And now?

2018-02-28 13:35:42 UTC  

and now I am a Paleo/traditionalist

2018-02-28 13:35:56 UTC  

conservative-ish

those are all taken the same day

2018-02-28 13:38:57 UTC  

I am most certainly anti-equality and anti-egalitarian

2018-02-28 13:39:31 UTC  

People should not be equal under the law?

2018-02-28 13:39:40 UTC  

what does that mean?

2018-02-28 13:39:51 UTC  

equality under the law

2018-02-28 13:39:59 UTC  

It's very simple, no need to be sneaky.

2018-02-28 13:40:04 UTC  

I am not playing dumb

2018-02-28 13:40:21 UTC  

do laws apply to people equally?

2018-02-28 13:40:58 UTC  

I'm asking if you believe in equal treatment before the law. For example, you can't have Jim Crow or affirmative action.

2018-02-28 13:41:18 UTC  

And lynchings are actually dealt with.

2018-02-28 13:42:02 UTC  

I believe in the spirit of it, but I think the phrase is a worn out meme and it makes my agent orange act up when people use it

2018-02-28 13:42:04 UTC  

(As are the more modern terrorists, Antifa.)

2018-02-28 13:42:15 UTC  

Your agent orange?

2018-02-28 13:42:53 UTC  

I say that when I get irritated

2018-02-28 13:43:52 UTC  

You get irritated by people mentioning equality before the law? Reminds of the feminists who say egalitarianism is an MRA invention.

2018-02-28 13:44:19 UTC  

not actually irritated

2018-02-28 13:44:32 UTC  

if we were voice chatting you'd get what I mean

2018-02-28 13:44:43 UTC  

I have a hard time typing this

2018-02-28 13:45:10 UTC  

I do not believe people are equal in any way shape or form

2018-02-28 13:45:29 UTC  

That's not what equality before the law is.

2018-02-28 13:45:55 UTC  

If people were so similar, the society we have would not exist.

2018-02-28 13:46:25 UTC  

the law also doesn't treat people equally

2018-02-28 13:47:24 UTC  

That is to say, equality before the law exists because people aren't equal.

2018-02-28 13:48:01 UTC  

There would be far less need for it if everyone was equal in all things.

2018-02-28 13:48:43 UTC  

However, it is regularly violated with affirmative action, and rights being extended to some that are not extended to others.

2018-02-28 13:49:38 UTC  

Just as the second amendment is violated by numerous acts of firearms legislation.

2018-02-28 13:49:45 UTC  

why do you think it is regularly violated?

2018-02-28 13:50:22 UTC  

The same reason I think the 2nd amendment, a different legal construct, is regularly violated.

2018-02-28 13:50:50 UTC  

There are enforced laws on the books that violate them.

2018-02-28 13:51:58 UTC  

we all like the word liberty for example but people define it differently. I would say freedom from government and parts of my family would say freedom from responsibility

2018-02-28 13:52:21 UTC  

and I think those contrasting views

2018-02-28 13:53:39 UTC  

Neither are true.

2018-02-28 13:53:41 UTC  

make it so interpretation of law means a lot of people read it like poetry so I think the issue is deep in the human soul. Meaning I do not think people EVER have the power to apply law equally

2018-02-28 13:54:00 UTC  

Your rights can be violated by other groups.
