Oh, and if it's important which groups are net tax payers and receivers, it's far more important to observe men vs. women. Since the state basically just pillages men to give favors to women in exchange for votes, it makes sense that any male who has taken the red pill should be in favor of shrinking or eliminating the state. https://nkilsdonkgervais.wordpress.com/2016/08/10/research-finds-that-the-state-is-entirely-funded-by-male-taxpayers/

Did you pull that line out of a 5th grade public school textbook? You realize you'd pay far less and receive better service on the market, right? The government is a giant coercive monopoly that takes far more from you than it gives. Competition > Monopoly.

(Not a conservative) Many red states are rural, and not near the coast, so they tend to be have mostly lower paying agricultural and manufacturing jobs. With lower wages goes lower real estate prices, and just generally lower cost of living ($1 in Cali and $1 in Kansas are almost like different currencies). Additionally, if there's a Federal mandate that doesn't take local cost of living into account, like say $15 minimum wage, it will hit rural communities hardest, driving many of them into eli…

The contradiction I see is that we observe the disastrous consequences of ceding any control of your life to a woman. But liberals advocate handing over enormous amounts of control over their life and wealth to the government (based on a similar lie that it cares about you). Put simply, as I pointed out to a newly red-pilled co-worker, you're already cucked because you're paying to raise other men's children through taxation and welfare.

Are you sure ideology is behind the rapefugee crisis? Citizens are ideological, sure, but we should know by know the politicians aren't. They greedy, power hungry, Machiavellian, and opportunistic. They use ideology when it serves their ends, and crush it when it doesn't. The reason Western governments are importing millions of violent, low-IQ, idiots for the 3rd world is they will support authoritarian 3rd world style governments, and that's appealing to the rulers.

One prime example of cartels is in the medical industry. People discuss differences as though it's free market vs. socialized, but in reality it's crony-run cartel vs. socialized, and they both suck. A genuine free market system would put all others to shame.

Without such a measurement, people leap to stupid conclusions based on vague perceptions. For example because the US has historically been associated with free market capitalism, and EU and Canada have socialized health care, debates usually devolve into US=free=sucks, EU=socialism=good, but with an empirical comparison as this at least attempts to be, I can demonstrate that the US is falling below most of these EU nations in freedom, so if anything, favorable metrics from EU are an indication t…

This is another thing most people misunderstand. You seem to have more vocal anti-gun nuts in Canada, but gun ownership rate is not much less in Canada (something like 25% of households vs 40% in US last time I checked). The gap only appears wider if you count total number of guns, where US has like 3x more. Their gun laws seem more restrictive, but the practical effects are not much different. I agree with you in principal: Western government in general are slowly strangling guns and speech, an…

Not as much as you might think.

They, and other "leftist/socialist" European nations also score higher than the US on the human freedom index. US didn't even make the top 10.

Economics are definitely not zero sum. If I invent a tool or process which allows something to be produced twice as efficiently (uses half the raw materials, or labor as before), then it's a win across the board. The increased efficiency will be felt in lower prices to consumers, higher pay to workers, and more profits for owners/investors. There's more to it than that, but that's the basic principle. The market is always finding better ways to do things, because it's rewarding to all involved. …

That's disgusting. Police in the US are similar, thought perhaps they do a better job of hiding their apathy. They have all the time in the world for revenue-generating activities, like harassing people over expired registration/inspection, and speeding, but if an actual violent crime occurs, they'll show up and file a report, then forget it ever happened.

Even when comparing similar roles, you still will (and should) see a disparity in pay between male and female stars. Stefan Molyneux had a great analysis of this. I believe this is the one: http://stefanmolyneux.com/post/99462868560/brad-pitt-overpaid-underpaid-how-can-a-market I'm re-listening to it now, and will provide a TL;DR.

And that's another of the big problems with Keynesianism / central banking. Savings should serve as the pool of available credit, so they're not sitting idle; they get loaned out, and fuel investment spending. They also serve as a real-time indicator of the time preference of individuals (present vs. future consumption), which should drive interest rates. One of the fundamental problems of a central bank is that it breaks that real time connection between savings and investment. Their pool of av…

Yeah, pretty much.

It's counter-cultural only because mainstream economics has become so corrupt. Schiff is great.

I'm not saying you should be bitter, just that TRP is about acknowledging the truth in all things. "So they don't have to"? That's precisely my point. You didn't have to, and neither did anyone else. "That's no need for that"? Am I in the wrong sub? if I'm wrong, tell me I'm wrong, but I'm not sure why there would ever be no need for the truth.

To those saying "thank you for your service", aren't we in TRP a little wiser than that? Service happens when the consumer voluntarily exchanges their money for expected value of the goods or services. Mechanics, waitresses, cooks, etc... these people serve me, and I willingly pay them. Am I offered the option of paying for military "service"? No. Do they provide any benefit to me? Considering there are no threats to US soil, no.

Molyneux also pointed out (not sure if it was to PJ or the venus project radio host), that these theories have been around for decades, and NOBODY has even come up with even a prototype algorithm for how this central computer would distribute resources.

The only statement I take issue with is you said "starting in 2007". It started 100 years ago, accelerated during the world wars and in the 60s.

Although I'd caution not to generalize the misinformationists by gender. Yes, many of them are women, but that doesn't mean the average woman is equivalent to them. They're consumers and repeaters; part of the problem, certainly, but in a more passive way. In the same way, many men consume and repeat government propaganda and marxist idelogies, but they aren't part of the propaganda machine; their just sheep in the herd, replicating what they were taught, and blindly follow.

And of course that's only for pretty women. The bottom 30% miss out on the AF entirely, and never have anything close to fulfillment.

But they lack both the information and the rationality to understand that they're lying.

While what you say is true, we're sitting on an economic foundation of sand. Much of the modern growth is artificial, due only to inflationary paper currency, and not sound fundamentals of productivity and consumer service. With state debts and unfunded liabilities in the trillions, it only takes one disastrous event to collapse the entire house of cards. The next crash will likely be far worse than 2008, and is probably not far off.

I call bullshit. You would rather have you wife so hot for you that she can't wait for the kids to go to bed so she can go down on you. Stop telling yourself it's not possible or you're too lazy; those are just excuses/rationalizations for failure. What this "100%" you consider too difficult? All you gotta do is get in shape, get your shit together, and be an awesome dude. You don't have to be a PUA to be red pill. DO WHAT MUST BE DONE and enjoy the rewards.

Sounds pretty similar to me, but less hopeful. If your wife suddenly became a wild sex kitten, would you refuse her advances because "you know she's not really like that?" Probably not, and it's the same for women. You becoming more alpha is more attractive to them. Her hamster will also fight the change like crazy because she'll lose control over you, and she's also lazy and doesn't want to have to compete for the new [higher-SMV] you. But in the end, it's what she wants and needs, and you'll b…

Acknowledging is step 1. Now come up with a plan to solve it. What's your plan? Start small, if you need to. Force yourself into social situations, and force yourself to talk to people.

Ah yes, another classic. And if you knew someone who lived in a dangerous neighborhood and got mugged, that would be your natural reaction as well. Not to condemn the mugger and seek justice, but "lol move somewhere else if you don't like being violated." Once again, the presence of other options doesn't justify the use of force. If anything, we should be telling the ones who use or justify violence to gtfo.

I will be happy to respond to that question, but first you need to acknowledge that your suggestion that using public services equates to consent/voluntary-participation was bullshit (like saying it's not slavery if a slave eats a meal provided by his master).

Subsidizing the caretaker has proven to be disaster for the kids, by leading to lots of shitty caretakers who use the money to subsidize themselves, and treat their kids like shit. As JP_Whoregan suggested elsewhere, if someone can't afford a baby, they should not be allowed to raise that baby. The kid will have much better chances with a responsible couple who wants to adopt than with a crazy single mother.

I see you didn't read my response. There is no universal "correct" number. Some resources are inherently dangerous to harvest. Workers, employers, and consumers all voluntarily accept those risks in order to receive the rewards. Sometimes accidents happen, but that's nobody's fault. It is each person's individual responsibility to plan for emergencies, but that doesn't stop family, friends, and communities from helping people in need.

The whole idea that an employer is responsible for ensuring the safety and lifestyle of their employees is socialist nonsense.

Workers are equally responsible for the risks they take on, and their occasional consequences.

Oh hello, hamster. I didn't realize workers have no autonomy whatsoever and can't rationally choose whether a dangerous job is worth the pay or not (applies just as easily to police as a factory).

Supply and demand applies to labor as well. If there's a shortage of demand for [unskilled] labor (unemployment), it's because the price for unskilled labor is too high. People would naturally respond by being willing to work for less in order to get a job, but that behavior is prevented by law. Thus, mandatory unemployment. Minimum wage sounds nice in principle, but makes it really hard for young/unskilled workers. It's like cutting the bottom rungs off the employment ladder.

True about differences. Thought now that I think about it, one thing I've heard about actors is they tend to have a lot of charisma, and are a lot of fun to talk to (even for the non-celebrity-obsessed like myself). So I guess it's worth pointing out that there's more than looks: I'm sure SJ would beat the waitress in general social skills and knowing how to be sexy. But as someone else pointed out, she can be trained. SJ would probably be more fun in the short run, but waitress wins long-term.

Right, and what caused the mcmansion explosion? Massive increases in the money supply following the removal of the gold standard in the 1960s, and artificially low interest rates that caused the housing boom and bust. Austrian Economic Theory explains this perfectly.

You don't understand the big picture of economics.

Your statement does not accurately describe either the historical trend or the present reality.

Agree with most you said, but it's not capitalism that created feminism and told all women to get jobs; it's government.
