It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

90% of the economy of ancapistan is dedicated to lawyers, pr firms, arbiters, mediators, private militaries, and an army of actuaries endlessly calculating the risks associated with enforcing a particular property claim vs. the odds of winning a dispute with the client's estate claimants? pretenders? usurpers? after denying their security coverage because enforcement is the expensive part and anyway i'm pretty sure this whole scheme just recreates the genocidal incentive structures inherent to settler-colonialism

And reputation is this nearly omnipotent force in their world, where a court being biased would immediately make them lose all their power somehow.

It does, while also atomizing it to an individual level

Truly deranged that people actually think like this

Isn't anarcho-capitalism a completely conflicting ideology? How are these hierarchical corporate structures built on authoritarian principals not unjust hierarchies that need to be dismantled?

i mean it pretty much exists solely to retroactively justify/absolve themselves of genocide by asserting "homesteading" as the only valid basis for ownership, and of course private ownership as the only valid basis for control of labor, land, and resources.

so it's a bit like the divine right of kings, clearly a bunch of bullshit that only exists to justify absolutist monarchy. it doesn't really have to be internally consistent, people with a strong enough incentive are still going to convince themselves that some people have magical sperm.
