(FB 1552522887 Timestamp) —“@Curt Doolittle do you not know what a Value-Added Tax is?”— Yes. It is a compound tax (many points of taxation), and a variation on the sales tax (one point of taxation), and like sales taxes is one of the most regressive taxes known to man, particularly because of the distortion it places on the world pricing systems. Conversely, an income tax is the most progressive because unlike sales or vat taxes it provides the least if not zero distortion of world pricing systems that work against the interests of established (advanced) polities. The superior alternative to VAT is import-export (trade) tax and policy, which fosters ingroup (home) trade. There is one reason to employ a VAT: in very low trust countries with very low tax compliance (greece, italy, china), it creates the greatest opportunity for state intervention into private industry thus solving the problem of asymmetric information enabling avoidance. I don’t make mistakes. It’s my job to help all of you folk for whom doing so makes you useful idiots to those who have destroyed our civilization thru confusing a temporary period of pre and post war wealth with a durable competitive advantage – one which we no longer have. And which folk like you merely assist in perpetuating out of ignorance. Stalin’s useful idiots still reign.

All the while lecturing him on his behavior. stops. then hangs around until idiot recovers. this is paternalism. This is what we have lost. Paternalism. Responsibility.

Imposing costs and free riding is a violation of the NAP. This is NOT the typical interpretation of the NAP. Part of the problem with the NAP is that it needs interpretation to function. Demanding reciprocity is objectively measurable, scientific.”—Noah J Revoy

(FB 1552596289 Timestamp) GET OVER THE NAP. IT MEANS YOU’RE A USEFUL IDIOT No. NAP looks like another semitic (abrahamic, marxist, libertarian, postmodern) pretense to reciprocity and rule of law, that (a) does not require reciprocity be earned, (b) retains the semitic means of deceit by fraud by omission enabling blackmail, enabling conspiracy, (c) (d) continuing the semitic method of baiting well meaning fools into hazard thru piplup and deceit. NAP is to Reciprocity as Labor Theory of Value is to Subjective Value, and as money proper is to money substitutes – it’s another fraud. Other things may look like reciprocity. But they are not. They are all substitutes for reciprocity because they are means of circumventing reciprocity. So since they are all worse than reciprocity, one must answer the question why one seeks something less than reciprocity, and as such why one seeks to preserve means of irreciprocity. I mean, we know why our ancient enemy wants to preserve irreciprocity – to preserve parasitism upon the productive people.
