Show one example of free market capitalism monopoly.

Mises were only able to find only one, that was considered natural monopoly, relating to the Diamond company... and that was because there were basically one single mine producing that.

Every single other monopoly was formed by or with the help of governement, and if there was government control it isn't uncontrolled free market.

How many unregulated free markets are there in reality though? I can think of a few examples of cases where governments have intervened to prevent monopolies from forming.

Oh and aren't there internet/energy monopolies in some US states? I remember hearing how much US people get screwed over by lack of choice if they live in some areas.

There aren't many if all pure free market. Yes there may have been some (or several) cases of government intervening to prevent monopolies, but when Mises looked more deeply the forming of the monopoly itself was enabled by the government.

There is even the monopoly for Obamacare in USA, in which the rules for it made some regions have only one provider.

as an american politician said, not exact words.

Government doesn't exist to solve or because problems exist. They create problems to justify their expasion.

@Ka-pie. There have only one single case of natural monopoly (coming without government involvement, meaning from free market)

i think government is necessary because we need to have some kind of commonality between the people of an area so they can cooperate properly, but yeah government is both a benefit and a problem at the same time

I agree, I'm minarquist, there are some percentage of our lives that need commitment and compromise of some liberty to live in society. But the government nowadays go way over it.

I think context is very important. If you can't joke about things like these with friends then its no wonder race relations in the US is so shit right now.

Racism shouldnt be joked about. The guy is racist and you're probably racist for defending him.

Its literally that kind of thinking why its so chaotic in the US right now. People are basically walking on glass trying not to offend anyone. But nah, i'm a racist. LOL

Anything else that should be kept out of comedy while we're at it?

Sexism, Homophobia, Transphobia, anti semitism, body shaming, jokes about disabilities or illnesses just to name a few of the top of my head.

Nope its not a joke or sarcasm.

Lol. The US isnt in a state of chaos and being offensive is more likely to start a problem than not being offensive.

So you're assuming the "victim" is a liar? Because he's black? That's pretty racist don't you think?

Not because he's black. It is because he was joking around with the guy so he wouldnt want to trow him under the bus.

You pretty much just said we shouldn't believe people involved in the incident and that we should think it was racism regardless. So why exactly should we believe you now and not assume you are being racist as well?

So basically comedy that can't even step into offensive territory, regardless of context?  You're basically fitting the mold of the oversensitive milksop people are decrying these days.  

Out of anything people can joke about why does it have to be offensive? It would be better if jokes arent offensive or try to be as un offensive as possible.

So basically this is racism just because you want to believe so? That pretty much seems like SJW.

About anything can be seem as offensive if you go the route you are going and the oversensitive spining interpretation.
