Just to answer that point: yes, he has. He keeps arguing for one thing then changing it. He said everyone should have the right to discriminate, then later said nobody should be allowed to discriminate against others. I'm tired now so I'm not going to go looking for the posts, but that is basically what he said. His constant taking one stance, then the other, wears me out.

Everybody has to have the same liberties and the same access to those liberties, or else the libertarian ideology fails. I have no problem with that, but brown folks, LGBT folks and women have for so long been told that they have the same exact rights as a white man, but that has never been true because protections of their liberties have been denied. That's what Merit seems to be advocating for, and it is malicious whether he realizes it or not.

Ive had this convo with Frown in the past and while I do agree with MERIT ideologically, I think its absolutely absurd to think you can have a healthy and functioning society if it were to be his way. Its utopian nonsense. People are **** and will act as such if not legally confined within reason.

^ Thanks. For me, these two posts more than any other clinch the argument against [MERIT]'s position.

North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the 'Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times,'" Trump wrote. "Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!
This might honestly be one the scariest thing I've ever seen. I'm done directing my anger towards Trump. He's obviously way further in his dementia than we thought. From now one I'm directing my anger towards everybody else.

What the f*ck is wrong with this country where we're sitting idle and letting a dude say sh*t like this? Words can't describe the insanity behind the current political times. I just don't have the words...
