There's a reason solitary confinement is considered a form of torture by some researchers and people reading into that research. I think the more realistic isolationist dream is to be a Ron Swanson; someone who is self-sufficient, asocial, spends lots of time alone and generally avoids people, but is also in touch with friends and people in society, and at one point or another is going to realize that they're better off relying on other people and being relied upon to some extent than being as isolated as possible. Without going into specific Parks and Rec spoilers, I think Ron Swanson's arc is a decent portrayal of the idea of a stubborn libertarian realizing they have to come back to reality sometimes and that sometimes the best things in their life are going to come from friends, not from hiding away. And they can still lean toward being a stubborn isolationist without giving that up.

I love how the caller originally doesn't want to talk about how things currently are, but just discuss principles, but as soon as they get into what a government should be he starts going on about how bad the current government is.

it's awesome, I had never seen this!

Hilariously, Blake called in last week and was mad that he now has to pay child support to his ex and whined repeatedly about her spending habits and character. It was awesome.

*This Guy walks into a store* This Guy: Hello sir, would you hire me to be an employee here? Store Owner: Well, you're gonna need to fill out an application, I mean, I don't even know what position you want to apply for. This Guy: I knew this would happen, I-I knew this would happen and what I wanted from you guys was just a very simple answer, it's a very simple question.

The problem is that stupid people don't know they are stupid.

When Seder asked about if he beats his gf and he became speechless holy shit

"I knew this would happen." What, that your argument wouldn't stand up to minor scrutiny?

Al and Sheila moved away just to get away from Blake.

I love guys like this. They're probably the smartest person in their circle of dipshit friends so the think they can debate someone with genuine intelligence. You can almost hear the moment they realise that they are out of their depth.

Its so annoying to watch because while right, the dude on the phone has no idea how to combat sam's deflection and debate tactics. Sam is not good faith, so if anybody is going to have a fair conversation they need to know how to call out his bs. Not to mention sam's community is literal cancer. Don't confuse debate skills with correct positions.

​@llarvae5359 why don't you call into the show? Show us how a true libertarian defends their worldview. Sam likes to drill down to pragmatics in these conversations, because otherwise it's a completely hypothetical discussion that results is dueling theory. So, sam avoids the trap and asks them how exactly does libertarian praxis manifest. It may be annoying to you and it may be argumentative, but it's not bad faith. Sam is always engaging honestly. Just because he doesn't follow you down your dialog tree doesn't mean he's acting in bad faith.

@@ampere11 Sam is absolutely not good faith and is focused on solely optics in his convos. He will stake no position in an argument so that he doesn't have to commit, and then proceed to essentially interview the other person until he thinks he finds a chink in their armor and proceed to parade it around like it means he has won. He does this in every debate I have watched of his. Most of the debate feels like clueless Sam interviewing another person and often agreeing. Since he doesn't make well defined claims there is nothing for the other person to attack but i bet most viewers don't realize how many concessions he is making while he does this. Essentially to debate sam you would have to be really firm in holding him to a point, and have a well fleshed out position. He essentially debates to impress his echo chamber, not for truth. His terrible takes in Kyle Rittenhouse or debates over that should be enough to show how much of a joke he is. He is also very often guilty of strawmanning any view that isn't his own which means he is dim and can't understand them, or more likely is a manipulative commentator. Its not that he isn't following a dialogue tree, but rather that he is only looking for gotcha's, name calling, and manipulating his audience. I'm not referring to this video specifically either or defending the libertarian here because honestly I'm not sure what they were getting at either but of course sam is going to imply, and his fans are going to eat this up, as an accurate portrayal of the ideology which is what i was pointing out in my first comment.

That was mind boggling. I am a libertarian BUT women should be less free because reasons. I wish Sam brought up rape or severe health issues which would lead to both mother and the child's death (diabetic mother, genetic disease, complications during pregnancy, any sort of surgical intervention which requires anesthesia, etc).

For real. Just answer it and say " I never have so the question started on a false premise. What else would you like to know?" Done. This guy couldn't even say that... he might have beat his gf

This is why Sam is the king of debate. "Did you stop beating her "? 🤣

I've run across a few people with Down Syndrome out there in my lifetime, and, by gosh, Blake might just be onto something. They wouldn't need to rely on help from the system if they had just exercised more or ate better.

This was humorous. I love that he thinks that socialism and libertarianism are antithetical. Shows how ignorant he is.

They are. Libertarianism must be redefined form what it was to be compatible with socialism. And no one with any power whatsoever is pushing "socialism" in America. It is a boogie man, meant to keep people from realizing that government can actually be a positive in the lives of the people - even in a capitalist economic system. In fact we've SEEN government effectively and successfully used as the counterweight to capitalism in America. When the balance was right, we had the biggest expansion of the middle class in the nation's history. Libertarianism was literally created to counteract that balance, and put the power fully in the hands of capitalists.
