Lets ask the lynch mob assembling right outside our door.. voting to turn us into chandeliers..
Srsly, free market autism fully go and all that, but maybe a trace of survival instinct? Like not every place on the planet is SF. And not every place on the planet wants to be shanghai and Dhubai, were the rich do as they please? And money as a protective shield can rapidly devalue in a crisis?

[...] So you're basically saying that that economic or moral justifications don't matter, and all that matters is how others feel? I guess that's true to some extent. If there was a bolshevik resolution tomorrow I'm certainly not going to advocate for free markets, but this line of reasoning is utterly toxic for rational discussion. It doesn't matter what's right or wrong, just whether you will get lynched for it or not.
- PicassoCTs 3y agoThere is a economic point were the fabric of society breaks down and some parts of the world go through that every day. All those philosophic and law-debates vanish behind that point. The law might return some day, but even then, usually a amnesty is declared on the past, so those alive can focus on repeating the mistakes that propel this loop happily ever onwards.
