Odd that I went there. I just noticed that my white privilege allowed me to assume the dick hat should be pink. Although pink pussy hats are universal, pink dick hats are not. I scratched "pink" above and regret including it. Wow. I'm ashamed of myself. Even those of us with the best of intentions from time to time fall prey to the social conditioning we've all been subjected to. I can only imagine how that conditioning feels on the other, non-privileged side.

Ahhh, so now you're sitting in judgement of who does or does not have the right to advocate for their rights.

Rights are for everyone, silly rabbit.

NO exceptions. You don't get to judge their legitimacy. It isn't for you to decide whether they have a legitimate cause.

Should they get more rights than others? No. Should their rights come before others? No. But that doesn't mean they don't get them.

What a strange and self serving bunch you are...

Sometimes, you almost get it...

If everyone has the equal right to be left alone as long as they leave others alone (they do) how do you account for a government which derives its power from using means which are directly in opposition to this ?

Well, it would be nice if they took a stronger stand for actual democracy;

Actual democracy is undesirable, since it denies some individuals equal rights and relies on an impossible idea that nonexistent rights, none of which are possessed by any individuals within a group, can magically come into being by virtue of a group aggregation of those same zero rights.

So there's that.

Nevermind that the article was about authoritarianism rising in governments around the world. So you're saying THAT'S a better alternative?!

No, I'm saying a "Democracy" (as presently exist in the world's political nation state/plantation model) IS
irrefutably an authoritarian government.

That is self evident when you consider a Democracy or most other kinds of government which presently exist do not need your actual consent to insist it has jurisdiction over most aspects of your life. I reject them all as being illegit.

You mean like trying to take credit for the record stock market, etc?

All Obama, Trump hasn't gotten a single thing done.

The only Bill on his table is Russian Sanctions and he refuses to sign it so far.

No collusion whatsoever though, nuh uh.

Why not? They hacked our election, they hacked other country's elections.

Even Congress knows this, its why they tied his hands in the sanction bill (now law, he signed it while I slept).
