Stop tyring to do everything through naked force and pursue market solutions that people adopt because it's economically advantageous for them to do so?

Stop sending SWAT teams at people already trying to do this? (https://youtu.be/i4Hnv_ZJSQY?t=250)

Everybody who looks hard enough knows that neither of these things will happen and we know why. That people ignore it or pretend otherwise is the real problem at the root of this whole situation.



Are you talking about capitalist or free market minarchy?


I am not talking about any particular political framework at all.

I am trying to point out that if you start from that premise you prejudice the kinds of diagnoses and solutions to any potential problem you come up with. Which is of course the exact reason that the parties who stand to gain so much wealth and power from the exercise are so desperate that this should be the default, and why to the extent there is a problem that might be solved, quick, easy and relatively cheap direct voluntary action solutions need to be hit with SWAT raids lest the power and wealth that might be attained from nebulous, slow, difficult and extremely expensive solutions which are by contrast pushed by force upon the entire planet.
