Man, I can relate to this. When people start DMing me about a video "debunking" me, and then I look it up, and it's some teenager's misinformed psychotic episode. One of them went the extra mile, and actually made a wojak of me, and plastered it on the thumbnail and all over the video. He found the wrong person however, and accidentally turned a guy called Adam from SomeThingElseyt into a wojak, thinking that was me. Shortly after he had a mental breakdown and deleted his circa 50K sub channel. Fun times.
lmao
Yeah if I messed up that bad I’d have a breakdown as well. Hope they feel better and stop being deranged someday
What did you think about BadEmpanada’s video?
Hilarious at every turn
While you have had some good and bad takes, I'm definitely in agreement that hit pieces are generally bad faith and dishonest and are used as a political weapon a majority of the time.
The biggest surprise of the video is that this libertarian didn’t at any point attack age of consent laws. Technically this automatically makes him better than 99.9% of other libertarians

The fact that he thinks it's unethical behavior to steal a loaf of bread when you're starving tells you everything about his worldview and the society he wants to construct.
Well technically it is unethical to steal, but it is understandable behavior. The ethical behaviour would be to ask for the bread in exchange for something else. For all you know, that person you stole from needed the bread more than you did. If both are starving and you had bread only for one person, the ethical dilemma would be who dies and who gets the bread. Edit: to maximize positive liberty the two starving man should negotiate who gets the bread like a lottery or contest and/or a way to divide the bread. But yes, if you steal a bread from someone who has plenty, to maximize positive liberty would be to get some of that bread for yourself, if the person who has plenty is not willing to part from it, since you need more that bread. But stealing would still be a violation against the others liberty. I think maximizing positive liberty you need functioning democracy and participation. Not just voting, but city councils, neighborhood meetings and other things that increases communication and active participation in the rules negotiation process. So some kind of participation systems in all aspects of society, whether it is in government, corporations, organizations etc.
If something is bad it's bad, you can justify it but that doesn't make the act of taking what isn't yours "good".
Good vs Bad isn't the same right vs wrong.
Hurting people is bad but it might be the right thing to do in a situation.
Literal Javert.
Thing is our society already follows this logic. Our society murders immigrants for the crime of existing.
@@yunusahmed2940What? Is this some bizarre attempt to split the difference between deontology and utilitarianism? That makes no sense.
No action has inherent moral value. Only the outcomes determine whether something is good or bad.
In the UK, its always heartbreaking to see doctors being forced to work for free 😞😞😞
Yeah, the rate of homeless doctors starving to death in the UK is unbelievable!
That's why you see an angry mob of citizens in Sweden, Canada, S Korea, who take over the streets protesting for the freedom to pay for healthcare out of pocket.
/s
pfp fits so well here
@@Jartran72oh yeah that dang snail from the movie Turbo!
they aren't working for free.. a doctor makes good money anywhere. Doctors are something that is needed everywhere, because the RICH also need doctors, so they'll always have a good job
I love how these guys are against the government setting regulations, but a franchise sets restrictions and they will lick the boot of economos.
They're conservatives. Conservatism has layers of contradictions.
If you uphold the status quo you are always going to be contradicting yourself
@@BleedForTheWorldConservatives who like pot and maybe bussy.
Because companies are beholden to other companies in a free market. A company has the legal right to pay their employees dirt and have shitty working conditions, but they're not going to do it because better companies will pay more and have better working conditions, so everyone will want to work there instead of with the shitty company. It's basic economics that leftists are too retarded to understand.
@@BleedForTheWorld Conservatives purposely hijacked the libertarian movement because it was a threat so they put out tons of propaganda to convince people that conservatism was like libertarianism even though they are total opposites in many ways and now most people just look at libertarianism as a joke.......mission successful for the conservatives
"Everything is slavery, except for actual slavery, which is perfectly fine" - Every libertarian.
"Working in a prison camp for free isn't slavery" -Every commie.
"Outlawing slavery is authoritarian!"
"Being owned by an organization under the threat of death isn't slavery, but working for someone voluntarily is!" - commies
The slave market is a market, so it can only be good. If it wasn't good no one could profit off the market for slaves. It's so obvious when you equate ownership of property with freedom
@julesdalli9716 Iv literally read in the past deranged libertarians make something akin to this. Where they think that the US government shouldn't have ended slavery by force and that the south should've been allowed to be independent and "eventually" end slavery on their own. That they're more offended at the death toll the war caused over the human suffering that occured under slavery which they think should've happened longer if it meant a war could have be averted 😂
His line about a starving person throwing ethics away to not die is the perfect demonstration of how little Libertarians actually understand ethics
True. Does this guy even go outside? Like, does he walk among people, talk to people? He sounds very sad, like he has been isolated from everyone
Or communism. Or freedom. Or taxes...
Stealing is stealing regardless of reason. Cope and seethe commie
And how much they view humans as disposable lumps of skin and bone.
Not like you showed how much you understand ethics yourself
"People being forced to work to fund your livelihood is slavery" so is he against corporations?
Right libertarians always complain about "collectivism", so here's a reminder that capitalism, businesses and corporations are ALL diffrent forms of collectivism.
Collective groups and institutions that demand you work or sacrifice yourself to support them.
That kind of critical thinking would require that this guy have more than 2 brain cells
But in ancapistan, they will have the option to starve rather than working
There is no coercion if one simply starves to death!
I have broken your comparison.
@@antarath517
technically, you can also not be taxed if you don't have revenue/wealth in a welfare state.
I mean, a lot of people don't get taxes, they simply are too poor for this
And regarding VAT, again, there is no VAT if you don't buy something, so just rely on yourself or charity.
The point that taxation is slavery is dumb when you realize that you are not forced to provide the value that is taxed either.
You just need to, like you need to work, in order to survive, but it's true too for ancapistan x)
They usually are but their arguments against corporations are just weak as hell.
I love the libertarian mantra about how taxation is just the poors stealing from the businesses, when billionaires are unironically welfare queens. American corporations receive insane amount of money from the government through subsidies, bailouts and tax breaks.
To be fair they are usually against corporatism but their criticisms of it are just weak as hell.
@@ryanosterman2651 you're gonna summon the ancaps lmao
@@outercat we all know how the arguments will go so I honestly couldn’t care less lol
@@ryanosterman2651 The thing about the corporatism argument is that for most capitalists, in this case being individuals who actually own capital, don't rightly give a shit if what they're doing is "real capitalism." Government handing out free money? Cool! Regulations that weed out the competition? Perfect! We're a monopoly? Exactly what we wanted! These supposed virtues of a truly free market stand in direct opposition to the true nature of capital: Move upward. Libertarians who blog for a living think the Free Market is a big game of sportsball where all the rules are supposed to be fair. You think Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, Gates, Buffet, or any of these successful capitalists care about playing fair? No, but that's why they're so good at capitalism. It's childish.
Capitalism is theft. In order to make a profit, a business owner has to pay his employees less than the value of his labor. The capitalist then pockets this free money, which he got simply from owning things.
Also, money is made up. So is private property. Morally speaking, the capitalist doesn't have any right to his factory or whatever, and the only thing stopping the workers from seizing it is the coercive power of the state. So the capitalist actually owes a lot of money to his silent partner, the state, without which it would be impossible to make all of this money. It goes beyond subsidies: the state pays for police, roads, internet, education...like 80-90% of what the capitalist needs is paid for by the state.
Libertarians take completely artificial systems and pretend they are laws of nature, so that they can ignore the massive interdependence of modern societies, as well as "justify" conditions that any sensible person would consider appalling. I guess it helps if you're incredibly stupid, like this dude appears to be.
"Libertarians are like house cats: absolutely convinced of their fierce independence while utterly dependent on a system they don't appreciate or understand."
At least cats are cats
@@jacobnoelle8428 And at least cats actually love you if you treat them right.
Cats are cute, funny and loveable. Libertarians not so much.
Except cats are enjoyable to be around.
As a former Libertarian, this is absolutely hilarious and sadly accurate. 😂
I CANNOT believe he thought that positive and negative liberty were mutually exclusive, like if you had the resources to be truly free, that means you MUST have rules to limit that freedom? I would expect nothing more from a libertarian
Pure dogma, no philosophy knowledge
This is kinda the "pure capitalism" mindset, where any intervention in favor of the common people is communism
They're rival concepts. It's not saying that YOU can only have one or the other, it's saying that together, they are a zero sum game. Positive liberty as a right requires negative liberty to be decreased for someone else. Maybe it's you, but more likely it's someone else.
It's like double entry accounting. A debit in on account always means a credit in another account.
@@samuelmerkel2888 that's wrong though and a complete misunderstanding of the philosophical concept.
@@samuelmerkel2888who’s negative liberty am I decreasing, when I utilize my city’s public parks or libraries?
"Positive freedom grift" Ah yes I love it when philosophical concepts established for decades are actually just fronts for me to uh... purchase their books? Get taxed by an individual? Huh?
Decades?? This shit goes back to (at least) to Kant in the late 1700s.
@@juliusseizure591I'm still reeling with the fact that 2016 was 7 years ago, my perception of time is very warped.
Well this is actually pretty simple. For conservatives, social welfare is the “greedy poor” taking from the “working man.” It’s the undesirables trying to cheat the “capitalistic meritocracy.” Now, how does the oppressed have the political clout necessary to make the government work for them, I have no clue but that’s essentially what they believe. That’s why they consider welfare to be a grift
@@juliusseizure591Rare Kant W, as opposed to his morality take which is "live in abject paranoia and religious totalitarianism".
Edit: Apparently he defined freedom as the ability to perform... Duty? No wonder he ended up with a twisted anti-sex, religious ultra-conservative Arbeit Macht Frei take. Never mind.
Just add grift at the end to make any concept sound like a conspiracy. The intersectionalism grift. The social capital grift. The round earth grift.
I used to work for a "libertarian" -- Mr. Pull Yourself Up was the son of a well-off diplomat, had servants, private schools around the world, and schmoozed with fabulously wealthy people, marrying into a billionaire family. He bullied me about not affording to split the bill for his $150 meal when all I could afford was a $6 bowl of soup.
Free market libertarians really do think that inheriting wealth is a mark of superior intelligence. No wonder they're all nitwits.
"You know what I make, you shouldn't have to be reminded that I can't afford that."
So basically another Ben Shapiro? Born wealthy, gets stuff handed to him, and then walks around thinking he lives in a meritocratic society.
That's not kind of him, but that's not an issue with the ideology
@@crazando It is an example of how the wealthy gaslight us with all the lingo. He sounded just like all the talking heads who mean "safety net for me, rugged individualism for thee."

Sweden is 45% richer (per capita, after inflation) than it was when they began building their modern welfare state in early 1970's. If the welfare state is "eating the fruits of capitalism" then my man- Swedes have been gorging on it for 50+ years, and they still have more to eat, than they had when they started.
When you "eat the fruits of capitalism", you stop being hungry and can get more work done and generate MORE fruits.
When you mention that the libertarian generally just takes the mask off and starts acting like a white nationalist, talking about Muslims “invading” Sweden.
They don’t fare well with economic mobility figures
If you bring that up to libertarians they'll just say it works over there cuz they white, effectively revealing the fact that they just dislike socialism cuz they don't want brown people to not be poor
The fruits of capitalism are extracted through exploitation. Nothing wrong with sharing those fruits around, and letting the working class get a few extra bites of the pie.
Through redistributing from the top to the bottom wealth can continue to flow through the economy enabling an eternal cycle of capitalism without devolving into fascism.
Would road laws and cars be a better example of positive and negative freedom? If you drop 1000 cars on a flat plane (a driveable surface for this analogy) with no road laws, turning lanes, or stoplights, every car would be able to drive however they want. They’d have negative freedom. However no one would be able to get anywhere. Cars would be crashing into each other and traffic pile up.
On the other hand, let’s say you build a highway system with proper road laws, where drivers must go in one direction and follow rules when it comes to turning, changing lanes, etc. each individual driver has less freedom, but they are able to travel to their destination in a timely manner without getting into a wreck. That is positive freedom.
I always like the argument libertarians make that charity should replace taxes and the social safety net, because I don’t know a single libertarian that would willingly donate to a charity. Libertarian ideology is basically “I got mine and you can f*ck off”
Also, when has charity actually solved any issues, instead of just helping a tiny fraction of the people who need help?
also its the female and normie attitude towards incels.
Nah, we'll be fine, we just all have to collectively hope that Mr. Beast pays for all of our medical expenses every time on a systemic level across the country multiple times a month or people will die.
No big deal.
Anyone who makes that argument is knowingly BS'ing you.
Charity serves a great purpose, but no one ever fixed poverty by giving away the extra cans of soup sitting in their pantry. There are an insane amount of people either living in poverty, or who are homeless. Charity can't reach out to every single one of them. Hence why govt welfare is essential.
Also, those who are _most able_ to be charitable become that way by _being_ the _least_ charitable. 🤨
I know I should hate fascism more. But frankly, Libertarians hit some very specific nerves in my body that makes me enter fight or fight mode
No shame in that. When push comes to shove, American libertarians end up supporting fascistic policies and politicians because they like existing capitalism more than they hate the state.

what are you referring to specifically?

Did you just lie? lol how sad are you
People seriously need to learn what interdependence is and how it interacts with freedom.
The myth of the "self-made" Randian hero is too essential to the capitalist delusion for that. Something something when a man's job is not to understand...
But it's more fun to own the left.
the funniest part of the video is how he plays a clip of Vaush saying "its a base philosophical arguement" which is to mean its had all variables isolated. And this dumbass misquotes him just a minute later saying "as Voosh said, its a based philosophical arguement"

Hear me out... What if we created a subscription service where doctors are paid a salary based on the size of the membership, but the subscription is collected and dispersed by the government, and the membership is everyone living or working in the United States ...? ??
doctors are paid based on the amount of money the government makes from people paying for treatments, so yes that is how it works already
maybe if we get everyone in the country to contribute to this gofundme campaign ...

Edit for clarification: I'm referring to the weirdly smoothed pixels. The palette is original to the game and, tbh I don't mind it too much. I kinda like how psychedelic it looks, it really helps it to stand out from the rest of the series. I can see how it can be a strain for the eyes for some though. There's romhacks out there that make it a bit more muted iirc.
True.

For Kant, freedom is the capacity to do your duty, which in the 20th century we understood as the capacity to follow your desire
Well, the problem is that the original take is nonsensical then, which is undoubtedly why it's been adopted by every Christian fascist out there who wants to grift and say that freedom is found in obedience, work, and gratitude. The interpretation there is the overly charitable steelman that doesn't constitute overt schizoposting.
@@FelisImpurrator That's not a serious view of "duty" because why should I listen to someone telling me what to do? Or why them and not someone else?
@@FelisImpurrator I agree that freedom is to be found in obedience and compliance, but only into a community that you've entered voluntarily and accepted their terms, or developed the terms collaboratively
@@txikitofandango I completely disagree. Obedience and conformity are some of the greatest weaknesses and sources of harm in the human psyche. Freedom to obey is not freedom, it's a paradox. The mindset of submission to either a powerful individual or the group has led to just about every mass slaughter and war in history. Unacceptable.
Freedom is freedom to pursue one's benefit, or self-interest... But! The key flaw with right-libertarian and Objectivist thinking is a failure to understand that self-interest is not selfishness in the conventional moralistic sense. What you want is not always what you need, after all. The key insight provided by Marxist and post-Marxist analysis is the simple and enduring fact that acting in the collective interest more often than not tends to be one and the same as acting in self-interest. A rising tide lifts all ships. Interdependence is a fact of life, all the way up to the ecological level.
One person alone can't do everything, and is thus less free to do whatever makes them happy or maximizes their well-being. So by improving the well-being of others, and ensuring the free flow of resources to where they're needed, logically one is serving one's own interest by ensuring other people's ability to provide better and more stable access to goods and services; and one does that, usually, either by also providing or by simply not obstructing others, depending on ability. In other words: From each according to their ability, to each according to their need.
In addition, though, efficient use of collective labor creates surplus. This serves as a safe buffer for emergencies as well as a source of additional quality of life beyond subsistence needs, or in more accurate terms, it satisfies what people need to thrive rather than merely survive. So if a society can support such it should ensure people have access to those surplus resources as much as possible, without necessarily demanding more of individuals who may have limited ability.
This is all perfectly encapsulated by self-interest. There is no need to resort to deference and submission, "willing" or otherwise. It's as simple as - helping others helps you, so it's better to do it. It's better to set aside the expectation of any level of affection or empathy or group conformity. Think of it this way: Some people maintain their cars out of love and passion. Others do it because they simply understand that a well-maintained car is the best at meeting their needs. Only an idiot thinks a car doesn't need or "deserve" maintenance but uses it anyway.
Unfortunately, irrational factors such as tribalism, dogma, and intuitive moral conventions can throw off this equation and lead people to act in ways that serve neither themselves nor others. This is why the only good or desirable rule is a necessary one, whether to prevent avoidable harm or ensure effective best practices. It's not enough for people to agree or consent; people can be ignorant, stupid, simply mistaken, or coerced implicitly through means that aren't overtly violent but are dishonest.
@@FelisImpurrator Freedom to obey is plain Christian theology. "You have the freedom to refuse but then you'll go to hell"
"I always feel so silly engaging with libertarian arguments because a lot of them are teenagers."
I remember back in 6th or 7th grade, I want to say world history? I can't remember the exact class. Anyways, the teacher had us do an easy math work sheet that had a hundred problems on the front, stuff like 2 + 2 = X, 2 * 10 = X, etc. He gave us like 5 minutes to fill out as much of the paper as possible. He said, "I want you to do as much as you can, but everyone will be rewarded the same." After the time limit he had us count up all the questions we answered, some of the dumber kids had like 10 or 15 answered, others had 40 - 50, I seem to remember myself getting like 80 or more because I was a "whiz" at math, there was even a couple of kids who picked up on the "everyone will be rewarded the same" and didn't do a single one. Afterwords the teacher said good job and gave us each 1 piece of candy. When asked why everybody got 1, even those that did really poorly, or none at all, and those that did really well the teacher said, "Hey, that's socialism for you!"
We then did it again, flipped over the sheet which had another hundred math problems. This time he said, "I want you to do as much as you can, but THIS time, I will reward you for how well you do." After the time limit he gave us a piece of candy for every 10 we got right. "This is capitalism," he said.
That one lesson informed my political leanings for YEARS. It wasn't until I actually finished a year of college and started actually doing my own research, really questioned my own beliefs, that I started to change what I thought was right and wrong and what taxes were and what not.
I was basically a standard issue right wing libertarian until I actually cared enough to do my own research. Now I am an anarcho-syndicalist.
That line from Vaush, "I feel silly engaging with libertairians because they are teenagers," feels so real and could have easily been used against me when I was a teenager.
What did you learn that made you against capitalism?
@@crazando hm, a tough question, I don't think there was any one thing that did it for me. It was a long and slow process. I don't know if I would say I'm 100% against the idea of capitalism in general, though I think there are better systems. I don't know if the U.S.A can ever realistically move fully away from the system we have, and I don't think violent revolution like the tankies want is the right call. I am more interested in improving the situation we currently have with no real end goal, there are always improvements to be made. I think Unions are the best way to improve our situation without intrinsically changing what we already have. Seems like very strong co-owned Unions with government regulation oversight is the way to go. It allows us to improve what we already have while putting us into a position that could conceivably switch to a better system if enough of the population is able to overcome its own hangups about socialism.
What do you mean dumber kids? Not answering well on a math test doesn't equal being dumb. Some kids aren't dumb enough to fall for libertarianism, I guess you're just one of the dumb kids.

hes talking about the epitome of storytelling.
THE POINT

And sometimes vaush makes a coconut analogy.
The intentional misunderstanding of healthcare is infuriating
When dealing with libertarians, how do you filter "intentional misunderstanding" from mere incidental stupidity?
The government pays for your healthcare with taxes = Whipping and enslaving black people 🤓
@@khill8645
The healthcare thing is usually a good benchmark, actually. A smart libertarian would see universal healthcare as the government protecting the right to not dying of being poor.
But your average libertarian will whine about how poor people have too much freedom coming at the expense of profiteering insurance companies. In this case they’re just stupid and unable to really think about how things work.
But your below average libertarian is just “government bad.” That is intentional misunderstanding.
Its not a new week without the usual Vaush hitpiece 🎉

I love the complete inability to engage with your own priors on display by the libertarian. For instance, "obviously, some people having more money than others is better than everyone being poor" -- by what metric? Last time I checked, "poor medieval village" wasn't a subgenre of dystopia, but "futuristic city with extreme wealth disparity" was. Or correctly identifying that positive freedom sometimes means infringing on the negative freedom of others, but failing to recognise that positive freedom is necessary for any form of human cooperation to function (for instance, making a contract with someone limits your negative freedom to not fulfill it).
Poor medieval village IS dystopian.
Feudalism is the logical conclusion ancapistan as it's a society when people are under absolute control of a lord owning everything and some people are even tied to this property (the serfs)
similar to how a cyberpunk dystopia work with mega corporations.
It's not a genre of dystopia because science fiction writers try to describe future problems (Totalitarian states with 1984, usage of biotechnology for creating a cast system with Brave New World, or out of control capitalism and technology with the cyberpunk genre), not past problems like feudalism.
Also, both "everyone being poor" and "some are poor, some are rich" are bad. The best system is not the one with people being the richest, or the one with the least inequality, it's the one where people that are the worst off are better off that in any other system.
Like if system A is : everyone dirt poor
system B is : 80% are dirt poor, 19% are middle class, 1% are fithy rich
and system C is : 30% are somewhat poor, 50% are average and 20% are somewhat well off.
The system C is the best of the tree (altrough not ideal), as it's the one where the wost of off society are also better treated.
Altrough an ideal system would both maximize equality and sufficient amount wealth (which is what progressive advocate for). with would be system "D", which would be creating a new type of society.
But a system that distribute equally abject poverty is not that much better to a system that is highly inegalitarian (also it's not coherent, because a truely egalitarian society would be democratic, and therefore would be able to rise to higher standard of living), because if you are starving, you can't benefit from equality. (and ultimately authoritarianism will rise again, either because your society fall into fascism, or because you are simply invaded by a richer and more powerful neighbor).
egalitairan yet miserable societies dont make sense, as preople in an equal society would democratically make decision for the betterment of themselves, which would raise the standard of living for everyong.
Only way to a society to be equally dirt poor is for someone to be above all others (eg North Korea), which is by definition, not egalitarian
For the second part about positive/negative freedom i agree.
@@wikipiiimp9420Poor medieval village isn't dystopian in a vacuum, it becomes dystopian once you include the feudal lord into the picture, who represents a level of wealth and power that isn't found in the village proper.
My point is that the general driver of human suffering is rarely natural conditions; usually, it's extreme power inbalances between some parties that result in most damage towards the population. If "everyone is poor", those imbalances do not exist or are greatly lessened, which means that there isn't really a way to construct a system of oppression that we would consider dystopian.
Also, I never claimed that everyone being poor was good. By all means, it's still a wretched existence; however, a few people being extremely wealthy and everyone else being poor, which is the logical conclusion of libertarian philosophy, is significantly worse.
@@HunterTracks i don't really understand how some people being wealthy and all others being poor is worse than just all being poor. i mean, the less people who are poor, the better.
also, i watched the video of the guy you keep calling libertarian and iirc he does bring up how there is a balance you need to strike between positive and negative liberties and that it's a debated topic. you should probably watch that video instead of just watching vaush's take on it if you didn't catch that and i remember it a month later
I hope not all socialists believe what u just said. So u prefer everyone was poorer rather than richer with wealth disparity. You probably would be ok with the US turning into a third world country as long as billionaires and millionaires werent in the US anymore.
"Positive freedom is just wealth." And negative freedom is just taxes.
I'm sorry but I can't imagine a person this simple existing despite listening to him for a half hour.
There’s a 2016 paper by Lewandowsky and Oberauer that found that believe in free market economics a la libertarianism was the strongest predictor of conspiratorial thinking and science denial, because it’s all just rooted in anti-government sentiment. That paper was very formative in my views on libertarians and has explained a lot of their behaviour. (At least, for online libertarians, since the survey was a self-selected online survey)
I once broke the brain of a Libertarian by asking him how the government could print money without levying taxes to pay for printing it. He fell into babbling about a system of barter, which devolved into basic socialism after two moves. This is how flimsy their ideology is.
There is no barter under socialism, since barter is specifically trade between individuals and their private property. Nations/collectives don't "barter" with each other.
@edanan9897 Is this a non sequitur? Or did you read "international trade" somewhere in my post? I'm not sure why you said this, other than as a fun fact.
You may have stumbled across a libertarian who isn't overly certain about their beliefs. A more confident one might actually say that we should live in corporate towns, where legal tender itself is privately owned.
We don't need fiat, we can use gold or Bitcoin. Now get me to socialism with that?
@@crazando That's fiat with extra steps.
Wow, that fraternal aid bs sounds like taxes, but instead of going into social programs and country projects, they are used to sustain the failsons when their "business" goes into gutter.

This guy randomly appeared on my recommended a few weeks ago and he's your run-of-the-mill "anti-woke" UA-camr. No actual arguments or sources, just vague allusions to "wokeness" and some imagined hypocrisy, strawmans and memes.
Edit: Also I just have to chip in about the argument at 21:29. Whoever made that graph is literally just pulling numbers out of their ass and assuming that most of the money collected in taxes goes to paying the employees and bureaucrats who collect the taxes in the first place, which is completely false.
The U.S. spends more money on healthcare than other developed countries but still has worse health outcomes, and every dollar that the IRS spends on auditing the top 10% of taxpayers yields $12 in revenue. We literally _make money_ collecting taxes, with only a fraction of a fraction of your taxes going to pay for the tax collection itself.

@@ulthanesmorkumsshhh you’re gonna hurt his brain.
Any argument that makes the case that taxes are theft and slavery would also condemn wage labour, stolen and exploited labour value, imprisonment and capitalism itself for also being forms of theft and/or slavery, but I'm guessing that he wouldn't accept all of that (although to be perfectly honest I would be able to easily accept that.)
The logic doesn't apply. On taxation you are forced to give money for your work or other things without your consent.
But with wage labor you explicitly consent to it
@@crazandoYou consent to being taxed by virtue of existing in modern society.
Assuming you aren't a silly teenager, you probably currently pay taxes. Seems pretty consensual to me.
Vaush is really good at strawmanning and seemingly deliberately misrepresenting libertarian viewpoints, and the libertarian guy in the video is genuinely bad at actually properly representing libertarian arguments.

Libertarians will cry, "But the government is always corrupt." And I'm like, "Okay, so you want to make it worse? An unreliable counter measure is better than none at all."
