It's funny also how his idealized ancap society is a beaurocratic nightmare, in addition to charging you a subscription to the law.

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

MODERATORS
I always wonder, how do ancaps plan to administer a change to their proposed system? Through elections? Through revolution? What happens to existing billionaires when we go ancap? Do they just keep their wealth? What happens to everyone in prison? Let go because it was under the old corrupt system? Is school abolished along with the age of consent?
Like most idealistic fantasies, they seem to think that if they can just get enough people to support their idea, it will manifest entirely on its own without any need for direct action. The idea that the people who benefit from the system as it is opposing a new system where they won't benefit is completely incomprehensible to them.
The ones who really want it to happen usually think it'll come about after some great calamity, in the modern day after nuclear war and civilizational collapse. Otherwise they think it'll just be a mass vibe shift
Whenever I ask about this, they're usually pre-occupied with everyone following the ancap's specific rules rather than whether anyone would be motivated to do or believe in those rules.
You’re presuming a level of foresight and connection to reality that’s not present for most ancaps. All the ones who actually think about this sort of stuff tend to just be neoliberals
Of course. Billionaires are good and if any aren’t then just do more free market stuff
It’s cute you even have to ask
Oh I know, it's just fascinating to me that someone could have relatively radical political views but simultaneously not have any theory for how to actually execute those political views.
My experiences with AnCaps, I honestly think most of them are doing a bit. Like I think politically they're actually just regular Libertarians but they crank it up to 11 to get a rise out of people. They are aware their ideas are bologna, but they're hoping by advocating for it hard enough they'll achieve their actual goal, a society where the central government is weak enough that you can marry multiple of your under-aged nieces and smoke homemade meth in your unlicensed car.
Honestly idk why these AnCaps just don't move to Idaho, their utopia already exists.
Anything that abets, if not supports the "an"cap system...
