Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... Rapture, a city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, Where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well.

Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his chattel property's brow?

I'm having mixed feelings. Are we going here or not? On one hand no censoring... On the other hand... No censoring. Also doom, but there's also doom here too.

the whole point of the game was to illustrate how dumb libertarians are

Perhaps. But I think I may have figured out their logic....... no bears under water. So they won't have to worry about bear attack while drowning from lack of maintenance

Giant squids are the bears of the ocean

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Hell yeah they are. Them's my boys.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Yeah, they wouldn't need to worry about bears, but I doubt the panic would allow them the time to contemplate the phrase, "No single drop thinks it's to blame for the flood" very much.

lots of leopards though

i doubt they'd have time to drown tbh, at depth a small leak is likely to cause immediate and sudden implosion, instantly crushing anyone inside. not sure how that would play out in a larger non-circular space though like rapture.

Yes! Everytime anyone says anything about Libertarians I bring up Keene, NH. A Libertarian utopia that was so awesome, Black Bears joined the fun and took over the town.

Grafton, not Keene. Keene did have some free staters, but the cryptocurrency sovereign citizen pedophile kind.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

Oh yeah! Grafton. Got those two mixed up lmao. They cut the towns taxes to zero and couldn't pay the garbage pickup. That brought the bears who proceeded to rule the town.

Holy shit they made SCP-2875 a real thing
