Not buying it

I was arguing with a communist today (a terrible waste of time, I might add), and after making an outright stupid assumption, making death threats, and stating that issue wasn't up for discussion, he goes on to claim he used to be a minarchist.

I'm not buying it.

This person flatly refuses to listen to libertarian arguments, and hates me because I came to similar conclusions from a different path. This person certainly isn't rational, and quite possibly not sane. At best, in their younger, more rational days, they were a "left" libertarian. They certainly weren't a minarchists capitalist.

I'm just astonished by some of these people. If we can't discuss things, how are we supposed to come to the conclusions in the first place?

Off Hiatus

I think I'm going to come off hiatus here.

I spent the summer and autumn thus far blunting my ignorance on Tumblr, but I'm thinking this could be a good intermediate staging ground for my thoughts. It'd be nice to appear to jump right from gathering data to articulating the decisive counter-argument.

However, I'm probably going to still do some of the intermediate stuff over there, because I can get more input.
