    The thing’s you say are very authoritarian. The disregard for individual thoughts and freedoms is honestly scary. You can’t even differentiate private venture with public service. I suspect you discriminate against others all of the time, but it’s fine since it’s coming from you and your side of things, never questioning if you’re the bad person or not.

    It slowly gets worse and worse each time you type. That last part is just flat out disgusting to say.

    The Handmaiden’s Tale didn’t get 8.4 on iMDB because people can’t wait for that future enough.

        Heh. Thank you. My point and case for anti-libertarian rests on that response perfectly.

        And I appreciate you taking your time to state you’re wasting your time. Best your words and outlook rest here than elsewhere. We’re trying to progress as a species so, in a way, this is unintentionally helping.

            You’ve been addressed and deemed anti-liberal as what you’ve said is in direct opposition of the protection of people’s freedoms and beliefs. You in fact went on to nonchalantly say that’s fine and that you can take people’s beliefs from them and replace them, which is literally within definition of authoritatianism—the polar opposite of liberalism.

            Are you simple?

              More idiotic accusations, no substance.

              What? I’ve said nothing of the sort.

              Stop arguing with people you have imagined.

              Yawn.

                You know your text is still there, right? Like it’s still totally readable and still totally there.

                You can’t make someone do things against their beliefs, just as you wouldn’t want to be made to do things against your own.

                We can and we do, all the time. That’s part of living in society.

                Yeah, okay. I’ll just go tear down the prayer room at my work and tell everyone they have to conduct their workday the way I do from now on. It’s fine. Some darq person on the internet said we totally do this all the time and it’s way easier than respecting their inconvenient beliefs; which are void now anyway since we’re reconditioning them to be more compatible with our ideal society. Also, all veterinarians have to provide euthanasia services. Oh, and a bar can’t refuse entry to someone exercising their right to bare arms. And flatearther reconditioning camps. Actually, just all sorts of reconditioning camps. We’ll take away that individual freedom, wash those beliefs out, and get them just how we like 'em. By the end of this, they’ll have to take photographs of whatever we fucking tell 'em!

                  Yes, actions, not beliefs. People can believe whatever the hell they like. They don’t actually get to act on those beliefs in all cases though. They don’t get to discriminate if they want to run a business in society.

                  I’m going to say it again: Stop arguing with people you have imagined.

                    Yes, they fucking do in this case. How they go about doing that is when discrimination could arise.

                    They don’t get to discriminate if they want to run a business in society.

                    It’s not discimination. They’re not stopping these people from something everyone else gets. They’re saying they won’t do it.

                    What’s your solution here if you think this is somehow discrimination? To stop “discrimination” all Musilims, Christians, Eastern orthodox, Catholics, some Buddhists, Hindus, and the Jews are now abolished from photography services…to stop discrimination.

                    Or do you have some practical plan better than what we already have which is…

                    “I would like you to do this.”

                    “I won’t do that based on my beliefs.”

                    “Fair enough, I’ll find someone else.” “I’m going to shame you through public court and media, to obviously lose, but I don’t like that the person you are isn’t what I want.”
