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)
