Except when California decides to set higher emissions standards than the rest of the US. Then it's time for the Fed to step in and squash it. Hey, if the feds have to step in and squash something, it should at least be something which is morally wrong, like emissions standards... If we’re applying...

Nature had a way before that and do you know what caused invasive species? We did. Nature's way is local species killing invasive species. So if I shoot an annoying pigeon with a shotgun, that's nature's way. Nah, natures way is that you bare manhandle that flying rat into submission the way nature...

I sense that this is directly connected to the situation going on with BMW, Ford, Honda and Volkswagen wanting to go with California’s emission standards over Trump’s unnecessarily lax standards which just shines an even bigger light on Trump’s pettiness. Supremacy clause. I dont believe there is a ...

Hopefully this works out in the workers favor.

So much for consistency. And nothing fights socialists and communists better than raping nuns. Since when is it inconsistent for a libertarian to rebel against tyranny? All wars are bound to harm civilians in some capacity, but that does not mean the conflict was intended to harm civilians. Rebelli...

When people start putting pineapple on pizza... oh wait, that’s already happened, i guess we’re doomed then.

Meh, get back to me when they go after the corporatists in the federal and various state governments that enable this kind of monopolizing in the first place.

To me, this is like a state supreme court in the US declaring something the federal .gov did unlawful. Is this even allowed in the UK?

Entirely relevant, because if there’s little to no benefit in leaving then why leave at all? But maybe, just maybe they should leave because the people made their wish clear and the government vouched to respect it? Here begs the question, are you so much of a capitalist that the people of a countr...

Even zombie Teddy Roosevelt himself would get tired of Bolton’s warmongery.

Do any of yall support accelerationism? I have been looking at it more here recently as an alternative to violent insurgency... possibly supported through the use of mass strikes Is reformism a big joke to everyone?

I’ve been calling it the “X” button for over 20 years since the PS1 days, so “X” it shall remain.

If they answered it honestly then it's an indication of what they potentially believe. It usually tells me i am a sweet and cute left-liberal in the green bloc or near the center. Do you think is accurate? I mean if its indicative there would be no reason to worry about me for you... :p I don't kno...

I am not so sure about that. It often appears though as if one things leads to another. I am in either case no friend of libertarians or the religious right for sure. ^^ The real problem with the libertarians in general is lack of empathy. Lots of individuals aren't able for their own reasons to fi...

Wrong. Backrolled by people who have a different understanding and idea of the constitution. They are not authoritarians and totalitarians. They believe usually in a minimal role of the state. Most of them actually believe in the founding ideals of the United States. Just in a different way than yo...

I don’t know if you remember at all but I’m entirely against authoritarianism and totalitarianism in all its forms, even “utopian” forms in works of fiction that wouldn’t exist in real life, which is great about fiction in that you can make your fictional society whatever you want separate from rea...

The 50 Prince Electors have cast their votes, and they have chosen Donald Trump to be the Imperial President of the Holy American Empire. Reports of violent riots amongst cities of dissenting states will be but a footnote for this historic event. That's not very libertarian. Authoritarians don’t te...

Nah, I’d rather not live in a quasi-fascistic society where I and others like me would be considered untermensch in. Did you read the book? I mean even in the (tarded) movie theres no such thing.
