It's not arbitrary! It's rooted in slavery and racism!

Can you maybe think of an instance in history where it might be justified to shoot law enforcement who are following the law. Just give it 3 minutes.

> Using deadly force in self defense against law enforcement officer is only justified when that law enforcement officer is acting outside the bounds of the law. I'd say I'm astonished but I'm not.

They were protesting an ICE facility. Sort of famous for not wearing uniforms and hiding their faces. Maybe you think these tactics are justified but it has led to a lot of police impersonation.

Your interpretation of the facts and institutions here are thoroughly alien to me. There's so much unpacking to be done I'm not sure I have the time on my smoke break but I'll give it a shot. First, law enforcement as a conce

The "officer" was chasing people on foot and drew his weapon. He was then shot. Given the Pretti and Good murders, in my opinion this is a clear cut case of self defense.

No, it doesn't. The person I'm responding to is using semantics to claim the 4th amendment didn't mention scope and therefore privacy against search is irrelevant. My point is that acting as though the constitution of the us

Real big brain on you. The solution isn't to make ebooks free to libraries, it's to shut off access. This is a good thing!

Like, I wouldn't spit the food out. But I would be disgusted. Someone told me they planned their vacation with an llm and I couldn't help but express disdain for this friend of mine. Why are we outsourcing creativity and research

It's pretty indicative of the situation that you're unironically trying to say Malthus was right about some things, actually.

Yeah I was typing up a response the inherent disconnect between taking the allegations seriously enough to provide an escort while still allowing the abuser free to assault other women is galling.

> I'm not sure what you're saying, Microsoft wasn't broken up. I am saying this isn't theory. That this happens basically any time a company has monopolistic power. We cannot expect companies to behave altruistically

I am aware of the legal duty. The legal duty is to maximize shareholder value but not explicitly break the law. What do you think this looks like in practice? Because it makes logical sense to me that monopolistic companies would use their

>Also, as the 90s Microsoft case showed, just having a monopoly isn’t bad. It’s the harm caused by having the monopoly. Can you elaborate your thoughts here because the point of breaking up companies with monopolistic power is they canno

Credit unions are regional but they have networks you can interact with. I've lived all over the country with a credit union based out of Ohio with I think less than ten branches. I have no problem finding fee free ATMs, have deposited

This is going to sound insulting and it is not meant to be insulting. Your comment shows a fundamental misunderstanding of anarchism and Rand. Her philosophy is particularly odious to people on the left and is especially incompatible with a

Sure bud. As a semi anarchist, here is a very widely accepted definition of fascism. https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/umberto-eco-ur-fasci... Edit: you're also very wrong about number 2, you just haven&#x27

I didn't say it wasn't. I'm saying calling an anarchist someone out of the "objectivist" manifesto is especially insulting.
