So Authrights would be celebrating this, I guess, but not me.
If we had a truly free market, shit like this would be no threat since if bank A doesn't want you, you can choose from banks B through Z. But we don't have a truly free market. We have oligopolies where a small number of huge companies control virtually the entire market, such that it would only take the agreement of a handful of top people at these companies to effectively cut off whole categories of people from the banking system.
We see this in a more extreme sense with free speech online, since there are only a few platforms, and they're all run by the same libtard hivemind, so they always act in concert, such as when they all banned Trump.
It's a dangerous precedent, and the easy solution is a government law that states that LARGE corporations may not discriminate against any customer/user based on their politics, profession, or character.
"muh auth right"
How about you be fucking real for a minute and realize how many of those filthy cunts scream their support for Communism and dismantling the Western world.
I want them to taste the anguish and fear for their life and livelihood. They deserve everything coming to them, maybe the dumb broads will realize how fucking retarded they are.
And if not? Fuckem.
Nothing is "coming to them" because you authrights are never going to win or have any kind of power, so your revenge fantasies will always just be fantasies.
Dude is a coomer based on his comments
It'll never happen because the oligarchies buy politicians and therefore, protection.
If only everyone would work each according to his ability and take only according to his need. A "free market" is as much of a naive utopian pipedream as communism. Arguably even less realistic.
Someone will always have power, that power will always be used. The only question is WHO has power and HOW they are using it. And to accept that if you and people who are your friend don't have the power, your enemies will.
"Free Market" simply implies free of government intervention. Without government protection of industries, those who deserve to be in power could take power. Believe me there are plenty of moneyed people on "our side" who would start their own banking system and compete in new, creative ways if old regulations weren't holding us back.
You're right that it's a pipedream though, because government does exist and will never allow it.
Government IS intervention, you can't separate the two. Even the most basic stuff like contract enforcement or adjudicating disputes or the concept of property rights itself requires a government to insulate individuals against each other's arbitrary definitions of "reasonableness".
I don't disagree. Some forms of intervention are better than others. In this case I think we're talking about industry regulations and the relationship between oligarchs and legislators. I was simply replying to your implication that someone desiring a "free market" believes in no hierarchies or people holding power over others.
But I would add that I think "our side" seizing the means of control and wielding the power of government against our opponents, especially some kind of third-position revolution, is also a pipedream.
