    Libertarian reforms are supposed to be unpopular among people who lose from them, which would be everyone getting more than giving from taxation.

    Libertarianism is about individual independence.

    I just have doubts over how any libertarian would explain these events in particular, so going to search for some amusement in the few ancap TG channels I remember.

        That was in a comment comparing Japan to Turkey, so either you really failed to read anything else or you are expecting others to just believe you. In any case you are a clown.

          What you said is meaningless. Japan isn’t just unapologetic, they’re actively denying that they committed war crimes. They’re also governed by fascists who actively want to build the military back up, so “peaceful and harmless” for now maybe.

            i don’t wanna um actually and in no way do i think the current and prior administrations at any level which could be said to hold office has completely vindicated themselves (as i understand is the case as it is said from countries which were majorly affected, e.g. china and south korea)

            i do think it’s important to know the sequence of events and that there was something that some people might point to as “aha! we did apologize, what else do you want!!?”

            I’m not the one to determine if a proper apology has been made, though I like to be informed what such folks might think and what the perpetrators likewise think, oh, and the history or sequence of events.

            I pasted a condensed timeline here, source is wikipedia:

            1957: Prime Minister Kishi Nobusuke said to the people of Australia: “It is my official duty, and my personal desire, to express to you and through you to the people of Australia, our heartfelt sorrow for what occurred in the war.”

            September 29, 1972: Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka said to the people of the People’s Republic of China: “The Japanese side is keenly conscious of the responsibility for the serious damage that Japan caused in the past to the Chinese people through war, and deeply reproaches itself. Further, the Japanese side reaffirms its position that it intends to realize the normalization of relations between the two countries from the stand of fully understanding ‘the three principles for the restoration of relations’ put forward by the Government of the People’s Republic of China. The Chinese side expresses its welcome for this” (Joint Communique of the Government of Japan and the Government of the People’s Republic of China).

            September 6, 1984: Emperor Hirohito said to President Chun Doo Hwan: “It is indeed regrettable that there was an unfortunate past between us for a period in this century and I believe that it should not be repeated again.”

            NOTE: This one is so lame, i don’t know what the original is (i’m assuming it’s translated) and this seems so watered down, especially because HE WAS ALIVE THEN ARRGHHH AND IT WAS DONE IN HIS NAME ARSDFLJKGSDKLJF

            July 6, 1992. Chief Cabinet Secretary Koichi Kato said: “The Government again would like to express its sincere apology and remorse to all those who have suffered indescribable hardship as so-called ‘wartime comfort women,’ irrespective of their nationality or place of birth. With profound remorse and determination that such a mistake must never be repeated, Japan will maintain its stance as a pacifist nation and will endeavor to build up new future-oriented relations with the Republic of Korea and with other countries and regions in Asia. As I listen to many people, I feel truly grieved for this issue. By listening to the opinions of people from various directions, I would like to consider sincerely in what way we can express our feelings to those who suffered such hardship” (Statement by Chief Cabinet Secretary Koichi Kato on the Issue of the so-called “Wartime Comfort Women” from the Korean Peninsula).

            August 10, 2010: Prime Minister Naoto Kan expressed “deep regret over the suffering inflicted” during the Empire of Japan’s colonial rule over Korea. Japan’s Kyodo News also reported that Cabinet members endorsed the statement. In addition, Kan said that Japan will hand over precious cultural artifacts that South Korea has been demanding. Among them were records of an ancient Korean royal dynasty.

            The trend is towards lameness I think. Even repeating the words someone else said before (to honor them or something) would be nice as what was said before seems to accept way more responsibility and, crucially, acknowledges the specifics of what happened.

            None seem to mention the ‘presumed supremacy’ and ‘pan-asian empire’ that I think drove some of the ideology. I don’t know what else to call that kind of obfuscation besides cowardice.

        Well, politics are like this. “Stability and anti-fascism” in Russia, “democratic” North Korea, and now a “libertarian” police state in Argentina. Names matter very little.

        Can’t avoid touching on the subject of this instance:

        USSR was also:

        “socialist” (with only state-controlled unions and job appointment for 5 years by distribution you couldn’t refuse after university),

        “Soviet” (with Soviets controlling maybe some local funds and a bit of logistics at best)

        and a “union of republics” (which broke apart the moment its central government allowed some autonomy to those),

        and half those “republics” are still governed by the same people\families\clans 30 years after.

      All taxes ultimate came from the working class who is the one that produce everything. The rich people getting a bigger tax break,on the rare cases this happens, is just a small correction from all the surplus value they capture.

      Individual independence is a nonsensical concept in this context because humans are not independent from one another.

      Private property as a concept is incompatible with individual independence, because its existence is itself dependent on some form of collective agreement. “Ownership” only exists when a group of people agrees that it does and sees a need to enforce it.

      Libertarianism, in practice, is entirely aware of the dependencies between individuals, and what it really is about is tipping the scales in favor of property owners, maximizing the power of the strong over the weak by removing the state’s role as an equalizer and instead turning it into a sole enforcer of private property, at which point it is functionally indistinguishable from fascism.

        I get a feeling that person doesn’t know the distinction between personal property and private property.

      lmao so basically admitting your ideology is predicated on tyranny and the dispossession of individuals for the benefit of a powerful few

      I just have doubts over how any libertarian would explain these events in particular

      Translation: You don’t know how to flower up your disgusting anti-individual rhetoric without rightly coming across as a hypocrite and sociopath lmao
