This right here is all the proof anyone should ever need to just ignore this fool. Absolutist libertarians are the most backward, childish and irrational people on the political scene right now. If they ever got their way the world would turn into the dystopian future reality from back to the future part 2. Serious intellectuals view this shit as drivel that merely serves to justify what has been historically framed as the cruelty and excess of the bourgeoisie.
In this day and age this line of thought makes even less sense than when Ayn Rand cooked up the vile concept. (
)Facts bounce off these idiots since the only baseline they have for value judgments is whether or not the state interfered with the free action of an individual, and their only measure of morality is strictly tied to profit. Every previous ethical system ever created by man frames this line of thought as evil.
One of the best parts about this is that kagatob is apparently a star trek fan, and also poor. Gene Roddenberry was a confirmed humanist liberal, and would hate kagatob's guts, like most clear thinking fact-loving humans would. He espouses a value system that is designed to make him a powerless wage-slave, and he doesn't seem to even realize the incongruity in either case. In a fair world, using your brain to think these thoughts at the same time would be grounds for a speech-impairing stroke.
He actually began this thread by saying, "Look, a man killed children with a knife, this invalidates the reasoning behind gun control." This disqualifies you from being taken seriously by anyone with a shred of critical thinking ability. The worst part is that you think that you're the smart guy in the room. I assure you, that is not the case, at least while I'm here. I truly hope you join your failure of a mother in an early grave. Fuck you to death.
