To end the whole discussion: I am still Norwegian.
As if a thread, that derailed after 5 posts, could be saved after 125 posts by clarifying anything related to the "thread topic" ...To end the whole discussion: I am still Norwegian.
I'm sorry to say that I don't read much. I'm more of a self thinker. Can you describe though what you think is so extreme/radical about Hans-Hermann Hoppe? I'm assuming that's the Hoppe you're referring to.
I would've loved a world where you could say "extreme", "radical" and "fanatic" without that sounding negative in a political context, but I think you're being very naive if you intend to use those words without negative connotations.Extreme/radical/fanatic are neutral words that describe an uncompromising dedication to something.
Hoppe is radical in the sense that he advocates libertarianism and anarcho-capitalism uncompromisingly. He for example said that he follows Rothbard who founded Mises institute after being thrown out of Cato institute for not wanting to advocate a moderate and compromising libertarianism.
I guess people reacts to those words because they are used as negatively charged verbs to take the suspicion off of the religion of peace in politically correct language usage.

Quoting long wikipedia sections doesn't answer my comment, doesn't make you smarter, and isn't even creative.
Maybe instead of Wikipedia go back and read actual communist literature (don't worry it won't bite).

Communism =/= State capitalism =/= Anarcho-capitalism
Look I'm 100% in favor of the free market and I agree Hong Kong is a great example of that...except, well, they'll be absorbed by commie china sooner or later. Just get your head out ofPS. 24
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_Friedman#Hong_Kong
Friedman once said: "If you want to see capitalism in action, go to Hong Kong."[115] He wrote in 1990 that the Hong Kong economy was perhaps the best example of a free market economy.[116]
One month before his death, he wrote the article "Hong Kong Wrong—What would Cowperthwaite say?" in The Wall Street Journal, criticizing Donald Tsang, the Chief Executive of Hong Kong, for abandoning "positive noninterventionism."[117] Tsang later said he was merely changing the slogan to "big market, small government," where small government is defined as less than 20% of GDP. In a debate between Tsang and his rival Alan Leong before the 2007 Hong Kong Chief Executive election, Leong introduced the topic and jokingly accused Tsang of angering Friedman to death.[citation needed]

Also what makes someone eligible of playing for a certain nation in aoe?
Well, in that case I would rather have this flag:The same thing that makes pros eligible to represent their nation in literally every single sport? I.e. a specific nationality or citizenship, if you prefer.
People enjoy rooting for their country and the tournament brings players in the same country together, players of all levels, not just experts.But what sense does it make to have players divided in nations in the aoe "world"? Like i have better pings to some guys from France than to some of Austria. I just want to say, the concept of nations and natural borders feels somehow strange to me in this setting.
The same thing that makes pros eligible to represent their nation in literally every single sport? I.e. a specific nationality or citizenship, if you prefer.
How do you want to proof it in case of aoe2, though? You want a passport, or is simply choosing the appropriate flag for your online personality enough?
The truth is, 90% of ppl in NC could be from whatever country of their own choice and we would never find out. Yes, we all know where the big streamers and other famous ppl are "really" from, but even they could technically just choose to smurf if they werent allowed to play for the country of their choice. In that sense, a bit more leniency is quite appropriate for a semi-casual online game, versus some real sport. And as the main attraction of the whole nations cup is to play for glory of a certain country, instead of just money prizes, it is very likely that ppl will indeed always play for the country they love the most, even if they are illegal aliens or something. What advantage do political technicalities like passports and citizenships add to any of this?
This was more naive than you thinking your dead campaign heroes were always gonna be the last... 11To end the whole discussion
