Hi. I’m a bit of a dissident here: a left-libertarian mutualist, albeit one with an affinity for Austrian School economic thought. Things I like: music, swimming, philosophy, linguistics, economics, extraterritorial law, laissez-faire socialism, bioregionalism, youth liberation, Stirnerite egoism T…

I’m quite aware of how difficult it is to put an end to discrimination. However, it should still be pursued, albeit through voluntary means.

VaguelyH, If you’re not bisexual, you discriminate.

I’d still take issue with that, as it can be “rational” (in the colloquial sense) to discriminate/act on certain stereotypes depending on circumstances. I would find discrimination repugnant if the circumstances are such that the discriminator has the opportunity to gain the relevant information bu…

Hey OP, welcome. Can you please define “laissez-faire socialism”? It is first time I see these two words in such a way (and I am still newbie in economics in general sense, so..).. P.S. I think, some people get similar reaction when they hear about “anarcho-capitalism”, though. haha.

“if you’re not bisexual, you discriminate” Haha, did you get that from a Walter Block’s joke?

LibertyS, you know what I mean. Also, I am bisexual, so that kinda backfired. Michael, not letting straight men into a lesbian bar isn’t prejudice/discrimination. Not letting lesbians into a bar that isn’t themed around sexual orientation is. Not letting black people play Abraham Lincoln in a play …

I too hate racism, sexism, statism but that’s just me. I’m up to my ears in isms.

Either none of that is discrimination, or all of it is. Why would you say that someone who’s black can’t play Abraham Lincoln? Plus, I’m pretty sure that casting actors for a play is entirely based on discrimination, if you look at it that way.

Saluton!

My thought on this:
