PT has a number of good articles but this one seems to convey it rather well

Cornell even has a description of it having naturally evolved as the preferable strategy in their description

because the outcome is the same

that a lack of government does not equal an increase in freedom, instead it just allows those with power to exert it more directly upon the less well off.

tit-for-tat works in a larger setting as well, in fact it works better because you can ostracize and punish.

you know, like WHAT IS LITERALLY HAPPENING AS WE SPEAK!? do you think greed-flation just happened out of nowhere?

but no, like every libertarian, you propose the destruction of regulation because you promise yourself that somehow people will be better off if they need to waste their lives on crap. “you didn’t put weeks of research into the three bio-med testing labs to ensure they wouldn’t lie about the insulin, I guess you should die now, lol”, and you know how I can tell you’re an American? BECAUSE LITERALLY NO NE ELSE HAS THIS ISSUE. yes, this issue is entirely an American thing because you’re the main drivers of the deregulation and reactionary enforcement that has lead to insulin costing you $500 for a 2-week supply, and your reaction is to make the US into more of a banana republic by destroying the goverment even more.

Not sure what consequences you are talking about

my point exactly, and no libertarians outside the USA still advocate for low government interference

I think what the person you were replying to was trying to say was, that land is an investment platform, and nobody better touch his stuff, or he will enact capital punishment as judge jury and executioner

so you fall into the camp of not knowing the consequences.

the issue inherently is that the power imbalance of stuff like wealth inequality, coupled with material conditions, always end up curtailing the freedoms of those who are not on top, ironically making them less free (bit of an irony, eh?)

Are we discussing a situation in which only the FDA is gone, or complete anarchy?

the premise was no government services paid for by taxes, and without taxes there are no government anything.

Do you believe that regulatory capture is bullshit?

regulatory capture is commonly trodden out by people as an example of big government bad, when it doesn’t happen as often as these people like to pretend it does (take, for example, your misconception that the FDA is the cause of high insulin prices), not the fact that it is just a failure to deal with corruption.

People knowing about a prisoner’s dilemma doesn’t make it go away.

that’s the fun part tho, both parties knowing about the prisoner’s dilemma DOES make it go away, as the most successful models, over a longer set of games, tend to be Tit-for-Tat models

ah yes, use the totally legit bio-med test service down the road, due to the FTC not being a thing they can totally and without any repercussions just lie to you because they have a deal with the person selling you the insulin.

Then again, you have been hoodwinked into some “regulatory capture” bullshit, in reality, insulin is so expensive in the USA because no one has the capital wants to sell it cheap, it’s a risk for minimal rewards, the demand is literally your life, so the cost can be as high as anyone wants it.

as for the whole “but the free market” and “supply/demand”, do you think the people setting these prices don’t know what the prisoner’s dilemma is?

[starts to stretch insulin with paint thinner]

every day it seems like people forget what things like the FDA are for, but hey, the snake oil salesmen love this state of affairs

but the hospital even had a room filled with red barrel explosives!

I have the feeling you don’t know what libertarianism is, or you are one of the guys who dosn’t understand the consequences of your actions

and thus you justified the 14 words.

“We must secure the existence of our people and a future for Jewish children”

we must slaughter Palestinians, because only then can we be safe!

To be fair, how many secular leaders can you assassinate before they stop?

money = speech

what are you talking about, in Europe it’s center right

you think this is insane? a 24h time span in ww1, the Germans shot more artillery rounds than all the Ukrainian Army has since the beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian war. We arn’t even close to the shit from those days

go read rand, her books literally advocate for an anti-social world order, where the rich and powerful have the ability to do whatever they want without impediment as the “workers” are described as parasites that should get in line or die

so, first off, stop with this homogenous ethnostate bullshit, just because someone lives in America and is American doesn’t make them a supporter of genocide

Believe it or not? yes.

tho the distrust in the democratic institutions is literally the groundwork for abolishing democracy, and at least half of the media landscape is owned by people who want to abolish democracy, so where do you think most of the “government bad” stuff comes from?
