That is not significant a distinction for me to care to differentiate one from the other. They both are right-libertarian, are wanting laissez-faire capitalism with as close to zero oversight as possible, and are cutting taxes as low as possible by gutting public services. Whether one still wants to keep state-funded cops and fire departments is no longer relevant when the end results of both are corporate-nation hellscapes in my view.

Sorry, Bud. The names are mostly just advertisements and not necessarily useful for understanding the underlying philosophy.

American Liberalism (capital 'L') is fluid over time at best in its philosophy, and is actively shifting to further elitist interests from a less charitable perspective. It often prioritises corporations over people and cherry picks which cases of violence are or aren't acceptable by the state.

American Libertarianism (again, capital 'L') is Anarcho-capitalism, which believes the world would be a better place if the state was bordering on non-existent, and companies were allowed to operate completely unregulated.

Article in question. AP news has like 5 articles all about this single investigation.

The 'unrelated charges' were possessing fake IDs and an unregistered firearm.

'eat the rich' specifically means 'we should eliminate the existence of the rich - by any means.' so taxation works, but more extreme methods are not ruled out. It's entirely up to the rich on how they'd prefer to respond to this motive - and it's then up to the working class extremists on how they respond in kind.

Seems to be that while trade was helpful in the past, it is now an obsolete practice that creates power imbalances and should be abolished as a practice entirely.

The tagline they have on trade-free.org is:

"the ones who offer, should not ask anything in return

the ones who receive, should not have to give anything in return"

I'd argue that the emergence of capitalists and capitalist ideology, and the amassing of currency is just a natural tendency of currency itself. Currency itself is a tool of transactional thought, and I'd argue that if we could move away from transactional trade and focused more on mutual wellbeing, we could do without currency entirely.

oh boy do i have a new suggestion for you (I think it's mostly new, or not in common discourse). Haven't read through all their reasoning or evidence. It's just extremely out of left field.

Federated marketplace protocol really should happen at some point.

Like, it seems like a very clear solution to an online monopoly risk. Maybe I'm wrong, though.

I keep a boxcutter, pry bar, and a pair of tweezers in mine. I keeps maxwell's equations in my inner coat pocket.

fixed from 'pedalled' to 'peddled'. I've met a decent number of Marxist cyclists, so i could believe it.

i've created this alt in the interim of finding a more permanent instance residence. Just got exhausted by the massive amount of shit they peddled over there.

Psychopathy as a diagnoses is bullshit. People disassociate in different ways during traumatic events and as a coping mechanism for heightened stress all the time, and this reads exactly like that.

This does clearly show the kid is well-conditioned for being a cop, though. He seems like he'd be great at 'just following orders'. at the same time, he'd probably be good as a paramedic or a fireman too, since all those occupations require you to emotionally disassociate to get your job done effectively.
