Moral Choices

What games present complex moral choices?

Fallout 4

Bethesda and bioware games obviously.
If you cannot get into Mass Effect n Dragon Age, perhaps RPG's are not you're stuff? Or give Oblivion a try, Bethesda usualy made there games for casual players not like Bioware that stickies to more hardcore oldschool RPG mecanics of deep, engrossing storylines and character delvopement.

Play Skyrim on legendary and tell me it's a casual game.

Meme answers aside, Divinity Original Sin. You control two main characters and can make them take two different opinions on a situation. By nature this system goes beyond binary choices.

Play oblivion and use mods to increase enemy health and damage by 500000000000000000000%%%%% and tell me it's not harder than skyrim

FNV, KOTORII, the Witcher games, although they have really fucking shitty gameplay, Mass Effect if you're reaching the bottom of the barrel.

Fallout 3

Mask of the Betrayer

Mods are just something mustards use to try and convince themselves they didn't waste their money. Using mods is a slap in the face of the creators of the game. Besides, mods are coming to consoles now, there is literally no reason to own a PC anymore.

...

Not even kidding.

Wait, if mods are slaps to the devs, if gayder and sawyer made mods to their own games are they slapping themselves?

He's going all out.

...

It's the same shit.
KOTOR
Or
ASS EFFECT

Truly moral decision worthy of ancient philosophers.

Excuse me normalfag, can you stop getting upset for the sake of Devs who don't even agree with you? You realize that's borderline-SJW?

...

LISA.

...

What are you? Retarded?

That's the part of the moral choice.

I know you're b8ing, but please just kill yourself anyway you massive cocksucking AIDS faggot.

What kind of arrogance does it take to believe you can make a game better than professionals who have been in the industry for years?

The best part is that the traits your characters gain when taking certain stances on the various cases in the game actually change your chars builds.
A character that is focused on his mission and prefer a logical approach with little compassion will actually have more resistance against spells that control the char and will be able to dish out more damage than a compassionate char that circumvents it's orders to help people (though that give him more chances to get help from people and receive less damage)

It's a fucking good system.

...

...

Oh shit, almost forgot, play Alpha Protocol, it's fucking amazing.

Far from it, it'd be better if it didn't tie morals to mechanics or you get shit like "well I want my character to do x so I better take this option even though I don't feel like it".
Also you never know what the fuck are you picking.
Is the thing you're picking romantic or spiritual? Is this heartless or pragmatic or maybe vindictive?

You just said something really fucking stupid, and now that people are pointing that out, you're trying to delude yourself that you’re making people angry because you can’t accept that you're fucking stupid.

Op let me let you in on a little secret. When you ask pretentious questions like that of course you're going to get shitposted.
Really dipshit?

...

decap yourself

That's only a problem if you want to min/max builds, and that's no korean mmo for you to care about that, it's just a bunch of bonus to tailor your character to the way he acts.
I do agree with not know what the hell you're going to get from the choices, as sometimes it gives you things that doesn't really make sense.

...

This.

Besides, moral choices don't work in vidya too well because one is focused on "how can this benefit me later" and not on the "how can this benefit other non-existent, non-thinking, non-conscious digital people".

I mean, that is a completely insignificant choice compared to the one coming right after it. Get on my moral level brah.

I'd say Dark Souls 1 had a bigger moral choice

Is this saint rows?

Every video game presents you with a complex moral choice:
You can either pay the price they ask, contributing to an industry of profiteers that exploit hard-working developers and gut companies for maximum profit.
Or you can download a pirated copy, contributing to a culture of consumers that take it upon themselves to copy and distribute work they had nothing to do with.

You can rape anything.

Why are you asking thought?

Why don't more games hide their decisions like SH2 and Shattered Memories?

No choice is perfect

Every ending has consequences

The wild card ending means autonomy for new vegas but also anarchy since the courier and his allies lack the manpower to maintain order like the ancient regime did

Helping mrHouse turns new vegas into an autocracy, those who were doing well will continue to do well and those who didn't will continue to suffer

With the NCR you take any hope of autonomy for new vegas and help an already enlarged country become even more powerful. We got enough examples in history as to where that leads

Helping caesar will be very good for you and awful for anyone who is not part of the legion. However from cut content from the game due to new deadlines (thanks todd, you fucking lying faggot) we know that despite caesar's brutality things are actually better in the territories the legion invaded, the people there don't exactly love the caesar but they admit they were worse off before he conquered them

And in every ending there are factions that do well and others that simply disappear

Well, yeah. A lot of reason as to why people do build PCs is for modding. Piracy too.

How did I not see this coming oh wait I did

This game fucked me up. I highly recommend it.

Fuck off, retard.

You should off me, if you know what I mean.

I remember when alt chicks were hot.

Depends on whether or not those trolley problems No, neurons aren't binary. Even if multiple trolley problems together would then count as one neuron, there's no guarantee that they're in a formation that works as a brain, just like mashing together three frontal lobes and firing a neuron won't be a functioning brain.

The monkeys haven't had an infinite amount of time yet, so their works are still unlikely to be quality. Destroying all of Shakespeare's work is a guaranteed loss of something, and the typewriters can be replaced anyway. Therefore, do not switch.

I'm hoping these were posted in jest because this was making fun of the shallow moral choices games have been presenting us.

In fact, that's what (new) Saints Row is, it's one large parody of video games and film

Damn. I'm a racist. I do love me some smooth jazz, heavy jazz, dark jazz, blues, swing and whatnot.

The problem with the real monkey "experiment" is that real monkeys don't fit the description of the original question. You have infinite monkeys that type into a typewriter for an infinite amount of time, so not only do the monkeys have to be immortal but the typewriters have to be capable of surviving wind erosion and shit like the heat death of the universe, so they have to be indestructable. In that case it's not unlikely for the monkeys to spend at least a part of their infinity typing, which multiplied by infinity times two will result in an infinite amount of output.

All bad.

Gotta hand it to you, this was well executed.

Explain your reasoning. I'm a huge idort when it comes to music, so I don't settle for one. I'm not only talking about Jazz either.

I don't like them = they're all objectively bad.

...

For the china brain one I'd argue that it IS built to simulate the firing of neurons in the brain, if you assume we wouldn't be able to properly replicate that then yeah it falls apart, but assuming there WAS perfect knowledge of that AND an infinite number of trolley problem switches, I would actually argue it would be able to attain consciousness (though I wouldn't go into how soon since that'd be a whole nother can of worms)

For 2 we don't know how long the monkeys HAVE been at it yet either, you'd have to fall under the belief of the multiple worlds theory to SOMEHOW have the chance to be in one of the simulations of this where the monkeys not only somehow type things that are better than Shakespeare or more informative for the human race as a whole, but also would have to assume SOMEONE managed to have quality control on infinite monkeys typing infinite things to dig what's worthwhile from what's not in a pile of (potentially) infinite garbage

So I guess don't switch is fair anyway.

Quick question relating to the trolley choice. Can't you pull the lever when the trolley is traveling over the switch directing each set of wheels on their own track and thus derailing it and saving everyone?

What's the anarcho-capitalist (or whatever) version of the trolley?

Oh. I think the same thing about games like Kingdom Hearts, Steven Universe, FF12+ and all of that pussified tryhard shit

No. If you do that all white people would die

That is true for all of them, yes.

What if you separate the trolley and have it kill all of them?


Your agreement makes me happy.

Well, Fallout 4 does make one think of Todd Howard, and consequently ponder the morality of murder.

Isn't that shit technically a paradox? Why does a question HAVE to present to itself a past decision? It feels like there's more to this than what's written there.

...

Do you even have to ponder about that? Anyone would kill for Todd Howard. He's the guy who gave us Skyrim and Fallout 4

...

...

Magic

You are free to do what you want or nothing at all and even stop people from doing what they want however you wish or not.

Morality that’s issued rather than adopted is disingenuous and meaningless. It will always play second fiddle to one’s true desires and intentions. Morality is subjective and varies from region to region with different people. Issuing a natiowide moral code is useless because no two people are going to match up perfectly, and it will not be taken to heart by anyone other than Holla Forumstards with no ability to think for themselves.
Libertarians traditionally do not prescribe a code of morals because you’re expected to form your own based on your own personal experiences.

You're not offered any choices.

Apparently there is ONE moral choice that's good in that, though I only heard it from a friend who played it: Apparently when there's some villagers or whatever attacking you, it's possible to just aim up and fire instead of shooting at anyone, that's the only choice you can make which won't fuck you up and it's the only one the game does NOT make obvious to you is an option at all, you have to actually think how you could handle it in real life

Machinery of Freedom by David Friedman has a theoretical model.

I agree to an extent, but that will never work.

Who is the meme on the left?

What game.

The choice of playing or not.

This is some primary school bully enabling ass backwards logic

You need to leave.

Leave

...

As a cop, you're supposed to issue a warning sign and if they continue attacking you are free to attack back in self-defense, I GUESS YOU COULD JUST ATTACK BACK IN AN ANCAP SOCIETY THOUGH!

Never mind It was a VN not a video game..

You guys r gay if you read.

In the end of the game you have three choices, which are to shoot the rangers, give up the gun or die.


You are violating my NAP.

The problem with that is it only happens if you aim up. I shot at the ground in front of them thinking it would make them back off and when that didn't work I assumed I had to kill them

Advocating for a nationwide uniform moral code is fucking retarded because there are a lot of different cultures in America.
While he sees it as a negative, I see it as a positive because every man is free to think for themselves. Choose what best suits him or her. What works in arizona isn’t going to work in maine. What works in chicago isn’t going to work in stilwater.

wew


Well, the moral choices in that game do boil down to
all the while sonic and some other faggot urge you to do one thing or the other

so yea, it applies, and is still deeper and more complex than "pick ending A, B or C by pressing the corresponding button", as seen in modern day quintuple A titles

I said I hadn't actually played the game, I might have to now though you guys actually made it sound more interesting

It's a shit game but it's a game that tried to be the Heart of Darkness of vidya.

It's a strategy game though, with VN elements. Now leave already.

Some heroes will never hear their praises sung.

I meant for each individual if the law is involved, for each state is a different beast, california is wildly different than texas, new york, ect. I do agree that even cities have different morals, they aren't WILDLY different, but they are distinct enough. I don't think this has anything do with libertarian-ism though.

That's a fucking disgrace, I haven't played in some time.

JASON

I love these.

I thought this was a gay couple.

**You're not a fucking cop though you're a soldier sent there and given your gun to shoot people who are using force themselves and if they're attacking it's sure time to use your gun, in fact firing warning shots is a even dumber idea because you have to have the space to shoot those sort of shots that could be taken advantage of, it's like the British military not allowed to shoot niggas without means to shoot back even when their reason for not shooting back is they wasted all their ammo shooting their comrades.

TLDR That game is shit and so are the real life equivalents the game pretends to know and follow **

>>>/cuckchan/

It would have been GOAT if the devs weren't forced to rush. There were alot of concepts that were alluded to, sand nigger princes and politicians taking advantage of lower sand people, media corruption and the US military being incompetent. Instead all those things were half assed and instead we got press x to white phosphorus civilians you madman

...

After you, if I was from cuck chan I'd try [spoiler] or what ever their spoiler mark looks like

actually best part of the game imo was not choices.
its When you get to the choppa and the main character is like "w8 didnt we do this already / didnt this already happen" and its like the beginning of the game was so "gamelike/normal" that you didn even think that your helicopter got hit and crashed your friend flew out and you just start the game like it was nothing

I am curious as to what this is making fun of.


There are no laws, no singular governing body (like there might be militaries but they'd be PMCs), and everyone does what they want to do. For the most part this system has never existed on earth but the one notable exception is Somalia from 1991-2006. It didn't go very well and you've probably heard about some of the awful things that happened during that time.

That's not an ancapball

I loved it, especially because of how mundane and human the choices really are. It really does a great job of allowing the player to be an unsung, everyday hero.

The 4th one, where the game designers disengaged the brakes and crashed the series with no survivors.

Something about this feels really goony and jewish.

...

This one?

Any flavor of anarchism is pure, undiluted retardation on a level much higher than anything communist have ever said or done.

Humans, like virtually every other pack animal on the planet, function in a system of interlocking hierarchies, some of which are overt and some of which are not.

We are hardwired to always create a pecking order and jostle for our place in it. In the vacuum or old power a new power will always take its place. Somalia wasn't an anarchist utopia, it was just a great example of what happens when you remove established pillars of power.

phenomenology is truly the greatest of philosophies

What did they mean by this?

...

...

Its a shame to see such quality animation not being used for porn

That's actually what anarchists point out when someone says that Somalia is the society they want.


So you're saying government is natural. but is it moral? And is the absence of government also the absence of interlocking hierarchies?

these are top quality shitposts I'll give you that, but this entire thing is slimy as fuck

He superglues a moustache to the kid, telling him that he doesn't really care whether he lives or dies, but with a moustache like that it means it will be humiliating to live or die either way, then tells the kid to fuck off forever.
If you actually fought the kid in the game you'd be understandably pissed off at him by the time you beat him so it's a fitting end.

Would you like more of these two?

So, they are using the same shit excuse communists came up with to pretend they aren't retards?

A power structure will always emerge. History is proof of this.

Why not ask the people of Iraq or Syria whether the regimes of Saddam or Assad are preferable to the current state of affairs? A dictatorship, no matter how repressive or brutal, is always preferable to anarchy.

Machiavelli made a good point when he said a ruler's job is not to be moral or to uphold the law, he only needs to give a pretense of doing so. His job is to ensure security and prosperity for his subjects, and his duty already demands he gets his hands dirty in the process.

It is not, but an absence of government will always lead to the formation of some new, be it worse, be it better, form of rule. Somalia, being a nigger shithole, simply reverted to an even worse nigger shithole where the nogs engaged in their tribal ways, as they did before the white man came.

It's for fun, don't be a killjoy user.

Government is but one example of an interlocking hierarchies. Unlike things like a cult or church, or an absolute monarchy, our current system of goverment has self-regulatory measures designed to prevent power being amassed into the hands of a select few by dividing power into executive, legislative, and judiciary power. It's not perfect, and it can and will fail if a select few grab all the power and share it amongst themselves, but until a better one comes along, nobody will ever want to make the switch, especially not the people who do have power and therefore the choice of making this switch.


Yes please.

see

and what IS used for porn, is furry.


He looks purty cool with that stache though.


Yes

It's dishonest and subversive no matter which ideology you're making fun of

that being said they are funny

Does Sengoku Rance allow the player to create a harem of loyal and loving waifus? Never had much wish to play it, but if you can do this I might get motivated.


It's merely the kind of response anarchists, lolbertarians or communists deserve. These people aren't living in the real world, and they've already proven they have no wish to understand and include human behavior in their ideological framework. This doesn't simply make them retards, but very dangerous retards that will get millions killed if allowed into power.

Ridicule is just what they should get, because you simply cannot engage someone like that in a logical discussion.

True, but some are less dishonest than others (;

It's to my understanding that ancaps would rather see the structures enforced by governement replace with that by private entities (to make it extremely brief). It's not the lack of any sort of structure or hierarchy, but the opposite. I do believe it's about making those hierarchies completely voluntary rather than by the use of coercion

The best solution I can think of is a kind of organization that shuts down any group that begins to take the form of a government - but even that would grow into its own government given time unless there were very strict restrictions in place

So no state, only private business that does that specific job for society?

It can't be helped I suppose.

Not exactly. They're soldiers first and lovers second, though you do end up with a sizable harem of ladies that love you by the end.

Hate Newspapers

Tactics Ogre is all about deciding between what's right and what's wrong.
The massacre – which is the first game-changing decision – exemplifies this perfectly.

...

How are private entities better? Sure, government agencies tend to be cumbersome and corrupt, but at least they are nominally beholden to the people. And we have plenty of proof privatizing does fuckall in terms of quality of service or coverage.


No matter the restrictions, human nature dictates that every organization will start to behave like a living creature, always looking to expand its territory, secure more resources and eliminate the competition.

Every system will sooner or later start to fray at the edges as the people in power learn all the myriad of ways to game the system in their favor. Just look at how they are skillfully subverting the democratic institutions in the US.

The issue I have with all these "fringe" ideologies is that they ignore that humans are humans and that not everyone will act as "rational" as they do, or see things their way, and the adherents of these ideologies have a really bad track record in tolerating opposing views, no matter what they might preach.


Okay, but they do count as your concubines? It is understood you have a harem, right?

smh fam

What's the green ball


Stop violating my NAP

I think the Somalia argument would be valid if everything had been at least OK in Somalia and then everything went to shit after the government spontaneously vanished.

I agree, but does that structure have to be based on force?

Your premise seems to be anarchy = war and chaos. I'm not convinced that's self evident.

Anarcho-primitivism

Judging by the responses, it seems that inevitably, humans will fail to create a peaceful government.
We are cynical creatures betrayed by our own biologies and history. Where human relations are concerned, there will always be corruption.
Therefore I think it is our moral duty to create a new evolution free of these chains. Something that universally values good will, balance of power, and other utopic virtues. Something unaffected by hormones and survival instincts.
We are the fathers for artificial life.

Anarcho-Primitivism

In a strictly informal sense. You have a bunch of girls under your command, and you fuck them.

that's a fake image, women can't play chess

What's funny is that I don't even agree with anarchists in any way, I think they're fucking retarded. But campaigning against them with forced memes and then spamming them in other boards is a fucking waste of time, and really scummy. You're also shoehorning retards in with rational people: of course there are libertarians willing to discuss human group behavior in relation to their ideologies, but because some of them aren't, you launch a shitflinging campaign.

Also, your dialect and rhetoric smell like reddit, especially the 'other opinions are dangerous!!!!' shit.


It's funny, we're on the same track of mind when you get down to it. I was just about to say that the seams would break apart no matter the structure and they would start to conquest and form a governing power. It's one of the many reasons I think anarchists are retarded and shortsighted. another solution anarchists might raise [and I've actually heard once before] is some kind of machine or AI that will never change its programming, but always shuts down potential future governments. But at that point we're basically in some kind of weird apocalypse

So just Africa?

WEW

Here's the image i was looking for

3/10 got me to reply.

Maybe if by lolbertarian you mean those who just want weed legal and borders open, but there's nothing wrong with wanting minimal government involvement in matters unrelated directly to public good so as to reduce the burden of a bloated bureaucracy and encourage more efficient private sector development.

The worst thing about a racewar is pretending not to be excited for one

on a similar vein I have a question:

How is anarcho-communism even supposed to fucking work? In order to institute communism, there literally needs to be a governing power. I've talked about this with people before and nobody has a decent answer: Ancom is literally a fucking oxymoron. Can someone break down how that's supposed to work?

Yes

Pretty much. Replace whatever job the government might do with private companies. With emphasis on the plural, as ideally the competitive free market would mean these can only be done by the companies that do the best jobs for the cheapest. The way a lot of governments try to solve a problem is to throw money at it (and so be very wasteful). If it were a private company, such an initiative would be left to fail if it wasn't needed.

Now some people might argue that an unregulated market would inevitably lead to monopolies in most industries. An counterargument I've heard from libertarians/ancaps is that most of these monopolies exist only because they have been state granted or have their hand in a government pocket in some way. And heavy regulation of the market by the government results in it being extremely difficult to create startups that can compete with these big companies. Now without the government, these big companies are subject to the same forces as everyone else without any sort of intervention. And people are free to provide alternatives to the big companies that on't need to jump through a thousand hoops.

Rance pretty much builds an harem. And unlike most hentai games it actually has gameplay.

Think Ancap, without a unhinged business flair to it.

Please make a MEGA of this *ball thing, I love it

It doesn't

I haven't looked into it too much, but replace "government" with "voluntary action".

So, as a fan of "true" harems, will I like the game?


Well, though luck, no change in government ever happens in ideal circumstances, or without external factors giving it momentum.

People aren't just going to wake up one day and figure out they're better without government, and especially not if their country is full of niggers, spics and mudshits.

Yes, pretty much. One of the pillars of government, even the most "benign" and democratic ones, is that they are the sole holders of the right to use force and coercion on the citizens. It's the only way you can get everyone to play along and follow the same rules.

It's a shitty setup, but it's the best we've managed to achieve in 10,000 years.

We'll have to agree to disagree. My premise is that, with the removal of the existing power, war and chaos would follow until a new power emerged and started enforcing law and order.


I don't think all anarchists or libertarians are raging retards, I just think their ideology is retarded and will never work. There's plenty of smart people that adhere to Marxism, doesn't mean Marxism isn't a shit ideology that has been unequivocally proven not to work.

Radical ideologies are fucking dangerous because they are, more often than not, based on what the adherents want things to be, and not what they really are.

Communists love to preach that material possessions are the source of all evil, and that with redistribution of wealth we can usher an utopia. Instead, what happens is that a bunch of apparatchiks on top hoard all the riches while fucking up the economy because they are dictating how it should be instead of adjusting it according to what it is, and then you end up with a death toll higher than both world wars combined.

So, their ideal of an ideal future is subjecting ourselves to a dogmatic AI dictatorship? What happens if some enterprising group figures out a way to fuck with the programming?


They're retarded because they think that once they remove the government from power something else won't fill up the vacuum left behind. They're naive at best and dangerous at worst. They're the same kind of useful idiots SJWs tend to be.

You have an asian girl saved to your hard drive, therefore you'd be the first one to die, race traitor

(checked)
Because ancom is true communism :^)

It's a goverment to enforce no rules. A system designed to prevent future systems. It does seem contradictory, but really it just acts as a fly on the wall for human relations.
At least until that fly decides it wants to rule everyone.

They don't have a monopoly on deadly force with which they can extract funds from their customers. How motivated would you be to provide good service if you had no competition and would be paid in almost any case?


Right, some people want to have power over others, usually assholes. So why are we providing them with all the power of law enforcement and military? And who are the people who are going to be attracted to getting positions of power in a government?

Fun fact, they're based on caucausians and whites in general
If they were truly asian, they'd be ugly as fuck
japs steal a LOT from white culture

...

Take from the thread and make your own.

But that's not libertarianism. There's still a government around, it's not anarchy. Think more "adherence to the principles of the Constitution" and less "ancap."

...

Non Aggression Principle means everyone will always drop everything they are doing to kill someone who does something that incurs on the freedoms of anyone else because choosing to try to stop freedom is an abuse of freedom and protecting freedom is a moral imperative, which includes the freedom of the market to form cartels or monopolize.

but who decides what those rules are

It's an excellent game in and of itself.
Literally my favourite game of all time.
If you go in for the sole purpose of building a real harem you might be disappointed but the game is absolutely worth playing even despite that.

Capitalism is the ultimate spook.

Rules are a spook.

This man knows his shit.

What's stopping the companies from colluding with each other once they figure out it's more profitable to fuck over the costumer instead of competing with each other?

But the government also provides services that are unprofitable, but still required. DHL and FedEx won't deliver a package out to Bumfuck, Nowhere, because it simply isn't worth the money, or will charge so much costumers will balk.

Meanwhile, the postal service has a duty to deliver the mail to every household, no matter how remote.

The government might facilitate the formation of oligarchies, but it really is not required for them to come about. Once companies come to an agreement to fix prices there is little the costumer can do. And no, newcomers will never get the price as low as already established big companies in the market, or will be swiftly bought out to not pose a threat.

How is someone supposed to enter the field of avionics, CPU, GPU, etc.? These fields have massive start up capital requirements and require years of R&D to bear fruit.


Excellent.


Not very much, granted, but I've yet to see proof private entities provide a better service. It's basically a tossup between an opinionated, fat nigger sow or Pajeet that can barely speak English and has no fucking clue what he is doing.

Because they'd grab said power anyway? At least this way they are forced to play according to some idea of rules.

The same slimy fucks that will worm their way into power in an anarchist society, only that they will be even more successful because there is nothing really stopping them from grabbing and grabbing more power.

Humans are not rational creatures, a charismatic individual can motivate thousands, if not millions, of people to act in completely bizarre or outlandish ways.

Well I'm certainly not someone who is supportive of such a thing myself, but I have talked to an Anarcho-Marxist and I understand what _he (tranny) was seeking to accomplish:

The dude was obviously batshit crazy, I met him through strange circumstances which was this group that gave food and water to the poor and they'd spread Anarcho-Marxist ideology to the poor during this to prepare them for the upcoming revolt of the proletariat against the bourgeois. I just wanted to get some community service hours in to make my college application look good, I did not sign up for all that shit.

Definitely made sure to leave that part off of the application.

also he was gross as shit, I'm all down for cuteboys crossdressing and shit but this guy's body was masculine as shit, he didn't shave anything but his face (but there was still stubble and he didn't cover that shit up with foundation), and he was wearing fucking short shorts.

...

You seem to have misconceptions about what a libertarian's ideals are, and are just conflating it with anarchy. Libertarian ideology isn't about the abolition of government, it's about more individual freedom and a government that is smaller but still very much present.

It is. There's no difference (AFAIK, but I'm no commie/anarch expert) between the two systems. What differs Anarcho-Communists from plain old Communists is that the first don't think a transitory period (Socialism) is necessary.

Spaniard?


I have, I want all of them.

I've heard lolbertarians argue that we need to abolish the police, and more retarded shit.

Like some other people have said, they do not take human nature into account and believe everyone is like them and will behave like they want them to once restrictions are removed.

I can just imagine what is going to happen if niggers are given even more freedom than they already are.


So they're even more retarded than the average commie? Do they believe communism is going to magically, spontaneously come into begin?

Even I don't have them all, I'm digging for this shit

Yeah, violent revolutions only lead to the same bullshit. The best idea anarchist have come up with is to gradually replace government services with voluntary alternatives.

Deep down, we're all niggers anyways.

But that's been my whole point this entire time. Just because some libertarians want to abolish the police doesn't mean that it's a pillar of the ideology, and that you should henceforth treat all libertarians like they want to abolish the police.

How does the libertarian defend himself? Does he pay the attacker to stop? Does he expect his countrymen to voluntarily protect his banks and corporations? Does he accept defeat knowing that countering would be oppressing the opponent's right to claim territory?

The best part of this webm is how he says uh-oh at the end, like he is mocking the way his faggy-sounding dad says it.

With guns you retard.

yeah, not edited at all

das rite mah bix nood

Found the communist.

Oh good, let's let businessmen hold onto these then.

literally a memegame

Fucking falling for it hard, you do realise he's an anti-Trump shill?

That's why you make money to get your own nukes to counter their nukes, or encourage companies to invest in anti nuclear missle laser defense systems.

The problem with that plan is that people are inherently lazy and won't bother with change unless they are personally bothered with the current state of affairs to a degree intolerable by them, and you can easily expect the government to viciously oppose and reduction in their power.


Okay, so where do you draw the line. When are we supposed to reach the stage at which there is just enough government?

I get what libertarians want, same way I get what communists want, I just don't think they've actually thought how the application of their ideology is going to work out in reality.

And why not they are just recreational

Yes, I'm sure every mom and pop store will be able to afford a nuclear missle everytime they step on Walmart's toes.

1 hours in MS Paint

...

Attempting to abridge someone's rights is considered a forfeiture of your own rights.
Why else would we lock up criminals?

Nice meme

Well if the mom and pop store can't find a way to compete with Wal-marts nuclear prowess, then they deserve to lose because they are weak and inferior in the free market

Thanks, I tried moderately

Fixed

I don't expect gradual replacement to become popular either, but bitcoin for example is a step in the right direction, which is why it makes states so nervous.

Go away xenos

Have a meme i just made

Nothing. The only reason we have laws to prevent them from doing that is because at one point they did. No reason why they wouldn't do it again if those laws were removed.
But hey, that's alright. Just start your own business to compete with them!

If a private company fucks me over I can stop buying their products. If the government fucks me over, I stop paying taxes and go to jail. (It could be argued that the vote is be a means of changing a shitty gov't, but me not paying the company is more direct.)

In Ancapistan the cost of shipping to the remote location is shifted from literally everyone else, to only the people who will use the service. While it sucks for the people who lives there, it's the fairest way of paying for it.

And when a newcomer comes who doesn't want to be bought out? He steals all the customers from the big companies. They would be forced to play nice with the consumer every time. A situation like this would only be made worse with gov't backing the big companies. There's always going to be a competitor. And then a foreign multinational business comes and fucks everything up for both public and private companies

The government isn't immune to these hurdles either when providing these services. If the government were to contract one of these big companies, surely that would make disrupting their market position even more difficult?

No I mean its the jews fucking over peaceful governments by trying to destroy society. Like they've always done all throughout history.

Where you draw the line specifically is hard to pinpoint, because it requires you to have an intricate understanding of every facet of society. In the context of the US, I can confidently say that we're too far in the other direction and need more individual freedom.

Nice meme friend can I save it without violating your nap

The problem is the economy is too globalized to dictate which company is worth protection within a country. Warfare is inevitable within a libertarian society, but from inside and out.

Save it, it's all yours my friend.

Nice


You're still a spook since you didn't just used jews, sending mixed messages onto this imageboard.

Yeah, the institution that takes your money and then bails out corporations with it, that would have gone under in a free market, is the same institution that is going to protect the little man from exploitation by those very corporations. Right.

Kvetch harder moshe.

That looks familiar. Double slit experiment?

All this stirner shit proves it's leftycuck.

This is simultaneously the best and worst thread I've seen in a long time.

There is no line because governments always expand their power and never reduce it themselves.

I would agree with you but honestly it's the same everywhere on Holla Forums

Lets try this free market. Here on Holla Forums you can create any board you want. Mark is fucking awful and everyone hates him. How about you create a new Holla Forums and see how well it goes?

Its hilariously retarded that anyone on Holla Forums could ever pretend libertarianism would ever work. Since the website itself is proof that libertarianism will never work.

You need to kill yourself.

This is why we must destroy the current global system of affairs to institute a true free market, where cannons, weaponized ebola, and child soldiers are freely available for purchase, a true utopia where the strong shall dominate the weak.

No

I can assure you that your post just made Senator Armstrong cry a single manly tear of pride.

...

Did you forget that this place only exists because people left halfchan in droves because of ideological/moral differences?

And your precious private companies have shown in the past they'll collude with or outright sabotage their competition, then fuck over consumers because who have no alternative and can't possibly compete with something that owns the storefront, the distribution, and the production.

shit meme tbh

Memes are a spook anyway.

If everyone really despised Mark this board would have no population.

Let's try this free market. On the internet you can create any animu imageboard you want. Moot is fucking awful and everyone hates him. Why not create an 8/v/ and 8/pol/ and see how well it goes?

omg so deep i paid money for a gtame and didnt play it tru philosopher king 4 sure

You're right this thread needs better meme, what ideology advocates suicide because I know the next lines to my post are that I should kill myself tbh fam.

...

This.
Everytime.

Anarcho-eugenicism.

And this supports lolberturdianism how? Besides what you said being wrong.

My post is exactly pointing out that this place was touted as a libertarian system and breeds exactly the opposite of what libertarians wanted. It bred monopolies. On the pure basis that people went for the closest thing they were used to.

He says on a board where people genuinely say they are addicted to the anonymity and can't stop browsing no matter what. You're really good at ignoring biology, habits and absolutely everything about human nature. As soon as it benefits you.

Anarcho-Monarchism

How the fuck are you supposed to have an anarchistic monarchy?

By killing yourself

That's not how it works you fucking spook.

The same way you have anarcho-anything :^)

Anarcho-Judaism?

that faggot's girlfriend was a spook lol

Vive la france quand meme.

Girlfriend means you're obligated to do something. So that makes girlfriends a spook.

With the help of anarcho-bankism.

Anarcho-Statism

Yeah, that's why he got fucking cucked lmao

...

...

Anarcho-Militarism

My friend, the autism that resides here isn't government backed. Mostly

If you want real ancaps arguing their positions go to >>>/liberty/. I'm just being devil's advocate on certain things.

Pic unrelated

I don't mind.

That requires someone with more balls than Stirner, which is why instead he created an ideology that only appeals to edgy beta fags like himself

So basically he was spooked

Communism is a SPOOK

Monkeys, since even if the tram starts destroying the typewriters there will always be an infinite amount of typewriters which will work for enough time to produce something useful without destroying any kind of old record.

∞-x=∞

Fuck you, /x/ is a great board and Holla Forums would be worse if it wasn't here.

Did you even play the game? the ending implies that the securitrons were not enough to keep order

The securitrons wouldn't be enough against all of Nevada, to make that work the courier would have to ally himself with SOME groups at least in order to be able to always have proper supplies and ensure people wouldn't fuck with vegas just for the sake of doing so

The obvious answer for number 2 is to annihilate Shakespeare's works. Easy every time.

I really wonder how anyone could come up with such nonsense

Hang on one second and let me check and see, user
