Startup costs, technological barriers, scarce resources (raw materials), lack of economies of scale, lack of logistics for supply and distribution... Need I go on?

You're giving a list of natural barriers to entry... which would apply to everyone, in a free market.

How could those providing the least satisfactory price/quality combo hold on to customers who know there is someone else providing a better combo?

You know the answer as well as everyone reading this...... i.e. it is not possible to do it, legally.

All of them are subject to natural barriers, in a free market.

Lex, you're simply ignoring the fact that your method of straining out the unwanted factors of human behaviour CANNOT be pure enough to achieve the Lexistan level of good cooperative social behaviour desired. Except maybe in a smallish group, but it will be rare to find one where someone doesn't have a moment of such weaknesses every now and then.

So try, for sure, but stop preaching what can't become wide WC reality, or any other large body reality.

It's you who are saying the profit would be so obscenely high that we need to give a few fellow-citizens legal privilege, and a money printer, to protect us from them. Sacrificing property rights and freedom of association, in the process.

I don't recall saying anything of the sort. This is the second time you have misattributed things to me, I think your memory is failing you.

You're implying it by advocating for a monopoly accreditation provider, who is special in the sense he doesn't need your permission to have you pay him for a **** service

I've have never misappropriated the implications of your lack of connected thinking to you.

If you are defending special treatment before the law, for some aggressors, then the burden of proof is on you, to justify it.

Not me.

I don't have to do any preaching. I'm just highlighting the absence of any justification coming from you.

Where did you suck that from?? I am not defending any of these misadventures, what on earth are you on about??

 

[lexity]

I think the burden of proof is on you to show there is genuinely a problem with markets that are completely open to competition.

Nope, you are arguing about something that doesn't exist anywhere in the world. If you want to convince people that we have all been doing it wrong for all this time, it's up to you to demonstrate why.

Oh my God... has the secession penny finally dropped, for Cray???

Do you think a monopoly provider of accreditation is justifiable?

Do you think a monopoly provider of accreditation is justifiable?

Twisted. I believe in state run providers of needed services.

I also believe in checks & balances to keep those orgs under control. Stated many, many, many times.


Question for you - although I find it admirable that you have such strong faith in your political philosophy, are you at all capable of ever accepting you may have got a large chunk of it wrong?

(As a possibility of course, not saying you have... who could prove that, except maybe you yourself.)

You are missing the point. It doesn't matter what the premier does because the movement doesn't have real legitimacy on the ground.

How do you know it doesn't have real legitimacy on the ground.

Afriforum has far more legitimacy, to the point where they drive the ruling elite to the point of delusion, because they make an objectively positive impact on society. Think how much it must drive someone like Panzaya Lesufi, or Pierre de Vos crazy whenever Afriforum pops up on their Twitter feed when they do a private prosecution of some rapist the NPA ignored.

I would agree that Afriforum is taken very seriously.... but I would argue there is something very wrong when you have to pay for a justice system that keeps failing you.

The RET need the tax-base's support. That excludes any govt salaried, tenderpreneur/govt contracter faux middle-class.

Afrikaners are in a uniquely strong position to put their foot down, and say listen, 2 wrongs don't make a right, everyone knows that, including the majority ANC voter, so we're going to leave you to every genuine supporter you have, but we are withdrawing support from a government that is openly hostile to our language, culture and values.

We don't have to fight you over this, we can peacefully leave you to your own language, culture and values.

Ofc, I don't mean don't make an effort to invite co-operation in full international public view, but this should be the underlying direction. As opposed to running a double/parallel prosecution system indefinitely, that is not sustainable given the current trajectory.

Future Afrikaner generations will wonder why they had to inherit the status of second-class citizens, in perpetuity.

Afrikaners should be using the massive leverage they have, to bring about a better co-existence between the various groups in Southern Africa... but I think secession has to be at the forefront of their strategy.

No, I have my hands full enough with the freebie paragraphs... cheapskate that I am.

No, not a rough night.. just wondering how dedicated you are to your cause if you couldn't even be arsed to have a subscription... means you aren't ready to put your money on the table it seems, very telling.

'Twisted'?

What's twisted about asking you where you stand in principle?

Are you sure you're not making that accusation because you feel cornered by an honest question?

Lex, if you're ever going back to that old post from yesterday, the one that was "loading", do give me a heads-up. Ta

Thanks for the reminder.

We just learnt that via the google search, a day or two ago

Need a heads up though - how else could I know you've edited it... new tags in edits don't work.
