I guess it's not much of a stretch between "force you to buy health insurance" to "force you to buy Israeli stuff"

We're talking about people who think that every dollar belongs to them. It's never your money to them. I mean they did create the money supply.

In the Harry Potter universe, the gold that all the Wizards use is created by the Goblins. HP Goblins believe that there is no such thing as buying forever, only renting until you die, at which point it's supposed to return to the original craftsman. All the gold comes with a serial number on it identifying which Goblin created that particular coin so their proper owner can be found.

Maybe JKR really was trying to suggest something about someone.

Why don't wizards just turn lead into gold? Maybe that's why they need serial numbers. To keep their currency scarce.

Because the world building was shit, and never made sense.

In universe, it's implied (by the existence of the philosophers stone) that you can't turn things to gold without that or other similar rare/lost magic though.

Yep. In the indeterminate amount of time after his parents left school, they amassed a fortune large enough that Harry never had to worry about money. He has enough that he never really thinks about it running out, and it certainly never comes up in the story.

Isn't that mostly from gifts, donations and from the bounty paid to the Potter estate for the death of Voldemort, paid largely from the coffers of the former noble families whose last remaining heirs were killed by him, like the Monroes? (Although I forget if that family name is canon, or unique to HPMoR.)

I don't recall any of that from the main 7 books, which is the majority of my knowledge on the series. If JKR mentioned any of that in interviews or elsewhere, I never read it or heard of it before now.

I don't want to give her too much credit. Gobbos are definitely jews. If you make em bankers people are going to draw the parallels more readily. But they always were that.

Neither criticizing Israel, nor making it illegal to boycott Israel is actually illegal in either case, in any state. As it says literally in the very picture here.

The BDS movement is a political movement by Hamas, the PLO, and Hezbollah and has been for many years; and like always: most Progressives are taking their marching orders from one bad faith actor or another. Hence, why the states are passing laws preventing the participation of state funds to support the BDS movement.

For your real life, you may, at any time, refuse to buy anything made in Israel. You may also criticize the state of Israel at any time.

This was not the case for Health Insurance, up until a few years ago when SCOTUS correctly ruled that the Health Insurance requirement under Obamacare was effectively a tax on the general population due to it's coercion, which it was. Hence why it was repelled.

Thus, you are allowed to both not buy something from Israel, and not buy health insurance.

"The Libertarian Case for the State Disallowing Boycotts"

You're still allowed to boycott Israel. Again. You always were.

Should they be getting government funding is the question. And the answer is no. Also, we should continue to government funding as well.

But you must believe in some government or else you are a full on anarchist retard. You're therefore still making "The Libertarian Case for the State Disallowing Boycotts."

Sure for the military to repel boarders.

The state's not disallowing boycotts. The state's just not funding companies that are participating in them. The state isn't required to give people money.

That's the state doing as much as it can get away with to stop them. It's blacklisting companies for ideological reasons. It's the state enforcing a particular viewpoint by favoritism. Would you support the state blacklisting companies unless they give money to say, pro-tranny organizations?

permalink parent save report block reply

It's blacklisting companies for ideological reasons.

No, it's blacklisting companies participating in enemy action. BDS is not an organic campaign, but a specifically hostile action using the domestic population of the US as a weapon against an ally, fostered, funded, and organized by both terrorist organizations and hostile governments.

If the BDS movement was targeting Canada instead of Israel, with everything else the same, then I would remain completely comfortable with stopping the US governments from funding enemy action. Frankly, it would be more important to do that because Canada is a closer ally than Israel.

Would you support the state blacklisting companies unless they give money to say, pro-tranny organizations?

Different issue. This is, again, about refusing to give state funds. Not black-listing. No one is entitled to state funding (of which funding should be severely reduced). Anti-BDS isn't compelling anyone to actually make a transaction, your example is.

That hasn't been the case since the US Government contracted General Electric to electrify the country. Everything the feds do now is a grift or lowest-bidder garbage. There's a reason why "good enough for government work" went from a positive connotation to a negative one.

Because the the White Nationalists are simping dhimmis for Islamists because they hate jews. Also because White Nationalists are still Socialists.

Actually, kind of, yeah. This is explicitly refused by the picture. I don't know why people think that you can't not buy Israeli products. I think I'll leave this up to show that it's wrong, because there might be some people that still think it's true. I've heard this a lot from Leftists as well.

I don't know why people think that you can't not buy Israeli products.

If you don’t sign an oath swearing to never boycott the chosen ones, you physically cannot get a government contract in those states. In many industries that’s a death sentence.

It would be better to not have laws like this, but they're also one of the only avenues available through official courts and governments to attack communists that makes them suffer actual consequences, so it doesn't bother me too much.
