I cannot necessarily get your attention long enough to get you from A to B. What I can do is attack the comforting alternatives that you rely upon in order to maintain your fallacious faith in A until only B remains.

There is zero reason we cannot require warranty of due diligence against error, bias,wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism + deceit.
Either reciprocity=morality and is therefore fully testable, or you’re just saying there is no rule of law, and lying has replaced violence.

WEAPONS OF CHAOS
The best weapons in an urban skirmish are mace – to buy you opportunity, hardened and weighted knuckles – to give you extra mass and minimize absorption of shock, a lighter and lighter fluid – to create uncertainty, and area of effect damage, molotovs – artillery at a distance, and a motorcycle helmet for defense. You cannot be identified easily, your weapons are impossible to find easily, and and your opponent can be disabled (mace), routed (fire), ranged( molotovs) and killed (fists). Yet you preserve your mobility, and ability to sprint into attacks, maneuver, and to disappear. This supplies weapons at long, medium, close, and short range.
Understand that you are not trying to win so much as provoke escalation to the point where there is sufficient confusion and opportunity that you can bring real weapons to bear.
It is nearly impossible for a state to defend against mobile infantry that relies upon fire, because fire is far more dangerous than you are, and its effects far longer lasting.
Revolution today requires fire, ending power and data transmission, slowing commercial road and rail traffic, and overwhelming first responders. Once first responders are overwhelmed they become the next target of action. At that point the state must admit defeat call in the military, and all one need to is move action from on urban environment to the next.

When you are small you cannot fight to defend, fight to stop, fight to exit. There are only so many fragile regions on the human body, the human organization, the human polity, the human state, that you can attack with all your might, and end it’s agility(knees), action (jaw), thought (neck-arteries), air(throat), vision(eyes). The body is hard to kill. But a thing that cannot sense or move, can be killed with ease. The head and the knees on man, the money and the leadership of organizations, the information systems and illusion of control by the polity, the need for economic velocity of the state. Order is achieved largely by habit and self interest. Disorder is achieved by the simple fact of creating uncertainty and deprivation of information and energy (electricity).

WE? WHO ARE ‘WE’?
We are the people who fight, kill, ostracize, punish, perform restitution upon those who act as parasites upon the polity, upon the commons, or upon the private production of people like ‘us’. And if you wish to engage in political, institutional, normative, informational, commercial, or interpersonal parasitism, we will force restitution, punishment, ostracization, murder, or war upon you.

No. Then in my mind, we use force to perform restitution, punish(harm), ostracize(remove), or kill those who do not limit their actions to productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfer, free of imposition of costs either directly or by externality against that which others have obtained an interest by the same means. People will not happily cooperate, they will cooperate because it is profitable for those who enforce such cooperation to enforce it, and profitable for people who are the victims of involuntarily imposed costs, and unprofitable for those who even attempt to impose costs. In other words: rule of law, under natural law, the scope of property being demonstrated by acts reciprocity.
Now, go ahead and try to refute that, and I’ll eat you for lunch like pringles with beer.
I don’t do pseudoscience, or pseudorationalism, or idealism, or supernaturalism. I do science.
Now try it. Go a head. Lets see if you can hold your own without lying, prevaricating, or straw manning. ;)
btw: I never said the state is a market. I said the state is an error of corporatism. But that commons are necessary for the competitive existence and persistency of a polity capable of producing liberty. So, how can one produce commons while preserving rule of law, while preventing the rise of discretionary rule (a state)? I can answer that question. You cannot. You cannot because you allowed the problem to be framed as impossible – and developing excuses to pretend it wasn’t necessary, rather than solving the problem, or simply admitting you could not – as rothbard could not – solve the problem.

I don’t use a state. I use nothing but private property and rule of law, under natural law.
How will you create the commons of property rights if commons are ‘invalid’?
Well, someone would have to sue the mises institute for fraud, damages, etc. Which I assume would occur. But there is no ‘state’ to take action in the absence of private suit against those who distribute falsehoods.

Funny. I though my ”whole thing’ was to eliminate jewish marxism, jewish libertinism, jewish neo-conservativsm, anglo french and german pseudorationalism and pseudoscience, and restore empirical (truthful) government and a market between the classes using multiple houses of representatives chosen by lot.
But then with a name like (((Rose))) I suppose you are just another liar doing what liars do – whether lying by intent, whether culturally indoctrinated into lying, or whether genetic predisposition to lying. 😉 (bait)
Here is how to translate Rose: “I want a way to steal. I want to steal private production (jewish socialism), I want to steal commons production (jewish l ibertarianism) or I want to steal political production (jewish neoconservatism).
Conservatives just want to stop you from stealing. Anglo Libertarianism just want to stop you from stealing even a little – even including stealing by their own.

IN which case we will happily exterminate people like you who continue to advocate methods of parasitism. ;)

Just doing my job man: make our men understand that there is only one source of western civilization: the militia that prevents alternatives to contractualism – what we consider a condition of liberty, and what requires Natural Law. Government without Rule.

ARE WE A SINKING SHIP???
1) Take this same list.
2) Take the median gdp figure and median income of each.
3) Calculate the target median income and gdp necessary to reach second world middle class incomes.
4) Now, overlay that on top of this chart.
what wil you see? those places that think theya re getting better are so because they have so far to go, while those places that are already there, cannot go farther without extraordinary investment.
or stated another way, the others are catching up by consuming our institutional, cultural, and technological advances.
We are, on the other hand, in exchange for cheap goods, allowing our incomes to be exported (trade deficits) overseas instead of investing them in maintaining the advantage that we have held for 500 years.

THE MARKET FOR RECIPROCITY?
Yes we can create a market for truthful (non false, non-parasitic) political speech. In fact, it was the state that ended our market for truthful speech. Why?
…
Isn’t science an ongoing discovery process? doesn’t it function as a market for information, with career ending punishments for violators?
Don’t we protect against fraud and deceit in the market for goods and services – and provide special protections that PROHIBIT us from defending the market for information against fraud and deceit?
Didn’t we, for millennia, protect against libel(written) and slander(spoken), and don’t we grant special privileges that prevent us from using the course to protect ourselves from libel and slander – especially in large scale media? In other words, doesn’t the state PROHIBIT us from self defense against falsehoods?
Why is it that we cannot in private advocate for conspiracy (theft), yet in public can advocate for conspiracy (theft) as long as the majority of conspirators approve of the theft?
Why is it that we used to be able to protect the environment,and the commons via the judiciary, but the state removed our juridical defense?
Why is it that the state removed our juridical defense against members of the bureaucracy, the government, the academy, and the media?
Are you going to try to advocate that reciprocity (natural law) is not, in cooperation, the equivalence of truth (decidability)?
Or are you saying specifically that people should be able to violate reciprocity and violate truth in order to use large numbers to impose thefts using the violence of the government, in order to obtain by non-reciprocity and deceit, that which they might obtain by voluntary exchange, thereby depriving those who have one thing from obtaining another thing in exchange?
Just because you can’t figure out how to create law of information regarding political speech (forcible coercion) such that it holds to the same standards as market speech (goods, services, and information) doesn’t mean it can’t be done. In fact. it was done for millennia.
The question is why did the state take it away, and why can we not restore it?
