Idk how we're so sensitive to sexual consent as a culture but seem to completely lack the concept of economic consenthttps://twitter.com/HaveYouHadAbeer/status/1298816689749086209 …

I don't see how most people affected meaningfully consented to e.g. the 2008 bailout, which - combined with an enforced taxation regime and a fiat currency - actually transferred quite a bit of wealth to the "winners," in a way that was ultimately backed by state violence.

Oh we don't meaningfully live in a free economic world to begin with, thanks to regulations

Abstract general concepts like "consent" are only to be applied to *my* object-level issues. Treating the general and abstract as real and important across the board, is white supremacy.

Right-wingers already made this joke with "border integrity." Ironically, "political consent" seems more like a Libertarian focus, like the NAP

Theft and property damage are still crimes. But people are more important than property

Both Socialism/Capitalism are 0-sum, 1 requires money extraction the other voter extraction, at the loss to the customer/citizen on promise of future value/return. A relationship tho is suppose to be at the immediate gain/benefit to both, collaborative win+win, non-0-sum.

Capitalism is equity: Person who builds company gets the profit. Person who commits crime gets the punishment. Socialism is equality: Profit benefits all. Justice shared across society. Most people seem to be moderate & fantasize: Profit collective, punishment individual.

When basic logic seems to be missing in a conversation, it's probably not the real conversation. It's probably just an excuse for something decided for other reasons that people would prefer not to name.

If you want *everything* to be government by consent you end up being an ancap. I've learned "reasonable" people know consent needs to be violated in some ways (although you're not supposed to call it that).

I do think consent needs to be violated in some ways but I think it's a knob that can be turned much much farther down from where it is now
