In that case, do you believe that it should be legal to fire/refuse service/kick out of teams and events someone due to their gender, religion, or sexual orientation?
- vertex-four 7y agoThe fact of the matter is that all this happens, legal or not. I’ve not had work in years, in the first instances because of illegal discrimination. I’ve been assaulted for being in the “wrong” spaces. People care so intensely much about freedom of association that they’ll break the law and use violence in order to maintain it. So what should we do, given that enforcing association by law doesn’t work? My solution is in anarchism; stop preventing me from living my own life (through a capitalist society enforced by the state, police and prisons) and I’ll stop forcing myself on yours.
