of slurs]" "Yeah well I bet you're a cisgender. Cis. I bet you're cis" "...what?"

You're right to be confused, Elon's post is very silly on many levels, one of which being that considering a word to be mean doesn't make it a slur.

It can't and that's the joke here

Kids on xbox live are known to throw around slurs to win arguments, especially in cod. Sorry to have confused ya

I can't imagine what he did for that to happen. I've seen similar stories of kids disownning their billionare parents in countries where spousal abuse, demostic violenc, violence against kids and pologomy are allowed. but I never thought US laws allow you to be that shitty.

HE is free to say and do whatever he wants, he owns the platform.

He literally made it so his posts appear before others because he was getting less likes than other people.

You on the other hand? You better say what musky boy likes.

Selfish idiots who want to earn all advantages of society but don't want to contribute anything. (Like Musk, who was a subsidy queen for years, but has suddenly discovered his love for a minimal state, or David Sacks, also a big fan of libertarianism, except when in dire need for a bailout from Silicon Valley Bank)

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.

Libertarianism upholds whatever the current power structure is and offers no redress for those with less power. Free market libertarianism is just unchecked capitalism.

Have a look at the reading list for right libertarians at "The Political Compass" https://www.politicalcompass.org/libRightBooks and you will be be to come to your own view. You might want to take the Political Compass test.

I found this article on what happened when a town became a Libertarian experiment interesting - https://newrepublic.com/article/159662/libertarian-walks-into-bear-book-review-free-town-project

People on these forums yearn to be subjects and cannot understand the desire to be left alone. Especially when it comes to topics that could not matter less.

Likely because they have the intellectual capacity of a child and thus need to be told what to do.

And also is completely accurate. Mainstream media, mainstream politicians and others who are members of the big club want you to think that only Eastern Europe and parts of Asia (not the parts they have lucrative business with) are mostly controlled by a few rich people.

The reality is that the US has more than a third of the world's billionaires in spite of having only 5% of the population and those billionaires and the rest of the. 1% ABSOLUTELY are oligarchs that control the country much more than any elected officials.

I think the free speech absolutist is full of bullshit, and there has to be ways to troll him, like redditors did with spez.

Quite the opposite but ok
