Hello, since I presume that everyone here is familiar with how incentives in reference to the economy and the goverment's involvement in the economy works, especially the unintended incentives it creates. You guys know how strong those incentives can be. How it can change society over time.

I was wondering, if you also recongize that also incentives in the social sphere (not purely economical) have exactly the same deep effects on society?

Like how first, second, third wave feminism fundamentally changed the West. Creating the Incentive that a wife can live seperate from her husband by leaving him, but still dependent on his money. Mass-Immigration of foreign non-european cultures into european cultures which significantly lowered the social trust in the West. How it breeds criminality, creates parallel societies, gated communities.

I was just wondering, if you recongize that and if the goverment should reverse some of those things or maybe create better incentives. This is my own personal opinion or definition, but to be a truly right-wing, western goverment, that isn't just "conservative", whatever that means, the goverment should be deeply aware of the nature of incentives and how destructive, but also benefical they can be to society.

That's all, stay fresh. Yo! This was L. to the I. to the T. GermanAnon for you.

Right.

Not for the better, but right.

First of all, that's not purely social at all. Third wave feminism along with many cultural marxist (or at the very least, phenomenons that would broadly be considered Cultural marxist in general nature) are ultimately the result of public schools and government interference with education. Along with this is the government's laws on divorce as well as the cushion that government offers to women who divorce. There's a good amount of hefty literature on irrational behavior in regards to marriage, the family, etc and how it's been fueled by the state. I'd recommend you look at it. There's a fantastic book by Charles Murray called "Losing Ground" that talks about this trend and how government has been involved every step of the way.

>was just wondering, if you recongize that and if the goverment should reverse some of those things or maybe create better incentives.

If the problem was government in the first place with it's involvement in marriage, it's programs towards single mothers which help fund their lifestyles, so on so forth, why would I look to government for an answer? Why should I be forced or have others be forced to pay for laws that would supposedly create the broad stroke of "better incentives"? Why is there the implication that there won't be unintended incentives? Remove welfare programs, let people make rational decisions for themselves and their interests and you wouldn't have as many individuals making the short-term actions that they're making now.

> This is my own personal opinion or definition, but to be a truly right-wing, western goverment, that isn't just "conservative", whatever that means, the goverment should be deeply aware of the nature of incentives and how destructive, but also benefical they can be to society.

Most governments are aware of how incentives work, it's just that those in government use them to their self-advantage to gain more power, whether it be gaining more voters or more money for their programs (or even very blatantly towards themselves or companies that they have an interest in.)

>I was wondering, if you also recongize that also incentives in the social sphere (not purely economical) have exactly the same deep effects on society?

I have recognized that years ago. It's easy to underestimate non-material incentives when you're just starting out with libertarianism, but I think most realize it fairly quickly, especially in our current climate.

>I was just wondering, if you recongize that and if the goverment should reverse some of those things or maybe create better incentives.

Yes, if we need to have a government, it should strive to create a moral climate.

No, this does not mean the government should decree morality. Coercion may only be used reactively, in self-defense or as punishment, to be ethical. Creating an ethical society through unethical means almost always backfires. If the means is coercion, in the form of a decree, it is bound to reduce morality to doing whatever is decreed as the right conduct, with no regard for motivation or for the personality as a whole. TL;DR do you even know what morality is?

No, it does not mean we need a government to protect ourselves from immorality. The government is usually the first entity to be infiltrated with immoral ideas, and once it is, it will cause more damage than anyone else could. Having a government is also a bad per se, pdf related.

If I don't like you don't come on my property or I'll shoot you, how's that for a social incentive? I don't give a damn about the 'West' or European culture and I certainly don't want the state intervening to protect it, let it die.

This alone is probably one of the most civilization-destroying incentives there is.

I mean you can't just drop all rules at once. I mean in particular reference to marriage.

Then why are socialist dictatorships, whose ruler(s) have a long-term interest in power always on the clear decline, if they are aware how incentives work?

How is declaring that the wife has no right to demand the assets of the husband through divorce paying for a law?

How is regulating marriage something you have to pay for?

I would say that this more then anything else is something you could drop all the rules for, considering there are already tons of people who live in "lawless" marriages, where legally speaking they are not married but they went to a church and wear wedding rings

there are also people faithful to eachother without a church involved, even having and raising kids

the only parties you need for a marriage is the marrying parties, nothing else is necessary and in the case of a state I would go so far as to say it has a very long and well established track record of being detrimental

Hoppe shows that removing antidiscrimination laws (thus allowing men to exercise their freedoms of association and dissociation), and reducing/eliminating public property is very effective at incentivizing 'moral' behavior. Certainly much more so than trying to legislate morality by committee.

>Then why are socialist dictatorships, whose ruler(s) have a long-term interest in power always on the clear decline, if they are aware how incentives work?

These rulers are incentivized by their own welfare, not the state of their country as a whole. They may know that they're ruling over a banana republic, but they assume whoever replaces them will be the one to deal with that.

But in non common law countries they often still have a few laws applied to them. In Germany you need to pay the Arbeitslosengeld for 1 year, if she doesn't find a job.

And of course then all that gets thrown out the window when you have kids, because that applies whether or not you are married.

And personally at that point you might as well marry her, when you have kids.

>Hoppe shows that removing antidiscrimination laws (thus allowing men to exercise their freedoms of association and dissociation)

That's not enough. Look, I would totally support contractual freedom and if people were able to still have real legal marriages by them just being able to write whatever they want into their marriage contract.

But that is completly unthinkable at this point.

One thing that guys at /pol/ don't understand is that responsibility is power, when you surrender your responsibilities to someone else, you are also surrendering your power to them and emasculating yourself. If you are the one responsible for defending your own home, then you can shoot any nigger that breaks in to rape your girlfriend because there will be no state to say that you are racist and that you should have locked yourself in the bathroom and waited for the cops like a little bitch. Even if it's some right wing government, they will still find a way to fuck with your life if you give them the power to do it, maybe they will start invading other white European countries, maybe they will even install a nigger dictator just like /pol/ has a nigger moderator and no one will be able to do jack shit about it.

When you take away the government's power to fuck with society then things will just go back to their natural state, women will go back to being submissive helpers, niggers will go back to being in Africa, white men will go back to being self-reliant alphas and not soyboy cucks because the system that supported all of this has collapsed.

It's free gibs when you are unemployed.

>how is this kept track of?

No, if she can't find a job than you are responsible for paying her those gibs instead of the goverment.

You also have to live together for some time for that to apply.

In common law countries that stuff is way more severe. While in the past common law used to be the more "free" legal system, now it makes it so that the goverment forcefully marries you two.

>PEOPLE LITERALLY ALREADY DO THIS, WHY IS IT UNTHINKABLE

I want you to tell me, if you really think that people can just write stuff into their marriage contract and it counts.

It doesn't in most cases. I read that in Mark Zuckerburg's contract he wrote in that his asian gf should fuck him every month (or every 2nd week, I don't recall exactly).

Or let's not even take that example, but if she cheats. Do you think that when she just wants to divorce him, the courts will literally give her nothing? No half of his stuff (okay, he probably has that in his contract and sometimes this seems to be respected), but also zero alimony, no access to any possible kids as well?

I would even agree that it might be kinda unfair to never let her see her kids again in that case. But the Schuldfrage (question of fault) is a practice that has been completly abandoned in the west for decades now.

It doesn't matter, who has cheated on whom. It doesn't matter if anyone breaks any clauses in the marriage contract. All that stuff doesn't matter, feminism pushed for no-fault divorce, with the wife still being able to get all her rights.

>>74345

>One thing that guys at /pol/ don't understand is that responsibility is power, when you surrender your responsibilities to someone else, you are also surrendering your power to them and emasculating yourself.

I understand that. I really don't like the self-defence laws in europe for this reason.

Even though the law itself in Germany is actually in theory incredibly pro defender. "Das Rechts darf nicht dem Unrecht weichen" Righteousness mustn't give way to injustice.

But in effect that is the case, because they expect you to just flee and hide like a bitch.

>maybe they will start invading other white European countries

I doubt it for 3 reasons. The moral attitude of the population, who would really not prefer a war in any situation. The american supremacy. And nuclear weapons. France would not like us invading Poland again.

>When you take away the government's power to fuck with society then things will just go back to their natural state, women will go back to being submissive helpers

Okay, I'll just assume that you describe minarchism there and not anarcho-capitalism.

Since you want some sort of court system, there would still be laws about marriage.

I mean it wouldn't just be nothing. Not every marriage is perfect and you need a mediator to solve conflicts.

>Also why is everyone on /pol/ German?

Are they though?

I can literally speak German as you can see and I live here, so I am not just some American with german heritage.

Just because they understand incentives and the impact it has doesn't necessarily mean they understand economics or care much in regard to how the free market allows for people to pursue those interests and ultimately provide other people with value and in turn receive things that they value.

Those dictatorships still have incentive, and there is still incentive to do things under a dictatorship. It's just that the incentive in a socialist dictatorship often works from the angle of "if I don't do this, Ill get my life taken away from me and my family possible tortured", as opposed to the problem of "If I don't do this, I won't get things I want.".

>How is declaring that the wife has no right to demand the assets of the husband through divorce paying for a law?

It's not.

>How is regulating marriage something you have to pay for?

Marriage licenses, the amount of paperwork and bureaucracy required for a marriage, etc are all things that we have to pay for in the modern marriage.

Anon, incentives and economics are very closely linked together. Let's just look at unemployment benefits. The Socialist looks at 5% unemployment, which is a certain number of people. He redistributes X amount of ressources to these people and he calculates this into his budget.

The person who understands incentives will realize that this action would increase the number of unemployed people, who rather collect benefits than work and that suddenly you have less money available to spend and further expenses. That also means you can't accurately calculate your budget.

Look at Venezuela. They for years invested all their earnings into household items. They gave their population microwaves and other shit, instead of developing their infrastructure so you might be able to pump more oil or maybe even some factories, who are going to do stuff with the oil like refine it.

Now people don't even have enough to eat and it's like you might as well never have given them that stuff.

> It's not.

Sorry, I guess I shouldn't directly translate common phrases into English and expect it to have the same meaning. I wanted to say something like "What if/how would you like it if that was a law?".

> Marriage licenses, the amount of paperwork and bureaucracy required for a marriage, etc are all things that we have to pay for in the modern marriage.

Okay, but if that is your problem with it than you cannot maintain a court. I guess you are an ancap then, right?

You should choose what you want to argue for ancap or minarchism. But not both at once.

I am also interested in talking with you about transitory states, before it's pure police/courts/military minarchism.

That doesn't mean they're the same thing. Incentives play a huge role in economics but an understanding of incentives does not inherently mean that you understand economics. It doesn't even imply that they see certain incentives (such as those that occur in a free market) as beneficial, some people genuinely see the pursuit of one's incentives in a free market as a morally evil thing. That doesn't mean that they necessarily understand the implication of what comes next or even what would happen without this fulfillment of incentives.

>I wanted to say something like "What if/how would you like it if that was a law?".

It wouldn't really need to be one.

>kay, but if that is your problem with it than you cannot maintain a court.

> I guess you are an ancap then, right?

I genuinely don't understand what you're grasping at here? Maybe something got lost in translation?
