I wish there was a centrist conservative

i mean, i took that argument from ben

Crowder is close

yeah Ben is right on that one

government shounbt be in the marriage business

It's odd that the legal idea of marriage is tied to the idea of a sexual relationship

well it was not anymore

technically i don;t think it is

It technically isn't, and shouldn't

i think common law marriage is just "you've been living in the same place for like 10 years. you are married now."

If two MGTOW straight best friends plan on being roommates for the forseeable future (well-planned out), should they be able to get the legal benefits of marriage?

(like if the uncles in Secondhand Lions hadn't actually been related, just good friends)

I support completely privatising marriage

really i think the legal aspects of marriage should be split up into different pieces that can be applied for separately, depending on criteria only relevant to them.

I crafted that same argument independently.

It's the most libertarian path you can take on the issue

and actually utilizes the concept of 'Separation of Church and State' in a way that makes sense.

it makes sense, i just never occurred to me, idk why really.

i mean, the though of calling current marriage just civil union so as to avoid the word marriage occurred to me long ago.

Honestly I dunno why he wouldn't name tim

To not acknowledge him?

Like what they say "legitimize nazis"

I thought the alt-right were supposed to generally be race realists not racists

i personally would say they are mostly idiots, but my definition is very vague so they could also be people using bike locks - what do i know

yeah

I've seen self-proclaimed alt-righters from legit libertarians to folks talking about removing all the jews

rule of thumb: never proclaim yourself to be part of an only loosely defined group

eh

Everything changes

That's the only static thing in all this bullshit

war. war never changes. except id bethesda takes over, then it gets buggy.
