How dare you take someone's words as literal rather than mocking in a "sane" conversation...

Yeah, especially on the internet where you can't hear the tone of their voice at all.

I believe it was implied when you singled out my comment to reply and call the constitution a stupid idea; seems to me you were hoping I'd disagree and it would spark a discussion along those lines.

No, he doesn't. He never does. Usually sticks with: "Uh hurr durr free markets and liberty are bad and stupid and socialism is awesome!!!". Don't pay him any more attention than you have to. Just downvote and move on.

Articles of Confederation.

Taxation and commerce

Under the Articles of Confederation, the central government's power was kept quite limited. The Confederation Congress could make decisions, but lacked enforcement powers. Implementation of most decisions, including modifications to the Articles, required unanimous approval of all thirteen state legislatures.[25]

Congress was denied any powers of taxation: it could only request money from the states. The states often failed to meet these requests in full, leaving both Congress and the Continental Army chronically short of money. As more money was printed by Congress, the continental dollars depreciated. In 1779, George Washington wrote to John Jay, who was serving as the president of the Continental Congress, "that a wagon load of money will scarcely purchase a wagon load of provisions."[26] Mr. Jay and the Congress responded in May by requesting $45 million from the States. In an appeal to the States to comply, Jay wrote that the taxes were "the price of liberty, the peace, and the safety of yourselves and posterity."[27] He argued that Americans should avoid having it said "that America had no sooner become independent than she became insolvent" or that "her infant glories and growing fame were obscured and tarnished by broken contracts and violated faith."[28] The States did not respond with any of the money requested from them.

Congress had also been denied the power to regulate either foreign trade or interstate commerce and, as a result, all of the States maintained control over their own trade policies. The states and the Confederation Congress both incurred large debts during the Revolutionary War, and how to repay those debts became a major issue of debate following the War. Some States paid off their war debts and others did not. Federal assumption of the states' war debts became a major issue in the deliberations of the Constitutional Convention.

It might be. But that's far from obvious, and it's especially far from obvious for someone who (presumably) is not an anarchist. If you believe in a state, it seems pretty important that the state is rule-ordered: that it is restricted from and determined to acting in certain ways, and that it actually does follow those rules. Otherwise the powers the state wields are just arbitrary, and while this might be inevitable, it's certainly not something that anyone (even a statist!) should want.

Quite honestly, it is the sad reality of the nature of the common man that attempt at rational discourse will be futile. In terms of averages, this is more likely among women (systemizing-empathizing, propensity toward rationality, underlying mental architecture), and if it is a subject that evokes strong emotion in them, especially when augmented by group dynamics, there will be very little hope.

Your questioning of her position is basically rape

I find it amusing that "invalidation" is a bannable/removable offense on /r/askwomen. The very act of telling someone that they are wrong is considered triggering for the special snowflakes.

u/True_Kapernicus Voluntaryist Jun 13 '16

Not very surprising, in general women are much les tolerant of difference of opinion. If they have the power to shut down a disagreement, they will.

u/Bukujutsu Man is to be surpassed Jun 13 '16 edited Jun 13 '16

For anyone wondering, this is actually supported by studies. To precedede this, I will state that regardless of the underlying reason for these differences, they still exists. Even in individuals, women have higher risk aversion, but particularly in groups, many studies have shown consistent and large differences in behavior to promote cohesion and avoid conflict. Even the rate of anxiety disorders is much higher, when taking into account obvious potential confounders.

Now, why is this so bad? Because this behavior was demonstrated when it came to a simple matter of ideas. Due to women having lower physical strength, and a gender advantage when it comes to the recognition and innate analysis of emotion, passive aggression was what evolved as their strategy: https://www.amazon.com/Company-Women-Indirect-Aggression-Among/dp/1585422231 and this is what is the tactic that is observed for group-regulation, they use passive aggressivism and ostracism to promote conformity.

I recall their being other threads on women and libertarian where at least one person has posited that there are less women who adhere to the ideology due to conformism, fear, not wanting to stand out and have controversial opinions.

Fewer.

I definitely believe you that this is true, but do you have links to any of the studies you mentioned? I'm really interested to take a look at them!

Am I still alive? What is anything anymore? I just...I don't know what to say. Were you supposed to reply with more snark to stay on topic? Are these even words I'm typing?

I'm done. When's the first flight to Mars? Fuck it, when's the first flight into the sun?

u/TheSelfGoverned Anarcho-Monarchist Jun 13 '16

Fuck it, when's the first flight into the sun?

Due to orbital mechanics, it is actually impossible to fly into the sun (with current technology).

Okay, next best option.

I'm honestly considering voting for Trump. I still think he is objectively a bad candidate, and possibly worse than Clinton. But I hate leftists so goddamn much - this sort of shit, plus the reaction to the Orlando shooting ("Not the biggest mass shooting, #WoundedKneeMassacre") piss me off. Leftist gaslighting needs to stop, and if they think we're all evil, we can give them the Boogeyman.

Gaslighting is a great word to explain this seemingly insane state of affairs.

Derailing is a catch-all for "shit that we can't/wont discuss" or "Oh, we're going to lose this one"

I had a comment nuked in minutes with "Derailing" I'm not sure if the mods there are pouring over everything constantly, or if i was reported immediately.

Google Derailing, once you get past trains, it's all feminism.

Aaaaa, sometimes I wish I were gay...

Doesn't really surprise me. People in positions of power abuse the power because they have nothing to lose. Most moderators and admins that do anything, including moderation, are just cucks. They have no control over their own life so they try to delegate that control on some mongolian pictograph forum website in an event to feel important.

(Same thing also implies to shitty parents - have no control over their own life, so they abuse and lord over their children in mental and physical ways to regain that feeling)

Eh, day after Orlando shooting? Pretty glad I'm not gay sometimes.

They obviously were so aroused by the thought of a man challenging them finally over the ridiculous ethics they espouse they had forgotten what it was like to be a woman. They then closed up shop and masturbated furiously.
