I'm referring to the legal system that enforces constitutional rights, which is a far-cry from the government imposing restrictions on voluntary transactions among private citizens. Laws that enforce your inalienable human rights to no

The free market already has one solution for this, imperfect as it may be. If an individual is the victim of criminal discrimination, they can seek legal council and determine if the case is prosecutable. I understand that this may not be e

Those stats are one search away, but I have no point to prove. I am saying, for the record, that this is Jordan Peterson's stated explanation for why his audience is predominantly male, and the assertion that he specifically targeted t

by KhanMahGretsch 9y ago
They got it entirely wrong. Peterson has explicitly and repeatedly stated that he never intended to target young men specifically but, since YouTube's audience is predominantly male, supply-and-demand decided the distribution for him.

You'd really classify this article as even-handed? >I’d say the lives of young men can be improved more through loving attachment than through Peterson’s joyless and graceless calls to self-sacrifice. One of the many asinine misrepr

If we give the government the ability to appropriate funds for social programs and safety-nets, rather than merely enforcing the rights in the constitution, it is inevitable that these funds will inevitably be misappropriated and allocated

I think this is a good, probing comment, and I would invite you to consider one more factor, because it's a major one: government debt and unfunded liabilities. This amounts to trillions in the U.S., a number so large it defies compreh

First of all, thank you for the thoughtful response; I imagine we would have to converse at length to full establish what we agree on, but anyway the real value is in the process. I by no-means identify as a "libertarian", but I a
