So you’re mad that companies sell fragile products? Great — then build a better one. Seriously. Nobody’s stopping you from designing a washing machine that lasts 30 years. Do it, sell it, profit. That’s how a free market works.
Complaining that life is expensive while waiting for the government to fix everything won’t change a thing. The world owes you nothing — but it will pay you if you offer something better.
So instead of whining, how about you create the solution? Or is that too much personal responsibility for one day?
That’s exactly the problem — you think taxes are some magic piggy bank that “gives back” later. No, taxes are forcibly taken from others under threat. Libertarianism isn’t about hating the elderly — it’s about rejecting a system where one group is entitled to live off another by law.
If someone paid into a retirement system voluntarily, I support that. But when you force others to subsidize people who didn’t plan ahead, you’re no longer helping — you’re stealing.
Honestly, from what you wrote, it’s clear you don’t even know what you’re defending. You’re just talking to talk.
You say people are "forced" to work for low wages, but that only makes sense if you assume they have no agency or choice in the matter. The truth is, wages are a reflection of the value the market assigns to certain skills and labor. If someone wants to earn more, the solution isn't to regulate and distort the market—it’s to gain skills that are in higher demand.
When governments start "correcting" markets, they usually create new forms of inequality and inefficiency. Competition is fair when it's free. The moment you regulate it to be “fair,” you give power to bureaucrats instead of letting individuals negotiate their own worth.
I don't know which country you live in, but even though my country is not socialist, I am not against the government paying salaries to disabled people. For the elderly, there is a thing called the retirement system. If you didn't invest for retirement when you were young, should my taxes feed you when you are old?
The game might be free, but without capitalism, there would be no game, no computer, no internet. The system you criticize is the one that made you possible.
