lolbertarians are some of the dumbest people on earth.
okay, let’s say it is “crony capitalism run by the state” (he doesn’t mean state capitalism, he doesn’t know what that means)
what else can capitalism become, especially without extremely strict regulation and wealth/income caps- all things these people are against? and to the extent that the state has its hand in the economy, is it not ONLY to benefit corporations? they’re not regulating these companies or anything to any meaningful degree. so if the government is bad because they only serve big business, even in their own completely nonsensical analysis, doesnt that still make capitalism the problem?
Seems like our modern-day problems are never problems with capitalism itself, but problems in the past were problems with socialism.
Lolberts would make great Sorkinites and would have loved The West Wing
“The system can’t fail! Only be failed! Liberal democracy good and free market good! Why? Because middle school said so! Anyone who dares question it is either a rube who is too stupid to understand my genius, or a loser jealous that the all-knowing system ranked them low!”
Yes, they are that condescending. They unironically think they’re omniscient and anyone who disagrees with them is too stupid to understand their genius.
