  • The minimum insurance isn’t a scam. If you hit someone and cripple them you’ll be glad for insurance to pay their medical etc…

    Comprehensive is absolutely a scam. Just take the money and save it, maybe buy some bonds. Then when it’s time to buy a new car (or when you get your car totaled) you’re already half way to a new car.






  • I don’t see how life at conception, or fetal personhood leads to this. If another person attached themselves to you and said “if you detach me I’ll die, I need to stay connected to you for months before I can detach from you in a traumatic way that damages your body” it’s not a crime to detach them. No one has a right to your body. But somehow when a baby does that they have a direct right to your body? When did you agree to this arrangement? When did you lose your right to change your mind?

    I’m very upset that leftists have to cede the scientific fact that life begins at conception to the right. Just because a fetus is alive doesn’t mean it owns your body.

    I’m not disagreeing with anything I’m just mad that we have to take such precarious positions to defend things that I don’t think should need defending.








  • I think that free speech laws are what stopped us from being proactive against these intolerant fascist views.

    They turn tolerance from a social contract into a “paradox” where we have to tolerate the intolerant until they take over.

    If we didn’t have such strict free speech laws, we could have deplatformed and jailed these people back when they were at the “protest with confederate and Nazi flags” stage and not had to deal with the neo-fascist government stage.

    To put it another way punching Nazis should be legal. A Nazi is a direct existential threat to Jewish people and other minorities. Parading with Nazi paraphernalia in public is violence towards others and punching Nazis is valid self defense. American free speech and self defense laws were written to exclude “inducement” of violence, but that’s been whittled away by the supreme Court, including a ruling that walking around with Nazi flags in a Jewish neighborhood wasn’t bad enough to permit the residents to retaliate in any way because of “free speech”.
