lolbertarians are some of the dumbest people on earth.

okay, let’s say it is “crony capitalism run by the state” (he doesn’t mean state capitalism, he doesn’t know what that means)

what else can capitalism become, especially without extremely strict regulation and wealth/income caps- all things these people are against? and to the extent that the state has its hand in the economy, is it not ONLY to benefit corporations? they’re not regulating these companies or anything to any meaningful degree. so if the government is bad because they only serve big business, even in their own completely nonsensical analysis, doesnt that still make capitalism the problem?

    Liberals who think like this imply they do not comprehend the centrality of contract, property, corporate, copyright and patent laws to a capitalist society or that these concepts are so hopelessly abstract in their head that it might as well have the same relevance as mentioning bowling or botany

    Just wtf do they think a state is? These people have no idea what capitalism is

      they think “the state” is just someone standing next to a money printer with a list of DEI based welfare programs to send bags of cash to (when they aren’t making oppressive age of consent laws)
