Yes, that is one possible outcome.

Another is that dissent will grow and metastasize in the group and someone will rise and "give me power and I can solve your discontent". (which seems to be the "solution" in mismanaged countries in South America. Promise free stuff, if you put me in power.)

Hmmm... Didn't know that, and interestingly missing "s".

Yours; missing "f".

Does it have to miss one character?

@Phil Well, we know that the State needs a scapegoat, and sure easy to blame this corporation, rather than taking responsibility themselves.

The State is nothing more than a well-coordinated GANG OF PEOPLE with a incredible Marketing Department.

@god

Oh! It is a non-optional upsell!! Got it.

... since they seem to refuse my position to be valid; Non-aggression principle, individual autonomy, property rights and voluntary interactions only, then I can't respect their underlying ideology.

I don't think they can encourage all people to sacrifice all for a collective. I think it must be self-serving to the individuals for it to work.

@bonifartius

I have tried many times to get answers from ancoms, but most of the time they don't want to discuss principles. But the bottom line seems to come down to;
The ancom's argument is that "Property doesn't exist" and therefor the ancap position is not valid.

But that would, IMHO, mean that you own nothing, are a slave to the collective that you somehow are a part of, but not free from...
I can imagine idealists trying commune living in a free society....Cont'd

And this is part of my objection to "companies" in a free society. Corporation is a construct of the State, which leads to a lot of rot in society, which both ancaps and socialists can agree on.

Anarchists want the State to be gone, as we see it as the root of the problem. Socialists just want to control the State for their own good and bad purposes, such as ending corporations and subjugating/oppressing the populous..

Elon Musk is releasing info that Twitter colluded with government against the people.

So assuming that Twitter is guilty of criminal conspiracy with the State, then it would be funny to see a multi-billion dollar fine on Twitter for its crimes.

When is a company responsible for the actions of its employees, and when should actual humans be punished?

IF actual people were responsible, then we would see less of companies breaking laws. ATM, it is just "cost of doing business".

@paulrickards I kind of contest that those were "type writers". It was after all a microprocessor inside that controlled movement, and are there any "types"?

"Stand-alone plotter" would be a more accurate name.

My guess is that they also have a computer interface of some kind, or?

But cool tech!

@onan I worked for a WallSt bank for a while, and after 18 months or so, I was really tired of it, but the pay was good, very good.
Severance was pretty generous.
So for 2.5 years I tried to do nothing productive, in the hope of getting fired...6-7 months of pay if they did.

I even failed at that. Doing nothing. Boss in New York, I was in Shanghai, no one cared.

I didn't even have tasks to delay... Started work 3-4 hours before anyone else, went home at 3pm.

Eventually, I quit! #fail
