Do you think drill instructors are angry in boot camp?

Just because they amplify their voices, give commands, push you hard.

If this is your thought process, you haven't learned what life is without anger in the correct manner.
Probably never will then, however I don't think I only meant it in the drill instructor sense.

I am the type of guy that I promise you, I could spend 17 years in solitary confinement kidnapped and enslaved and not once, not ever would I properly lose the urge to rip you apart and get free, I'd just bide my time and wait, wait wait. Most would break, cave in and conform. However, unlike my nature, I have learned the lust for elongating or overdoing the revenge is futile, escape and getting happy is the main perogative. Thus I am both forgiving and angry.

On a separate note, pork is fantastic if you're naturally skinny and building up muscle mass. It's the best meat but Herring can be superior due to higher creatine. The idea of fats being unhealthy is misinformation spread by a skinnifying agenda.

WARNING to all who play Valorant and now League of Legends.
I left this thread until my opponent had posted his final Round in a separate debate where I'm supporting LoL.

I want to warn people for 2 reasons:
  1. I have advocated for Riot Games on this website, feeling this slightly responsible for maybe convincing a member of 2 to consider and then play LoL or Valorant.
  2. It makes for good original content in 2 dead subforums and I figured this applied to Gaming more than Technology.
I will keep this brief, explaining little and letting you research it yourself if you're interested further.

By sheer luck, I wasn't into first-persom shooters as raw reaction time and reflexes have never been my forte in competitive gaming. For the past 3 to 4 years, Valorant's anticheat software has had Kernel ring-0 privileges on systems it's acting on (the level of privilege only Microsoft itself  or Intel/AMd is meant to have on your system).

Now, they're introducing it to LoL and it's mandatory. Even though over 75% of the cheating is done by Asians and Asians alone, they're forcing it on all regions so nobody is exempt from this theead's warning if they play LoL. Luckily, they're warning a lot more with LoL than with Valorant.

I didn't have any idea how dangerous this was and am fortunate troe alert and paranoid people resisting the speed of update suggested in January 2024 o us to make Riot Games delay it to now.

It's already out in Philippines region and is about to go global. Please be fully aware that this, when installed has the access that is a wet dream to hackers and virus designers. It isn't just running when your game is open but from startup to shutdown. I'm theory you can stop the driver during computer usage, forcing you to restart your system if you want to play any LoL but be very clear; this can pretend it is uninstalled and remain in your system as a permanent backdoor.

Around 80% of shareholding power in Riot Games is held by Tencent, a CCP endorsed gaming company. This is a national security risk and Riot Games sis gaslighting you to feel okay about it.

Anger? Na, sometimes you need that to end up in a place of peace. We're gonna have to disagree there. Anger is a very important emotion, it's about channeling it the right way.

Invitation to anyone to play an ARG

@Savant
What does stone hedge, the boy scouts and Prescott have in common?
Idk specifically which Prescott is referred to but the former 2 began in England, UK. It's Stonehenge not Stone hedge.
Who is in Argentina?

David Cameron visited Falkland Islands and is discussing the UK owning them (sticking to the UK still owning them) vs Argentina.

The user David here is a known Jew and is the only member of the website known to have actually had IRL interactions and access to Wylted IRL as well as having banned Wylted before but tends to delegate it to other mods. The first time he did it, Bsh1 took the flack etc.

I don't really find anything Wylted is doing funny and think it's quite disgusting him ridiculing genuinely schizophrenic outbreaks in people.

Even I heard those questions over 100 times. In fact, one of the most common questions for anarch is how to keep order in society. The fact that you think he, professor of philosophy, never heard that question before and is now unable to answer it, just tells me that you are trolling here.
Link me to him addressing the questions please. If it's along TED talk, give me the timestamp, I have better things to do than listen to the full talk of caveman politics being glorified.

Also, guys, you really shouldnt let RM debate the professor, as he is literally just gonna spam troll attacks on him such as when he claimed that living with polar bear is real anarchy. So please, dont embarrass the site and send someone else to debate the professor, I am thinking someone like Savant or whiteflame, someone calm.
I have not lost my temper in a 1v1 debating arena on here as far as I recall, in fact even on DDO I think I didn't. Rap battles are different. At worst I just FF.

@Bones
Now you are being completely dishonest. I already posed that maxim as an extrapolation of what you did so, combining your statements that that "ancap is survival of the fittest, point blank period", and also that  "guys built like Huemer would get tossed like rag dolls within the first week of anarchy, left in rags (pun intended) bleeding". So with these statements, we can take the maxim "the strong and fit will always defeat the weak and unfit". 
There is nothing dishonest about it, you keep ignoring the 'under Ancap politics' part.

Sometimes the weak will be more tactical, popular, rich (with paid gangs/guards that don't feel like mugging them) or lucky and have others defend them.
So do you then disagree with the statement that "the strong and fit will always defeat the weak and unfit"?
Sure, not always otherwise Ancap would never have ended and we'd never have civilised and outgrown it. Smarter and weaker members can band together against strong, powerful thugs which is the most reliable way to ensure the 'maxim' of ancap is defeated, by defying Ancap altogether and establishing a government, police force etc.

I said under AnCap that's the significant primary rule at play far more than when laws protect those less 'fit'.
Now you're backtracking your claim. Before you said "Ancap is survival of the fittest, point blank period", now you're saying "survival of the fittest plays a big role in ancap". 
It is. To which you replied that in a war that wasn't Ancap, the stronger side lost due to pulling out of the war as back home people were against it and it seemed like the Cold War was won regardless at that point and they were just kicking a horse while it's down.

Somehow your brain, wylted's Benjamin's and BKs can't quite grasp that.
Don't forget public freedom!
?

Under your definition absolutely everything is anarchy. In anarchy you can still be coerced, bribed, raped, murdered, stolen from and all of it happening (by definition with rape and theft) completely against your voluntary will.  
I didn't say that in anarchy there is no coercion, bribery, rape etc. Not sure why you're straw manning. 
In that case voluntarism isn't the axiom or core value in anarchy.

You are choosing to define anarchy that way because it suits your agenda which is a corrupt and disgusting agenda.
I have only defined anarchy as the system which preferences freedom as its ultimate maxim. Not sure how I'm committing any stimulative fallacy. 
But it doesn't. It says it does but it doesn't. If I am free to bully you and oppress you with 0 restrictions, that's not real freedom it's knuckleheaded illusion of freedom.

The reality of anarchocaputalism is that not only in practise is it caveman politics but even in theory it is.
Since you are so confident in this position, I'm interested in what sources have you consulted to arrive at this conclusion - what informs your understanding of ancap? 
You want me to appeal to authority to explore a blatant truth?

In our least evolved state possible we have no government, no police, no laws and complete unrestricted 'freedom' to abuse each other. This coupled with the ethos 'everyone for themselves get rich/powerful and gather all the resources one can for oneself and those one deems useful to oneself' were the maxims of caveman politics.

I learned to become one. The grudge(s) hurt(s) you a lot more than the one(s) you hold it/them against. Even if they don't, it is still an ailment.

I couldn't exist on this website without forgiving a lot of abusive shits for how they treated me, it's so much healthier to let it go but as Sadolite said, never forget.

Take note of the toxic shits in your life and distance from them, don't keep running back or being open to them. Don't hate them, they can't help being that way.

All an anarchy is, is a system in which voluntary interactions are of utmost priority. This doesn't mean that somehow every system we see needs to be abolished, but rather they are provided for in the free market, and made better by market forces. Take the police for example. Under the state, it is provided by one organisation, who are payed through involuntary taxes (meaning they will always be payed). In an ancap society, state police is abolished in place of private security who do the exact same thing as the police, with the only difference being that there are multiple (as opposed to one) provider, and they are payed through voluntary transactions, meaning there is an imperative for quality. 
Nope. Under your definition absolutely everything is anarchy. In anarchy you can still be coerced, bribed, raped, murdered, stolen from and all of it happening (by definition with rape and theft) completely against your voluntary will. You are choosing to define anarchy that way because it suits your agenda which is a corrupt and disgusting agenda. The reality of anarchocaputalism is that not only in practise is it caveman politics but even in theory it is. The Capitalistic aspect of the anarchy is individualism above all else with zero laws stopping it.

In my argument, I never once mention ancap. At all. It's completely irrelevant. The only thing I am addressing is the proposition that "the strong and fit will always defeat the weak and unfit" - this statement is the only thing I am interested in at this point in time. 
That statement is not what I said. Sometimes the weak will be more tactical, popular, rich (with paid gangs/guards that don't feel like mugging them) or lucky and have others defend them.

I said under AnCap that's the significant primary rule at play far more than when laws protect those less 'fit'. Somehow your brain, wylted's Benjamin's and BKs can't quite grasp that. I have a feeling others did grasp it but they're staying silent, including Savant, as they know how infantile Ancap is to even entertain as an idea.

There have been times but it was often due to emotions more than logical error. It depends what you mean.

I think you mean someone suddenly proves me wrong on something instantly and there and then I admit I am wrong. That's happened but rarely and I didn't say it is a strength I have. Humility will never be my forte.

You assume US Vs Vietnam happened under Ancap conditions. That's where you're going wrong. There were non anarchic factors at play for the US pulling out that you call illiterate or whatever else. Idk where you get he idea it proves your case.

I said within Anarcho capitalism the primary and fundamental thing at play is power of any kind. As soon as the system tames itself by collective power it stops being anarchy as laws, government and a police force would form. You seem to not realise the limitations of anarchy and just throw the word around all fancy and shit a bit like Benjamin does when he says there can be genuine legal systems and laws that require them to even exist let alone be enforced, in anarchy.

The worst part of being an Ancap is the day you realise the only ones who want your utopia are either completely delusional dorks or sociopaths and/or psychopaths ready to make you scream for mercy if you don't give them what they want, when they want it, where they want, how they want. He thinks he's a champion of the cause because he hasn't met proper, true Ancaps. The Mafia are hybrids as they're also too conservative to fully abide by the wild anarchy but they're close to it. He has many thugs that want that reality. He could learn a lot from prison cultures as to how Ancap would operate.


He should visit the Congo and study its history to get a grasp of true, genuine anarchy since now it is slowly moving away from the anarchy.

He either is a genuine sociopathic/psychopathic intellect and realises as troll-like as my questions seem, I cut to the core flaw and horror of Ancap ethics (total absence of it) or alternatively he is just a parrot of the propaganda and will try to dismiss me based on my questions being unworthy to respond to.

There is no option 3. I doubt he'd be so ridiculous as to bring up Vietnam war as some sidetrack.

All I read is blablabla. I think most here haven't experienced it and even I minimised my exposure. You don't know what lawlessness really is, you're mostly cottonwooled fools sitting in your igloo of delusion. Go out in the wild snow and fuck with the polar bears and icy conditions. Then come back and say you know anarchy and love it.

If not, at least look at documentaries about such areas.

For clarity that's a metaphor. The real gangsters are much worse than polar bears.

Tip from one of the lowest win rate debaters of the sites existence.

Sometimes they're trying to ignore or push you off of a raw truth. In this case repackaging and delivering it over and over is the right strategy.

Eventually I'll ignore them ofc. At least third parties reading it can shake their head at the ignorance. Anarchy with capitalism already exists. It's a gangster's paradise and applies to all such areas.

Adding adjectives like unequivocal, illiterate etc doesn't change the reality.

There is a reason you keep jumping to the Vietnam war which has nothing to do with this. The reality is that you can experience anarcho capitalism today. Right now. Travel to your nearest downtown slum region. Stay there and be sure to be out while the sun isn't high in the sky and to go down alleyways or areas others cannot easily come and help if you scream, not that they likely will if they heard you.

The difference between us is I am describing reality and it offends you so you need to insult me to cope and defend your delusion while I keep replying to your sidetracks and insult with cold hard truth.

But the world isn't Ancap, that is the key reason US gave up the war. The US people themselves didn't like the Vietnam war and began to see Vietnam as the good guys.
