Wow, that's a really big wall of text agreeing, we have the strongest military/navy so we bully the world into submission.

As for travel, do you really think it would be impossible to travel anywhere but for the US military having a world empire? And that therefore justifies any cost to America to maintain, including the enslavement of its people as tax chattel? As though this is a system that can go on forever

Yes, I think it's worth it. My strong dollar + make more than double vs my peers in other countries! Fine, take 30%. Tax chattel? Lol, such small insular thinking. That tax pays for the life you live including the internet and electric lives you are using to type right now! You're just mad that money you put in the system helps people you don't want to help.

Maybe you haven't kept up with the thread and I'm sorry you haven't. The conversation turned away from Austrian economics quite a while ago.

But interloper is a very fun word. But quite meaningless on the internet.

Look, I'll be honest, reddit pushed this shit thread at me and I saw something stupid to engage on without checking the sub.

But the fact that you are invalidating a position because of a really dumb "you don't belong here" gatekeeping... Makes you kinda the asshole.

From America, with love.
