Nevvy Z posted:I would think not or what's the point in having it at all? Apparently Griffin v. California argues that a refusal by invoking the fifth amendment cannot even be commented on by a judge or the prosecution. It doesn't seem to make much sense outside of the constitutional context though. It seems to allow a defendant the ability to hide evidence via omission without any logical consequence of doing so. But then I remember that the justice system is typically a weapon used on the vulnerable, and to prevent as many miscarriages of justice against the innocent as we can, illogical rules are the price we pay.

It's not illogical, it's having a different goal. If your goal is to reduce the amount of power the justice system has over vulnerable individuals and prevent abuses, it's very logical. That's why saying something is "illogical" doesn't mean anything and why leaving behind that kind of thinking is necessary to understanding the justice system. And also to not being a lovely person.

I spent many years there as a child. Jacksonville, Florida is the closest I've seen to a city simply being a large featureless grey box. I truly believe that there is a Hell mouth somewhere in that drat state, and I hope one day is gets sucked in, never to be seen again. But like all nasty gnarly penises of the world, it's not going anywhere and you're just gonna have to figure out how to deal with it, even as the crusty scabs falling off make you gag.

Main Paineframe posted:Maybe not, but there are absolutely 200 million racists, which is what I was talking about. The fact that you hear "racist" and immediately think of neo-Nazis waving swastikas is pretty striking. What about the millions of judges, teachers, and hiring managers quietly dismissing black people as just somehow not as good as white people? What about the tens of millions of wealthy white suburbanites who just "wouldn't feel safe" if black people moved into their neighborhood? If you think the only racists out there are people wearing KKK hoods, you're closer to being part of the problem than part of the solution. It's also a look at the larger question of how to deal with people this loving broke-brained. I mean, death-to-fascists rhetoric aside, you're not supposed to just shoot all of them or advocate for that, there's no magic pill or psychosurgery that will solve the problem, how else are you supposed to treat people this far gone but with institutionalization and aggressive therapy?

There was a brief moment where libertarianism was more than just "i'm a republican but young enough to know republicans suck", but they've been absorbed into democrats/bernie/new republicans since. I mean, in all practicality the democratic party is the Libertarian party, seeing as they're relaxed on social issues, favor privatized solutions, and tend to stress themselves on Balanced Budget-ing welfare programs. So the odds of an independent libertarian being libertarian based on actual libertarian ideology is super-slim

Few libertarians will admit in-person to a desire to destroy the state, because there's too many debate pitfalls involving bipartisan programs everyone supports. Instead they attempt to point to budgetary issues that they believe could be solved via privatization.

it depends on if we're talking about bush-era libertarians or obama-era libertarians. bush-era libertarians were people who held republican positions on economics, but also didn't like the iraq war and liked weed. their positions would have destroyed the government, but they didn't really push them that hard, and the bush-era credit bubble made that kind of "privatize literally everything" conservatism palatable to mainstream audiences because the crash hadn't happened yet. obama-era libertarians were more along the lines of "ron paul, audit the fed, purestrain gold, ayn rand is basically jesus, etc..." these people got radicalized and became part of the tea party movement and later the alt-right. the 2008 meltdown caused libertarians to either reexamine their beliefs (and become socialists) or double down.

Dead Reckoning posted:"People with bad opinions need to be forcibly institutionalized and re-educated" is not a road you should be going down. I seriously hope this entire conversation is an attempt at ironic humor. I mean, when they're pretty much objectively bad opinions, there's a bunch of people like that, how do the rest us deal with them? Aren't we approaching a point where we will have to decide whether we actually have any self-confidence in our own morality, when we'll be pushed into choosing between "this is right and that is wrong" and "I actually have no opinions"?

JeffersonClay posted:Gary Johnson ran on abolishing the department of commerce, HUD, DoEd, and literally "any other department" that congress voted to abolish. Yes, and that's why he lost steam. He fell into the trap of having to defend the idea of defunding things people liked, rather than sticking to "Balanced Budget" rhetoric. "Balanced Budget" of today and "Privatize everything" are exactly the same in modern times. Trying to point to FDR despite the fact that we literally have debt that decreases with time and mountains of studies showing that the targets people who tout Balanced Budgets aim for would in fact lose us money by being defunded, is the equivalent of the republicans' "Lincoln was a republican!" poo poo.
