My strategy is to deny everything they want to treat as an axiom. Try telling an Ayn Rand fanboy that you don’t believe in the law of identity.
Or that she died while living off of government welfare in government housing.
Even though it’s mostly not true, it’ll piss them off.
I don’t find that a compelling argument. They get off on pushing a philosophy that they believe is simple and self-evident. They can get very frustrated when you refuse to see things they think are obvious.
Arguing implies respect for their position. I’m just trolling them.
I honestly respect them less than deplorables. Their beliefs lead to the same policies but deplorables know who they are. A/Cists hide their deplorableness with incoherent, pseudo-academic rambling whereas deplorables acknowledge their stupidity and put it out for everybody to see.
Good #1
Then ask them how people and corporations who accumulate property, and especially those who inherit it are fundamentally different than government. Government “control” of resources like land (zoning/building codes) are a form of ownership. If one’s ancestors ceded that ownership without coercion, the government rightfully inherits it, no?
Once it’s not ok to monopolize natural resources you can pretty much take the capitalist out of anarchocapitalist.
Like if Trump defends his friend Lindzey then what the heck can democrats say? It’s not hypocritical, trump paid hookers himself. Good lord I want to see this, it would be hilarious.

Today in “lol rich people:”
Not Kushner-level dysfunction, but boy do I love stories like this.
The head of Black Lives Matter did a AmA on Reddit and got absolutely shredded and rightfully so. She really sounded like a bullshitting politician rather than a legit activist.

My view has always been that BLM didn’t have a traditional structure. That it was a movement similar to Anonymous where it was a grassroots movement that had a very loose connection rather than a rigid hierarchy.
When you donate money to them, it doesn’t necessarily go directly into funding BLM. It goes to a group called ActBlue that provides the infrastructure necessary for progressive causes to collection donations. While you might donate through BLM, that money may not be used to actually help it. That money could be used to finance political candidates which is what ActBlue did in the case of Beto O’Rourke rather than actually help the cause.
Using ActBlue rather than the BLM site getting 501(c)(4) treatment itself is a lack of transparency that doesn’t work in their favor. ActBlue is indeed registered as a 501(c)(4) but has registered on a state-by-state basis meaning you’d have to pull the records for each state. While they provide the information necessary to search for those records, it’s quite a clunky process and unless you’re an investigative journalist, you’re not doing that.
I don’t know who made this person the head of the BLM but the whole thing stinks of grifting.

I grew up believing correctly that black people invented Techno & dance music in NYC & Detriot, then came the Swedish trying to claim it, lol

Seems it was a bit of a damp squib. No new physical evidence, just a reevaluation of witness statements. The guy they say did it was known about a few days after the assassination.

(I don’t know much about it, just read the odd article here and there so certainly not saying this guy didn’t do it.)

I for one cannot wait to spend the rest of my life listening to centrist Dems wash this guy’s balls.
I prefer candidates whose dads didn’t get captured.
(I’m sure that grammar isn’t correct, somebody want to advise me on proper grammar for that?)

It’s funny but it’s basically always a net negative to give Candace Owens any oxygen at all and I wish people wouldn’t do it even in a negative connotation
