I understand that you're very angry at the idea that you might have been hoodwinked, but....didn't it begin to dawn on you that this could be the case when we were still discussing Peterson?
Acknowledge.

When I said many pages ago that I felt black people should rise up and take power if that was their goal, and that I would respect them for that, would you say THAT was an expression of alt-right indoctrination? When I said that prisoners should be offered release conditional on contracts with financial incentives for success and released from prison, was THAT an expression of alt-right indoctrination?
Benito Mussolini\s Handsome Lover Wrote:I promoted identity support for natives precisely because it is their identity which is under attack-- not just their persons, but what it means for them to be native. You can't express yourself in action (i.e. act according to my definition of liberty) if even your sense of self-identity is taken away from you.
I support black people standing up in arms if they choose to do so, because I believe the constitution of the US allows for the possession of arms with the intent of standing against tyranny, and the abuse of positions of privilege, both in police and in government represent tyranny, i.e. the polar opposite of liberty under my definition. Nobody ever had a plan to be pulled over for a broken tail light, ripped out of his car because his timing in reaching for ID scared some fuckwit cop, and then thrown in jail for obstruction of justice when he struggled against the cop's unwarranted attempts to restrain him.
I support incentives over entitlements, because I think it is infinitely more likely to cause people to make goals and to pursue them, i.e. I believe it's the best way to promote liberty as I define it. Unless people have a reasonable expectation that they'll be given a chance to be productive, and then amply rewarded for the value of that production, they don't really have liberty-- whether they're behind bars or not.
