What an eccentric performance… (note: not safe for sanity).
And now for something that is actually not at all different but is, in fact, part two.
Five is not right out, as apparently there are going to be a total of six of these.
Libertarianism can be a lot like the divine right of kings — simple elitism dressed up in some of the moral language of the day. At least this lot admits they’re anti-democratic. Also: watch for the bit where the guy basically implies that assassinating the president would facilitate libertarian city-states seceding from the US, which somehow derives from a libertarian city-state which is effectively at war with the US being a good investment. This idea may disprove string theory as I think there are more curled up dimensions of delusion in it than can be accounted for by any physical theory proposed to date.
Without comment:
It will be a free society – no government, no coercion. People will have their rights respected. Everyone will be free to do whatever they want as long as it doesn’t interfere with anyone else’s rights… why are you looking at me like that?
Oh, I am gonna have to wade into that later. Yikes. Le Yikes.
More ponies! (i.e. part 3)
It’s Raining Secret Chundermuffins, Hallelujah?
~
They are even secret rights-respecting chundermuffins.
Though apparently “rights-respecting” doesn’t mean what you think it means…
They must be Republican chundermuffins. But I repeat myself.
Also, there is a distinct lack of raining chundermuffins, which makes me nostalgic for the days of yore, when Pinko wrote his own posts about being half-assed, instead of outsourcing it to me.
Also, battle-raps.
I have actually tried lazily to come up with battle raps RE: Yglesias, and I got NOTHING. They used to be so easy and now I can’t even get a couplet.
Actually, I just started typing something in here that I now have to keep secret.
Mendacious D!!!!!!! TO MY BEATS
But so many wonderful things rhyme with Yglesias.
Like what? (asking for a friend)
From part 3:
ANDREW: Let’s see – so security GLOs [insurance companies/mercenary contractors] will set up precise financial incentives to segregate residential communities by race, etc., following detailed mathematical models. Many people will be effectively forced, in a rights-respecting manner, to be under 24-hour surveillance. I’m curious – what kind of society do you think this will produce?
CNC: I think most people would agree that under such conditions, all … regional, racial, national… religious, and linguistic wealth redistribution would disappear, and [so] a constant source of social conflict would be removed permanently [262].
Aren’t you glad there’s a part 4?
Who are these people, and how can we use their brains for science?
and how can we use their brains for science?
Dice them.
oh and I forgot this quote from part 3:
ANDREW: You mean, you are sure that no one will want to go back to democracy?
CNC: No, I mean they won’t be allowed to discuss that possibility. In a covenant… among proprietor and community tenants for the purpose of protecting their private property, no such thing as a right to free (unlimited) speech exists, not even to unlimited speech on one’s own tenant-property. One may say innumerable things and promote almost any idea under the sun, but naturally no one is permitted to advocate ideas contrary to the very covenant of preserving and protecting private property, such as democracy and communism. There can be no tolerance toward democrats and communists in a libertarian social order. They will have to be physically separated and removed from society. [218]
Like what?
Gracias?

I heard there were people talking about Yggy Pop in here…

Nobody has yet added CRAZY ASS.
So let me type it: CRAZY ASS.
I do not believe that Naked Capitalism piece is serious. I just don’t.
pinko? did you login under the name of p-lover? i am more concerned about the plover’s return than crap libertarians say.
aif apparently needs to snort more nanobots… (and no, I’m not Pinko, or, at least, the last time I checked, I still had feathers and not a red track suit)
aif- do you think I remember how to use footnotes?
HA! Sekret header!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pinko Punko pixelated measurement shenanigans header.
That’s glue birl’s, isn’t it?

Oh, I’ve seen the SEKRET header, and fnords.
Just not recently.

SEKRET HEADER sans lonks.
Part 5 — now in stereo
I finally understand- up is down. Excellent
Last part — so where’s my rights-respecting pony?
(Can an ordinary pony be rights-respecting, or do we have genetically engineer one? What would happen if a non-libertarian owned the patent on rights-respecting ponies? A dark vision of the future indeed…)
I’ll have to think about it some more, but this may well be the best analysis of libertarianism I’ve read.
Pilkington has several excellent pieces on NC.
I love how the commenters on the libertarian death march were all “this is a straw man, just listing bat crazy quotes doesn’t prove anything. Look, free cookies! [*scrams*]“
