i have never read an incel forum where that was what they were asking for, so i feel a bit like you're motte-and-baileying. sure, that could be a net positive thing to do and within the realm of "redistribution of sex" but that's surely not what anyone is actually asking for.

Replying to @argumatronic
oh whoof i'm not saying we should give incels anything they say they want. i'm just mad at people reading robin hanson going "by redistribution i mean anything that changes the distribution" and responding with "redistribution means confiscation to me so you mean rape"

Replying to @chaosprime
but surely when people talk about redistributing income (to alleviate income inequality) the typical reading is "confiscating income" albeit generally via the tax code; i think he's written about this as well that "redistribution" means confiscation.

Replying to @argumatronic @chaosprime
The only ethical redistrubution of anything is voluntary, via individual choice in a spontaneously self-organizing society.

Here is an article "Libertarians for Redistribution" that I appreciated when I read. https://c4ss.org/content/12961 It is clearly the assumption of the author and most readers including myself, that the starting assumption is that redistribution implies coercion. That is what it means.

@kevin_bowen the point I'm making and that@argumatronic is making is that most people, especially libertarians (who think most coherently and unambiguously about this out of everyone) wold see redistribution as coercive. Hence an article like the above having to redefine it1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
and the appropriate thing to do when somebody says "i'm not using the term that way" is to say "no you meant what i decided you meant"?

No, but did he initially make that clear?

Chaos added,
Robin HansonVerified account @robinhanson"Redistribution" means "change the distribution". A great many who have commented can't imagine any policy options to change the distribution of sex access other than rape and slavery, and so accuse me of advocating such things. But a great many other policy options exist.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
