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.

If you take libertarians seriously, just remember many (if not most) of them think 1990s Somalia was a success story.

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

strongest libertarian versus weakest National Socialist
