12 thoughts on “Gamergate”

  1. When an author rants that freely available birth control and universal suffrage are abnormal abominations, I question his judgment on where the moral high ground is.

    1. Ya, that doesn’t make sense to me either. I think birth control should be freely available, as in easy to access in any store or from a doctor depending on what kind it is, but not “free” from the government.

      And who doesn’t think women and black people should be allowed to vote? Aside from Democrat stereotypes and straw men, the number of people thinking this in the USA has to be close to zero.

    1. It is also a bit blue on blue. You might see some on the right side with gamergate because they don’t like Democrat activists but the people of gamergate are not necessarily GOP voters.

  2. We have seen abominations like…universal suffrage become “acceptable

    Yeah, universal suffrage would be a terrible dictatorship of the left. That way lies the path to fascism.

      I’ll give you points for the attempted sarcasm, Dave, but have to take twice as many back for making a literally true statement.

      Universal would include children and has actually been proposed. Even giving woman the vote has lead us closer to state control as Ann Coulter has corrected Identified with historical data. The fact is, only a minority will educate themselves on the issues to vote in the interest of the country rather than be swayed by a popular demagogue.

      I might argue that only first born (adult man or woman) should vote because psychologically they take on the most rational responsibility for others.

      Giving the vote to everyone works for demagogues and fascists. Not so much for the rest of us.

  3. Do you actually believe that the governments that enforced Jim Crow, coverture, the ICC, the Comstock Law and anti-sodomy laws were more libertarian than the current one? Or that white males have some special immunity to demagoguery?

  4. white males have some special immunity to demagoguery

    Sheepdogs aren’t all white. Read my comment a bit more critically.

    Yes, sheepdogs do have a special immunity. Have you not noticed the pace into the abyss happening at an increasing rate.

  5. As far as I can tell, none of the historical limited suffrage schemes were particularly good at selecting sheepdogs as voters, although some did a good job of letting the foxes run the henhouse.

    And if you think moving away from Jim Crow, coverture, the ICC, the Comstock law and ant anti-sodomy laws were paces into the abyss, we must agree to disagree.
