You mean the Globalists?

Reminds me of college, they were going on about how constantly great it all was and how humanitarian it’d all be because you’re investing in poor businesses a continent away and getting them employed

Wait, that sounds like “imperialism” and “exploitation”.....yeah I was wondering that in college too because it’s way cheaper overseas and less likely to have to pay for those guys OSHA stuff

NIMPism is what did in the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

Weird, go on about how capitalism is evil and exploitative and force a business off the area only to incentivize it operating elsewhere and then proceed to say how “entrepreneurial” it all is
To almost their credit I see a stronger line between SJWs and CO-DIV technocrats than you're talking about, but whatever you say next please try to say something new instead of another midwit "HMM..." no matter how stupid it's going to be.

CO-DIV? What’s that?

I think in some ways those corporations making use of all those activists types are in a way, using them as a possible weapon against possible competition

Because, let’s face it, they’ll have lots of customers regardless of alienating a good portion of them or that’s just not something they think would occur

Even if they don’t get more people, other people will be possibly bogged down, keeping them from possibly competing

Amazon banning Light Novels will lose them some money yes, but not enough to ruin them and they’ll possibly get points with those they embrace

Though, there’s a point, those activists can’t really think themselves the masters of those companies able to dictate stuff that may affect the company too much

Ford isn’t stopping itself from making and selling cars for law enforcement to use even after calls to do just that

No, Free trade is only one, minor, part of what Ancaps want. They want no borders but property borders.

The big problem with Ancaps, just like with all anarchist ideas, is that a warlord will appear and create laws.

And sometimes you don't even need to use overwhelming force or to buy out all the competition or already be way richer than said competition

You can get some people to see you and a select few as possible saviors, say that you need to establish a government even a small one

Being AnCap also doesn't stop you from disliking other people being allowed to buy and sell things

Imagine a revival of a "Religious Right" coming in to destroy the local casino with the support of a local "community"who go on about how IMMORAL it is and how it has no right to exist

They start off with trying to stop it from being around this neighborhood, then say it can't exist near any place to begin with

And the "NAP" or "Non-Aggression-Principle" has the problem in that "Aggression" can be defined even as stuff that enrages a person on sight

A lot of "anarcho-" type people, when you question them seriously, turn out to want not no government at all, but merely a different sort of government.
What AnCaps want is Plutocracy. Or maybe a sort of cross between Plutocracy and Feudalism.

The plan for stopping a warlord from imposing a new government is for all his potential soldiers to already be happily employed in private security, or something like that. So basically there would already be warlords, in economic and military competition with each other.
Until one of them defeats all the others and becomes the Grand Nagus.

Also for some reason i've seen quite a few people claim Anarcho capitalism is even worse than nazism.

I mean Anarcho capitalism is a little unrealistic but that's a bit much.

Like all the other forms of anarchism. Either they have an authoritarian force to keep the communes or w/e in line, in which case they don't really have anarchism, or they immediately collapse into warlordism and proto-states competing with each other.
