So the 14 year old can consent to sex but can't he trusted to make good decisions with the resulting 10 million dollars until she's almost finished her bachelor's? What internal logic is this whole thing operating on?

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 80 points 10 months ago

it's the reactor core of libertarianism: property is more important than people

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago

Hands off the trust fund! It can’t consent until it has matured!

[-] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 65 points 10 months ago

What internal logic is this whole thing operating on?

You start at "I want to bang 14 year olds" and work backwards from there

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 90 points 10 months ago

honestly presenting ethical questions under capitalism in this way makes it abundantly clear why the marketplace is the enemy of humanity. if there is someone who has the means and intent to do something like this, the only acceptable answer is to kill them and redistribute their wealth. nothing else comes even remotely close to solving the problem.

Let's say a billionaire wants to watch 456 poor people from Korea compete in winner-takes-all blood sports until only one participant is left, that winner receives ₩26.9B. All participants agree. Should this be allowed?

As long as the media reports on it by saying "this is literally what they do in the north" while it happens exclusively in the south.

Yeah this guy is a pedo for sure

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 68 points 10 months ago

People who should be legally incapable of giving sexual consent:

  • Minors.
  • Prisoners viz their guards.
  • Anyone considering sleeping with a libertarian.

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 30 points 10 months ago

The last one is really more of a catch-all, since most libertarians seem to only be attracted to the first category.

He's president of this bullshit libertarian antiwoke think tank https://www.cspicenter.com/about

He is connected to university of Texas and his fellow think tankers are employed at university of London and Cornell among others. This seems like a slam dunk to flag a bunch of people in these august institutions and ruin this asshole's day libertarian-approaching

"I'll set you up for life if you just let me have sex with you" is coercion no matter the age. You can't consent to that, not when "no" isn't really an option.

I've read about this happening in Philippines except its in hundreds or at best thousands of dollars and the girl's "consent" is never involved. Only parents.

Wretched of the Earth excerptIn its decadent aspect the national bourgeoisie gets considerable help from the Western bourgeoisies who happen to be tourists enamored of exoticism, hunting and casinos. The national bourgeoisie establishes holiday resorts and playgrounds for entertaining the Western bourgeoisie. This sector goes by the name of tourism and becomes a national industry for this very purpose. We only have to look at what has happened in Latin America if we want proof of the way the ex-colonized bourgeoisie can be transformed into "party" organizer. The casinos in Havana and Mexico City, the beaches of Rio, Copacabana, and Acapulco, the young Brazilian and Mexican girls, the thirteen-year-old mestizas, are the scars of this depravation of the national bourgeoisie. Because it is lacking in ideas, because it is inward-looking, cut off from the people, sapped by its congenital incapacity to evaluate issues on the basis of the nation as a whole, the national bourgeoisie assumes the role of manager for the companies of the West and turns its country virtually into a bordello for Europe.

Once again we need only to look at the pitiful spectacle of certain republics in Latin America. U.S. businessmen, banking magnates and technocrats jet "down to the tropics," and for a week to ten days wallow in the sweet depravity of their private "reserves."

well anyone willing to pimp their children for millions is probably desperate enough they'll go lower. That's just the free market

this logic is why the market is evil

[-] raven@hexbear.net 33 points 10 months ago

Should this be allowed

That a known pedophile should have been given free reign to keep sex trafficking and in fact be given so much power and wealth that he could even theoretically have done this? Yeah it's kinda fucked up that we let it happen.

[-] ikiru@lemmy.ml 31 points 10 months ago

Hmmm. This is a tough one.

I'm gonna go with..... ~~kill Epstein again!~~ I mean: "No, male." Final answer.

I love that trolley problem where there's no one on the track and you are just asking if I would derail public transportation for no reason. It's so easy to answer!

Count on creeps like that to constantly come up with elaborate scenarios where something horrible that they want to do is now okay. guts-rage

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

This is like 80% of anime, inventing contrived scenarios where incest, pedophilia, sexual assault, etc are not only fine but required by the situation

This is “nuanced” and “philosophical” to them.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I can't think of an anime series, no matter how awooga libertarian-alert hypersus scared-fash , that hasn't at some point had someone on Hexbear making Thermian Arguments for how the show isn't condoning the hog slop being dished out to hogs, whether it's "because magical video game world rules, slavery this one time is okay and good actually" or "showing the JDF utterly obliterating a fantasy world with tacticool weapons and colonizing the fantasy world while at the same time militarily crushing every other rivaling military force in the contemporary world isn't actually advocating for Japanese nationalistic supremacy because reasons" or even "genocide is okay this one time because according to these Thermian Arguments the beings being genocided aren't intelligent and don't have feelings which is totally not an argument typically made by real life genocide enjoyers." morshupls

Not only should this not be allowed, Epstein should be tortured to death and also everyone who answered yes to this poll. Hypothetically, of course.

[-] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 25 points 10 months ago

I was honestly a bit surprised Epstein didn't get more defenders from the AnCap crowd, but it seems most of them have gone Q-pilled. I guess Epstein being a Jewish metropolitan rich guy didn't help, now if he had been some steak eating Texas oil baron...

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago

The tactic pedos seem to be using is to virtue signal extremely hard against Liberal pedophiles as cover. The ones just openly admitting support for pedophilia are the dumb ones who aren’t hip to the program

[-] s_s@lemm.ee 24 points 10 months ago

"To what?" Is the all-enlightening preposition.

You've probably heard "States rights to what?"

Now the libertarian version:

"Freedom to what?"

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
