People are allowed to choose who they associate with and who they vend stuff to. This seems fine to me?

- zzo38computer 1y agoYes, I agree they can choose who they associate with, although my opinion is that it should not restrict others from using it if they obtain a copy indirectly (because I think that copyright and patents should be abolished). (The actual license seems to only restrict the government from using it, though.)

There is of course A distinct difference between discrimination based on characteristics you were born with and those you appear to have chosen. But then, you get the slippery slope of sociopath and schizophrenics who have a genetic tendency towards certain behaviors... Who's to say that MAGAs or Nazis aren't born with a genetic tendency towards that behavior?

- SAI_Peregrinus 1y agoMountain lions are born with a genetic tendency to want to bite through the back of my neck, killing me. I have no moral obligation to assist them in exercising their genetic tendencies. I'll try to ensure they have safe habitat, with access to their natural non-human food sources, but I won't sacrifice myself for them. Same deal with MAGAs and Nazis. Their genetic tendencies (if any) don't give them a right to harm others. When they do so, they break the social contract that gives others a reason to tolerate their behavior, just like anyone else breaking that social contract.
