Can anyone other than cam explain to me what he is trying to say?

A decade ago cambo told me intel using their market share to bully retail outlets into reducing or stopping sales of amd was a form of legitimate competition

I haven't taken him seriously since then 🤷‍♂️

Except the corporations are fighting to cut penalty rates and other benefits right this very second..
Its not 1902, but they wish it was.
Gina rhinehart has already said australian workers should be more competitive with african workers who work for $3 an hour..
So she can make more profit..
Her net worth is 14 billion, and a lot of it is pure cash.

You want more freedom and less regulation for corporate monsters with no morals or empathy who's only goal is to increase share holder profits..
What on earth makes you think this would in any way improve the life of the average person?

Gonna get even worse once full automation comes around and robots join the competitive work force.

Already happening, my government is trying to force a union busting bill through right now and all discussion on the bill is banned.

Taxation definitely can be theft.

Taxation without representation is cause for rebellion.

Taxation is theft unless the individual willingly entered into contract with the government as a citizen.

Pointing to what was paid for with money doesn't justify the fact that it was taken from someone without their consent.

The question is still relevant. Do you want Police/Fire, Roads, etc?

Do you want and or need these? Do you think society as a whole needs these?

Property is theft as well. I don't consent to the existence of private property or tax laws.

My favorite part of this thread is page 1, where someone wearing a Bioshock sig spouts libertarianism.

Does not get better than that.
