    interesting.

    why the geo tho? i'm curious about the rationale behind it

    is the primary idea to create cash flow for social programs? either way, from a pragmatic perspective, private profits might do better in terms of lower prices and distribution efficiency than they would otherwise under bureaucracy and subsidized costs.

    - ur thoughts?

    Because he probably killed more bugs (indirectly) than anyone else during the entire movie

    Geolibertarianism is the concept that private property of common/natural resources (such as land, water, etc.) is detrimental to the idea of liberty. Instead of people owning land, they should be paying rent to everyone else for the use of it.

    I'm a nihilistic anarchist. If I had my way, there's a good chance none of you would be alive right now.

    i'm familiar with it (or aware, at least)

    in theory, as an alternative means of raising revenue, i'm all for it. think it'd be MUCH less self-serving and counterproductive than the current status quo. lol but how you actually put something like that into practice is a real head-scratcher?

    like what kind of recent proposed legislation would you have advocated out of any measure of said rationale?

    It's not intended as a revenue stream. It's intended to ensure liberty/freedom is preserved instead of being held hostage by corporate interests.

    It's not possible right now. Humans are too greedy and we do not have the culture infrastructure, institutions to make it happen.

    I don't have any illusions about my ideals being achieved in my lifetime. But I can still ***** about things going backwards like removing environmental protections and allowing companies to pour stuff into rivers.

    it's clever in theory, but actually being put into practice might be problematic--especially in a country evolved from landowners, no less. as well, aside from the immoral (immoral in my opinion, at least) seizure of property, i can't imagine any course of action that wouldn't involve the use of land restrictions--which in turn result in artificially high real estate prices.

    not a huge trump fan, but i do think the epa was overstepping its boundaries. a bit off-topic here, but i also think 'tangible' environmentalism has by and large taken a backseat to the polarized global warming saga, unfortunately. 100% with you on protecting our waters tho

    It would be more like how native American tribes managed land prior to seizure by Europeans?

    no one is trying to excuse what the europeans did the natives (specifically the spanish)... we still live in a rule of law. think this is a baby and the bathwater kind of thing - hope you'll agree

    and if every hypocrite kept their mouth shut, the entire world would starve to death (but calling someone a 'historical' hypocrite is even more of a reach)
