The threat of termination in economically depressed areas functionally forces people to do all kinds of things they would ordinarily not do to keep jobs. Unethical things, putting up with sexual harassment, etc. Imagine having a a serious disease in a completely libertarian society - diabetes, for example, let's make…

As a society, we have to make choices. There is violence in either choice - shooting someone and starving someone out is the same thing. Do we want life to suck for most people, or be high quality?

Ok. But would you rather have the "violence" of a minimum wage, or functional feudalism? Isn't there a lot of violence that results from that? Typical libertarian blind spots.

Jade?

Ranen and Eden Siemen. Norwegian twins.

To be clear, it was at the point when I read your last comment that I started judging you negatively.

Do yourself a favor and remove the Washington Monument from your ass. I was trying to understand why you wanted to do something that, frankly, seems like it would be really soul-crushing and limiting.

What phrase would you prefer to convey that information? That's less douchey, that is.

It's rape if you don't stop. Jeez.

I want to somehow blackmail them into putting on a "better be good!" community theater production of The Handmaid's Tale, and invite all of their various patriarchs.

How much of your life do or did you spend upholding and promoting that brand, though? Isn't how we spend our lives who we are? (Also, existential inauthenticity is the opposite of this idea.)

It was an honest question. I wrote it before I saw your answer below. Thanks.

I bolded "with me" to show that you made it about you first. Are you aware that your comments come off as having a great deal of hostility, aggression, and projection? I'm amused.

FUCK.

Hyperbolic nonsense will get you nowhere with me.

Honestly, why do you want to be a brand? How do you get around it being inherently dehumanizing and existentially inauthentic?

Why do you allow room in your headspace for such rigidity? It's completely made up just for its own sake. There's no independent significance.

Pot, kettle. Only you're advocating violence.

Who the hell came up with white thigh-highs? Terrible.

So. Much. Blood.
