If a business is willing to offer me free soda refills and I freely choose to patronize thar business, then it takes a hardcore Stalinist to dare stand between

If a business is willing to offer me free soda refills and I freely choose to patronize thar business, then it takes a hardcore Stalinist to dare stand between us two and prevent by the force of guns this peacefull, voluntary exchange. Does one really need to explain that in the 21st century?
- realusername 10y agoIt's called a public health service! A wonderful thing which avoids becoming a society full of overweight and unhealthy individuals like the United States.
- FrancoDiaz 10y agoI applaud your very 1984-like spin on the law.
- Oletros 10y ago> then it takes a hardcore Stalinist Hyperbole like this is what makes those arguments ridiculous. Or perhaps you don't know what Stalinism, Socialism and Communism is and see it everywhere, like witches in the Middle Ages
- MarcusBrutus 10y agoI know very well what these systems are and, more importantly, I also know what they have in common (with German National Socialism, Maoism and Arab Islamism too): contempt for the rights of individuals and belief in the right of the state to impose its worldview even to the extent of trumping voluntary contracts and arrangements between consenting adults. It is that mindset, the thin edge of the wedge, that I see everywhere, not witches. Of course France (and most of the EU dystopia) is a socialist basketcase beyond redemption so the "thin edge" metaphore is not entirely applicable here.

So yes, you see witches everywhere. The best thing that can occur is that people like you have their dreams accomplished and live in that libertarian paradise but not being part of the 1% with power. Then you look what your ideology is, bullshit.
