PARCEL #102 LONDON TUBING EDITION

[heydaralon]

Smitty are you a Keynes fan? I'm guessing not, but do you think his policies work for getting countries out of a Depression?

Well, two questions, one, do I have the reserve currency and so can effectively print gold, and two, can I anihilate all my competitors in a total war so my state is the last man standing?

I'm gonna go with yes if the US and no for everyone else, though this might be a trick question.

Not a gold bug myself. Fiat is fiat. Now if you're talking about a community all having silver coins to trade you're on to something. In the event of disaster I guess. Gold is welcome to.

Then yes, King Dollah can Keynes the shit out of that bitch, no problemo. Go ahead and make the military budget 10 trillion dollars and bomb everybody except Russia of course into the stone age, wot?

There was some rich dude who lived out west or in Texas who telling everyone to buy gold because the world economy was about to collapse. This was a few years back. I remember those videos. Maybe they were ads on the side of websites. I forget his name.

Probably that sovereign citizen guy that was making a case that taxes weren't constitutional and died of cancer in jail. W/e

See, the issue with Keynesianism is that it postulates that nobody ever has to pay the bill, but somebody does have to pay the bill of course, and those are the somebodies which the Keynesian Welfare-Warfare State comes up with justifications to bomb into the stone age, see how that works?

[heydaralon]

Those sovereign citizens are goddamned hilarious. Its not just white people involved in that nonsense either. There was some black lady squatting in a house in memphis who using the sovereign citizen defense. There are some of those folks in Canada too. Those youtube videos are spectacular.

Well, I thought Keynes was not big on the whole enemies-pay-the-bill thing, because wasn't he the dude warning about the Versailles war indemnity ramifications on Germany?

Yes.

And it's always the working class cattle that feed the socialists.

At least capitalists give us a break sometimes.

Thing is, if they is a sovereign and there is no Westphalia, then everything simply comes down to force, so if someone says "I am a sovereign, not bound by the laws of men, divine right of kings I claim", if they don't have an army standing behind them, then we should just go ahead and shoot them on the spot, my sovereign is Queen Elizabeth II, we are HM army, I'm not seeing your army about King Joe, bad idea to wander off without your praetorian escorts, so... *BLAM*
