I grew up in a time where America was much as he describes. One block from my house were three small family owned grocery stores and a few blocks further were family restaurants with good affordable meals. I do miss that.
Supposedly this guy is an anarcho-capitalist becaause he has an ancap symbol at the beginning?
OK, cool, I'm an ancap too. And this guy was so retarded I only made it about 2 minutes in.
Dumb fuck can live the life he wants by buying a farm and NEVER leaving it. He'll find out sooner or later that his 3D printer can't make an MRI machine, and if he wants that tumor out of his head, he is going to need a civilization with roads, because MRI machines come from a long long way away and it requires a complex global supply chain to build.
It's not just that the roads make the MRI machine cheaper. It's that without roads, there IS NO MRI MACHINE.
That's what trains are for. I listened to the whole thing. I think he makes a good point about interconnectivity coming at the cost of dependence. Would we have all the problems today if not for globalism? I may rather die from a brain tumor than see my kids grow up in a zoo.
Nah, here's what he isn't getting. The Amish figured out how to Anarcho-Capitalist. But the trade off is, you don't get a civilization that advances past the horse and buggy.
EVERY proplem he describes can be solved with personal responsibility. Something he SHOULD be for if he's an ancap.
We already live in a post-scarcity economy. There are people, like this guy, who will over indulge and they will be wiped out. And then there are the people have self-control and will be able to moderate his intake of "modernity". He will survive.
Yeah, I get the roads meme. I'm an AnCap. Doesn't change the fact that the argument he made was fucking retarded, unless you want to be an Amish AnCap. Public or Private, it doesn't matter, if there are no roads, the "Cap" part of "AnCap" is restricted to the point of being retarded.
I like being an AnCap with access to ripe fresh strawberrys in December. The Amish AnCaps can put a shotgun in their mouths.
