The only way to be

- Some poor bastard out there has a stepping on fetish, and you've just gone and ruined it with a trump hat.

'Anarcho-capitalism' is basically an oxymoron. You can't have a capitalist society that is anarchist (=without a hierarchy) because capitalism inherently creates a hierarchy of some sort.

- Not the government yet
  
  And any possible pseudo government has to compete on the free market with all other possible pseudo governments, just like feudal lords used to compete with each other. You have to trust in the invisible hand that this is, in fact, a good thing

As a former ancap, this is pretty fucking accurate.
- What led you to change your views?
  
  I was always ideologiclly left libertarian and wasn't old enough or smart enough to realize that the right-wing commentators reccommended by YouTube's algorithim weren't consistant with my views. They really wanted us to hate minorities and women for some reason. They would lie and/or cherry-pick data to make their fucked-up world view sound reasonable.
  I felt like such a goddamn idiot when I realized I was made the fool by absolute human trash like Milo Yiannopoulos, Gavin McInnes, Charlie Kirk, and Blaire White. I think this video is what finally snapped me out of it. I don't know if this video is any good. I haven't watched it in quite a while.
  I'd like to think I'm a lot wiser now and less likely to trust, for better or worse. I still feel pretty guilty about that period of my life but I was young and impressionable I guess. In high school I had a gay, punk rocker friend (now identifies as a trans woman) who put up with me for some reason. Why, I'll never understand. She said "If it was anyone else making those jokes I'd be concerned" or something to that effect.
  I eventually realized I aligned ideologiclly with socialism and communism (not the tankie kind). Just last week I learned who Hasan Piker is and I've been watching him alot. Also happy to see iDubbbz is woke now. Anyway I'm in a much better place now and always working on improving myself.
  I'd be happy to answer any follow-up questions.

This is not quite genuine.
Anarcho-capitalists generally don't like corporations, either, they just believe that the state plays a crucial role in keeping them afloat, through patents, bailouts, and corruption. They commonly believe that without the state, the markets will generally revert to many small individual actors.
This is unlikely to be true, however, as the economies of scale by themselves heavily reward massive corporations, and private police and military will likely allow them to stronghand their opponents.
If we are serious about promoting left-wing ideas, we should take our opponents as they are, and not build strawmen for ourselves to ridicule.

All the Silicon Valley techbro ancaps are just openly fascist now.
- That’s the fun part: they were never ancaps at all! Even that incorrect conclusion would have required reading and curiosity.
  
  I'll go farther - ancaps don't exist. Actually existing ancap-ism is always either neoliberalism or fascism.

As soon as school lets out the ancaps are going to be very cranky about this!
- Private schools though I think they'd have a problem with the public ones.
  
  Plenty of clever boys at well-funded public schools have an ancap phase. Most of them grow out of it.
  “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

You just need to be smart and figure out a way to exploit others. That's how these ancap startup founder people think. They believe in a primitive, strength based societal hierachy. They are empathy-less assholes who strive to become the biggest asshole in the jungle.
- Lol, I worked for one these assholes once. He bought the small public accounting firm I started my career at.
  He loved to go on and on about "business is a warzone, you must be ruthless" bullshit, liked to make it really hard to get any PTO approved or obtain new hires.
  Before he came along, I had built an entire database for that business even though my job role did not require it, simply because I got tired of doing things the stupid way and the previous owner made it worth my while.
  One day, the asshole new owner pissed me off when I asked for time off to go camping and denied it citing business first, so I simply resigned on the spot and took off to the mountains. He was like "you can't fault me for putting the business first" and I was like "whatevs, I'm putting myself first".
  Stupid motherfucker called me all week, dozens of times each day, because nobody but me knew how the fuck you build and maintain a database.
  My coworkers, who are still my friends to this very day ten years later because they are awesome, regaled me with tales of the clusterfuck that ensued after my departure. Turns out, it's really hard to find someone with an accounting and a computer science degree.
  I still cackle to this day.
  
  Post worthy, satisfying revenge. Flesh it out with some of those clusterfuck stories pls :D
  
  And herein lies the core of the issue of "business is a warzone/you need to be ruthless/social darwinism shit"
  It's in the business' best interest to treat their employees well
  If you have no allies, who are you left with?
  
  Iconic.

i like AdamSomethings 3 part video series of simulating Anarcho Capitalism
https://youtu.be/HTN64g9lA2g
- That was a worthwhile watch. Thanks.

Curtis Yarvin be like: "What if government was Government inc., and it was AI driven?

Governments could easily get Ancaps on board by renaming themselves to Government, Inc.
- I think that's what the US government is trying to do.

Nah bro! You see, I'll be invested in the corporations so their success is my success, and furthermore the market forces that definitely won't be manipulated by the most powerful players will ensure that things are so much better, and the illegitimate use of violence has never occurred in the history of private enterprise ever, and they're also making plenty more land and natural resources so duplicating efforts is not problematic, and separate will be as equal as people can afford, and we're definitely also all starting from a place of utter fairness! Like, if anything I'm starting from behind! My allowance is only 100 bucks a week and Eddy down the street makes 200 with his job at McDonald's!!!!!!!!!
- Kinda hurts that this is how one of my friends literally argues...

No that's not capitalism, that's corporatism which is totally a different thing trust me bro! ^/j

The thing capitalism has is, it offers ordinary people the possibility of getting rich. All you have to do is sign up like in olden times by joining the crew of a pirate ship that can use an extra hand. With a little luck you might find yourself a fat slow treasure laden ship and all you have to do is take the loot.

If buying aint owning then piracy aint stealing
- You aren't purchasing a loaf of bread, only the license to eat it!

Anarcho-capitalism, radical neo-liberalism, unfettered capitalism, call it what you want, in the end it’s basically a breeding ground for monarchism. When you give money all the power in the world you just replace kings with billionaires, unelected rulers backed by private armies.

At least there would be no copyright or trademarks.
Also I am meta corp, please paid the overdue invoice.
Also, we have annexed mega corp local shoppe and confiscated all inventory. All inventory is 90% off, this a fire sale; we're burning this mother fucker to the ground at midnight.

Which can be translate like, I don't really like sex, but I can't keep apart my holes and those huge dildos.
