When brainwashed mystics stab your kids to death on the sidewalks Stateside as in England and Germany, you'll understand what the looters mean by voting against freedom and calling mystical looter politicians "winners." I voted libertarian. My votes repealed bad laws.
Reason has not informed me of these things. How is that possible?
Have no idea what you mean. NONE

Maybe both sides needs to learn to MIND their own F'EN business.
Government tyranny exists precisely because of that mentality issue.

I found a couple wino vagrants the other night, offered them both $20 to fight each other in the alley while I recorded it for my youtube channel; a hundie to the winner if he knocked him out. No rules, no time limits, no refs - just a bum fight.
It actually attracted quite a scene, which made it very clear that this is something that people want. As did the views, likes, and subscribes on my bum fight channel.
It's not exploitative. They both got paid. Shut up. "Coercion by circumstance" isn't a thing.
Lying is a thing.
