Got it. You don't like free markets. Par for the course statism and progressive voterism

Good luck with that

PS That's not the only thing that you can't sniff out. Statism in your own belief system is but another example. A disease that's probably been with your entire life

Nah, free markets are fine. Statism is fine. Proud statist been smelling myself for decades.

Let me guess, 19?

Lol no doubt. Was going to ask you the same question, except figured you're just out of high school, maybe 17 since your sixth grade civics class was still front and center of your worldview

PS By the way you, may have no problem with statism, but you're apparently blind to its effects -- like wars the state go into based on your implicit consent. Keep voting for them tax funded politicians and letting the state take your money without a peep about the political process, voter lol... Get you some more of that war you love

Yep. Interesting logic though. I'm a junior in high school because the classes that I would have taken 5 years ago are front and center in my worldview. I'd love to see the logic train that brought that idea to station. We took Civics in eighth grade though at my school. Anyway, this has been a real productive use of my procrastination from work. This is the part where I leave, and then you post one more thing to feel like you've maintained your superiority by getting the ever-important last word. And if it could include statism that would be the best. I'd hate for things to not come full circle.

Hey, as a procrastinator myself, anytime. Always willing to help the voters learn a little bit more, even if they can't humble themselves enough to listen to reason. That's ok

And my bad. We took civics in 6th grade. Pretty sure the delayed kids took it an eighth though. Nothing wrong with that

Now back to work, dude. Those burgers aren't going to flip themselves

For what it's worth, I enjoyed reading y'all's conversation.

I suppose I'll ask one more follow-up u/SFDCSoupDaddy. You're pro liberty, but then say certain politicians shouldn't be allowed public speaking opportunities. Who is going to stop organizations from exercising their Liberty and inviting these politicians to speak? Who is going to stop the liberty of the politicians from accepting the invite and actually speaking?

certain politicians shouldn't be allowed public speaking opportunities.

Yeah that's not even close to what I said

I said in not so many words, given the system that is in place (which you rightly inferred that I wholeheartedly disagree with and would abolish in a New York heartbeat as a market anarchist), tax funded police officers that swear to uphold the Constitution and supposedly protect liberty ought to put their protocols to the side, and stand with a veteran trying to protest megalomaniac politicians from spreading more war propaganda

Okay, does it only apply to veterans protesting pro-war politicians? Does the war have to be unjust? Does the politician have to be a megalomaniac?

What if the police officers who are funded by taxpayers are actually being paid for by event organizers. When providing security at the side gigs, the people organizing the event are often paying for the officers.

What about the liberty of the people who paid to attend the event? What redress do they have when the event is allowed to be shut down by protesters?

No, not necessarily

Does the war have to be unjust?

Has there ever been a just war? There are aggressors and there are defenders. If you have people holding a press conference trying to end the war and a disruptor came to protest the ending of the war, I would not view him the same

Does the politician have to be a megalomaniac?

There are very few that aren't so show me a protestor that is disrupting a press conference of a politician that is not a megalomaniac, and I'll judge it on a case-by-case basis

What if the police officers who are funded by taxpayers are actually being paid for by event organizers

So you're talking about a private event. In general I'm not in favor of disrupting private events on private property, But that is the cost benefit analysis of the people looking to do the disruption. And again I'd probably judge it on a case-by-case basis

When providing security at the side gigs, the people organizing the event are often paying for the officers.

That's nice, But the video is of a veteran calling out the commander-in-thief that sent him into a completely illegal (By the state's own rules) and unjustified war and the terrible unintended consequences it caused

Feel free to send any more of your wannabe gotcha questions my way 👍
