Posted by one of my acquaintances that claims to be an ANCAP but also thinks Fucker Carlson has good ideas, and that trans people and poor people are ruining America. Also worships Elon. I hate these people.

        Idk, it’s a tough call. Ancaps support a governance system which will, by design, oppress marginalized people.

        Whether that’s worse than personally hating marginalized people is kinda open to interpretation.

        “I want there to be a perpetual oppression machine” vs “I want to do some oppressing”

          I think it’s better to be greedy and go “yay no more taxes” and not realize how large the detriments are instead of I HATE YOU WHY DO YOU EXIST

            ANCAP is not just “no more taxes”. They specifically advocate against any sort of regulation on business and commerce, thinking that “the free market” will self regulate all the bad stuff away. Regulations such as bans on asbestos, or making sure that developers build structurally sound houses, or even just “you have to actually do business with someone before they can charge you money”.

          Basically that yeah, combined with the fact that the stupidity required to not realize than an ancap society would lead to them personally being significantly harmed offends me on an intellectual level.

            This person also has no actual skills beyond common service jobs (not saying that is bad) but thinks the poor are the reason for his bad luck. Its baffling how duped they are by consuming social media (they love xitter as well, if it wasn’t clear)

        In fox news country this is a super common sentiment. I know people who were actualling having breakdowns a few months ago that in new York they were killing babies and also Kamala was planning to start ww3 and have a draft.

        Im dead serious. They absolutely believed it.

          On my last visit, a close family member declared that “Democrats are murdering babies”. “WHAT?!?” I told them, “That’s called infanticide and I can guarantee you that it is illegal in every state in the US and most of the developed world.”

          They later looked it up online and figure out it is not true.

          People I used to think have basic sense are off the deep end believing whatever shit they see.

            These (old) people are also terrified of Russia and putin, but think nothing of ut that drumpf is his best buddy. I cannot comprehend.

      They rail against the poor yet they’re 1 paycheck away from being homeless. Also they dont think libraries should exist.

      And they listen to Jordan Peterson all day. Im not for certain but they probably liked Andy Tate as well. I’d guess they do.
