What is the deal with authoritarians and learned helplessness?

I love that he is still going on but totally dodged My point about the libertarian conflict with the family unit.

I'm just going to reiterate My earlier point that nobody has ever invoked libertarianism for a righteous cause. OP made this thread specifically because he was ass-blasted that other people didn't like scalpers and scalping.
 
Humans do not really have free will or agency.

It just appears that way, because a human creature is very complex mammal with a very complex brain.

In the end, the decisions of a person come out of 3 main factors.
-Genetics.
-Stimuli.
-Past data.

These make up a system of very byzantine chemical and electric control mechanism. However there are so many variables that it appears to be random.

But it is just an illusion. Just see how Cocaine effects the Balldo. His brain is marinated in alcohol and cocaine and he does exactly as these two factors compel him to act.

The Lawpope really has no choice, his brain receptors go ding ding, he gets the sucky sucky on stream by his crackhoe.

If there is a determinism in the ideas we accept, then you are determined to believe in determinism while I am also determined to believe in free will.
Since the human mind is not free to think and come to conclusions about reality, it is absurd for you to try to convince me or anyone else of the truth of determinism.
If you want to win others to your way of thinking, you must write as if you yourself and at least your readers had a freedom of choice, while all the rest of mankind are mechanistically determined in thought and in conduct.
Plus, if our ideas are determined, then we have no way of freely revising our judgments and learning truth, whether it's the truth of determinism or of anything else.

Libertarians will never have Unity of purpose it's an ideology of individualism the individual will always be destroyed by a collective of individuals who strengthen themselves to better serve the collective interests of the society

Free-market Capitalism is liberalism. I thought we hated liberalism here in the Autistic Thunderdome?
"Liberalism" has been co-opted by communists and it now means "mentally ill authoritarianism"
... in the anglosphere at least
Outside of the anglosphere, "liberal" still means freedom-oriented
... except lazy dipshits who just import all of their opinions from the USA are starting to complain about "liberals"

Dim-bulb commies at the left end of the horseshoe are no more Liberals than weird men in ugly dresses are women. Admittedly, this is coming from someone who still uses the word 'romantic' to mean any strong emotion outside of just 'eros'.

I deeply sympathize
That said, ultimately, it is simply imprudent to use the English word "liberal" without qualifiers like "classical liberal"
Or "libertarian", because that's the logical next step after classical liberalism

The important thing to remember about Kiwi Farms is that we are all about authoritarianism so long as it is "Team-Red" and "Christian" coded authoritarianism. Otherwise, any complaints about using force to silence one's critics, science denial, and child abuse are really just a Mottle & Bailey.

I disagree with this notion of "we"
Thankfully, it looks like more and more people are realizing that the philosophy behind this authoritarianism is deeply flawed and contradictory

I was (foolishly) hoping that by mimicking (badly) a Trad-Con authoritarian, I could make the right side of the horseshoe see they're a mirror image of the left. I'm just too stupid and lazy to pull it off.
 
Still wondering how non-disprovable praxaeology explains CWC, furries, faggots, trannies, pooners, or OP's mom. Or OP.
That's because you're making the error of trying to reason with the unreasonable, lolberts do not (spiritually) inhabit the same world as the rest of us, it's why WORDS WORDS WORDS is the answer to every ethical dilemma and how WORDS WORDS WORDS is the solution to why muh state is evul just read these WORDS WORDS WORDS they''ll explain everyth-*clicks gun.
The absence of state power is not some ideal to strive for, it is a mere vacuum, that is invariably filled; you might as well attempt to empty the daytime sky of light.
