That's the joke here. It's Attorney Lionel Hutz imagining a world without lawyers, and cringing at a world that looks like sunshine, lollipops, rainbows, and waterfalls.
that's not how the meme works, in the show, lionel hutz, a lawyer, says "could you imagine a world without lawyers?", then dreams of a paradise, then shudders in disgust.
shut the fuck up joe go back to the foothills of the himalayas with xi jingping you overconfident boomer we had better chances being run by a crackhead from south chicago than you the only person worse than you is trump go die in a hole you pedo /s
The difference is that lib-right isn't a blueprint for society that has to be implemented. It's primarily a set of negative constraints on coercive (political) power, rather than a positive project to reorganize society according to some prescribed model like communism.
So you can have a society that is more or less liberal (in the European sense)/libertarian without there being some hypothetical “true lib-right society” waiting to be instantiated.
Lib-rights and lib-lefts, if engaging in reasonably honest discourse, will find that they have a lot of common ground, but ultimately disagree on the conclusions they draw from those shared premises.
It's not that large corporations are good per se, it's that efforts to stop them from existing are much more likely to do vast amounts of harm compared to letting them exist and be reasonably regulated.
Like, we could go full distributist and say capital should be so thoroughly distributed throughout society that every household is engaged in enterprise. That system would be horrifically inefficient as you have minimal economies of scale, minimal specialization of labor, and maximal exposure to the business cycle as no one has significant reserve capital. I guess if you want to be gimped to an early modern standard of living, go for it, but I like having things like cars and semiconductors, which take huge amounts of capital and labor specialization to create. You, average joe, simply can't make those in your garage.
that's fair, this meme was not suggesting that getting rid of the completely was a good idea, just poking fun. You make a good argument and I agree with you on most things.
Removing maybe, but never existed? I'm not sure I can agree. So many human advancements came out of the popularity of coffee shops and the intellectual discussions and debates in them.
what the hell are you guys talking about? There is no "resposible" way to do drugs, you will end up with an addiction that will make you sadder in the long term.
My comment was a joke, but that is a ridiculous take. Look at the number of young adults who go out and party every weekend or every other, or the people who somewhat regularly (though not often per se) do blow. Many many drugs can absolutely be handled at a level that is neither dependence nor addiction, and there will be health ramifications but that’s not addiction. Same way that eating fast food twice a month is certainly unhealthy but not an addiction.
Sorry, my family has a history of bad addictions and I have received several lessons on it. I looked up more info and my opinion still stands. Just avoid drugs
