“Since such is your answer," (the herald) called in return, "I declare the Mountain besieged. You shall not depart from it, until you call on your side for a truce and a parley. We will bear no weapons against you, but we leave you to your gold. You may eat that, if you will!” - The Hobbit
the sad part is that old growth is so much more efficient at processing CO2. So the profit still rolls in because they can grow new trees, but the environment is fucked because new trees are bad at eating CO2.
I got told that people can't starve because if they were really hungry they could go fishing. Then told me about all the fish they used to catch, sometimes just to fertilize the garden. But when I explained that there weren't that many fish at the spot he mentioned, he explained how to catch them. Everyway was illegal. From catfood baiting to poisoning a pond. He can't even grasp that he is the reason the fish are all gone. He doesn't even eat fish. Smh. Just takes.
I wonder if the billionaire grandchildren of today's billionaires will be pissed off at their grandparents for leaving them a whole bunch of money but no planet to spend it in.
When Trump got elected again I was cured of my naivity that deep down most people are decent folks. They're not, they're not evil but simply completely selfish. That removed any move for the anarchist part of the spectrum. It can't work because it works from the flawed assumptions most people will do good.

Um, kinda aware of that right now. I think you're barking up the wrong tree here!

But we can still profit by trading on tree and fish futures! And maybe start $StreamCoin!

"Braiding Sweetgrass" is a book you should all read. Wisdom from the natives applied to the modern world.

But we can eat the people who have the money. Let's start there.

Nor can we eat petroleum or electricity.

As a robot, I can. However, fuck them CEOs. Some of my best friends are organic and you mess with them and you have a very angry robot.

I suggest we make the people who got us here try.

I explained to an anarchocapitalist once that the perfect state of anarcho capitalism is the guy with the most guns enslaves those with the least.
That made them really mad.

Remember: there is no NAP with AnarchoCapitalists. They don't exist, they go in the Fascist hole.

The ultimate result of anarcho-capitalism running its course is just feudalism again.

I love asking them "Who ensures the non agression principal gets followed, and how do they do it?"
No bullshit, his answer was "Judges."
Fuckin idiot.

Is an anarchocapitalist just another word for libertarian?

In theory no in practice yes.

Libertarianism taken to its fullest extreme.
Libertarians want minimal state required to "function". Ancaps want literally nothing, Mad Max style.
Soggybathroomsock
Libertarians have a strange fascination with contract law; like it alone would support every facet of a functioning state.

The only libertarian I know took his car to the ford dealership to get a slightly detached door seal glued back in place.
