> a right not to be associated with hate
This is neither a right in any theoretical system of human rights I've seen, nor is there any practical way to disassociate people from a basic human emotion.
- village-idiot 8y agoFree association implies the freedom to not associate. You can’t make people be associated with hate groups. Also, don’t be cute about “hate”. We aren’t talking about the human emotion and you know it.
- tinalumfoil 8y agoIn the context of this conversation people don't have the right to disassociate with anyone they don't like. I'm not being "cute" about hate, and whatever you think hate is isn't relevant to my point. People simply do not have the right to do business with others chosen entirely from their own personal discretion. The US government can and does force businesses to provide services, at the risk of that business's existence, to unsavory entities.
