They're not big fans of 'infinite diversity in infinite combinations' either.

Well, basically you have 3 types of people. Humans. Painted humans, and humans with prosthetic foreheads on their real heads.

Then you have SFX aka gods.

Thought the first rule was “Greed is eternal”?

Rule of Acquisition #1:
Once you have their money, you never give it back.

That's it back in the wormhole with you

The socialist utopia that is Earth is a dystopic story for them. It's like one of us reading Brave New World.

Remember: Ferengi exists. In germany many call our libertarian party - FDP - Ferengi Party.

How can you be a libertarian on lemmy? There aren't any children here

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 5 points 11 months ago

But they aren't pedophiles! They're ephebophiles, which it totally matters to argue about the differences!

No, but if you go by reading age, I can pretend pretty easily. Much more ethical source for my kicks than actual child predation.

Is this the US libertarian which means ancap or the rest of the world libertarian which is a socialist?

[–] pedz@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Yeah. Libertarian is not only a thing for the right. There are libertarians on the left too.

[–] FluffyPotato@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Mostly on the left actually, libertarian only refers to ancaps in the US where it was co-opted from its original meaning for socialist with anti state leanings. Ancaps basically don't exist outside the US except for rare and lone individuals so it's still has its original meaning in the rest of the world.

They don't exist out there? Fuckin' lucky you. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Nah, the Prime Directive is all about staying out of other people’s business.

Yeah I know y'all read LOTR, yet none of you are anarcho-monarchists.
