I cheered these arguments - and made them myself - back when I was a smug, 20yo no-exceptions libertarian drenched in Ayn Rand (you know the type - I am sorry).

Back then, I would give the purist libertarian/ individualist argument for why $15 in annual taxes that help save millions abroad from HIV, malaria, and starvation was nonetheless a violation of my property rights and a path to parasitic dependency for those impoverished orphans born with HIV.

Now, I'm still generally libertarian. But also much older, with a greater sense that life is short, we're all just passing through, and ideological purity should not be an automatic barrier to making life easier for people who have it worse than me.

So while I get the libertarian argument below, I also know we do not live in theory - we live in the real world where millions of real people can die as a consequence of our decisions. And people who are THAT offended that their "coerced" $15/yr helps save millions of lives have let ideological purity sacrifice their humanity. And if that makes me a sell-out "statist," so be it.

(and I'm not trying to pick on John, who is expressing a common framework that I once adopted myself).

The USMNT 🇺🇸 is about to deploy a 38 year old Tim Ream and Miles Robinson on defense vs Germany.

Germany hasn’t seen a defense this bad since France in World War 2

Christian Nationalism looks like seeing Jesus hanging on the cross and saying, "he should have just obeyed the law."

Christian Nationalism looks like the Samaritan leaning over to the man beaten on the side of the road and saying, "before I pay for your treatment and shelter, tell me, are you here legally?"

Christian Nationalism looks like Jesus saying to his disciples before feeding the 5,000, "go make sure everyone here has a job and isn't just looking for a handout."

Christian Nationalism looks like using the Bible to seek first the power of the empire rather than the self sacrificial love of Jesus.

Christian nationalism looks like worshiping power rather than loving God and our neighbors.

Christian nationalism looks nothing like the real Jesus.

@GrandPOOBear Max is still mathematically in it as long as Lando doesn't score 2pts more than him in Qatar.

i don’t even gaf if the fate of ophelia has the best musical beat ever conceived, as an ACTUAL english major, i refuse to listen to a song that implies ophelia might’ve reconsidered killing herself if she had just dated a quarterback

pato o’ward, a competitive racing driver, is allowed to be a bit of a sore loser immediately after the biggest race of the year didn’t go as he would’ve liked

Somehow I don’t think this will be at the head of the Disney+ queue ever. In fact I’m not sure they are aware they made it. But that was an incredibly fun summer in North Carolina 30 years ago. #Heavyweights

Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend.

[Talkin’ Colts @TalkinnColts]

Pat is 100% correct.

This is a culture issue. No one should have ever pushed our biggest supporter out.

Fucking brutal.

Do I think it was a AR QB issue? No.

I stand by that.

Do I think it’s a culture issue and he comes into a SOFT building and doesn’t know better?

100%

Complete team victory for the Butler Bulldogs tonight. All 3 groups played well and @justin_dungy got his first action of the season. Big win as Bulldogs get to 3-0 with a 53-0 win. #Let’sGoDawgs

@AndrwHouse @Hertz That's why you carry both when you travel

[I appreciate you. @DeeLaSheeArt]

I procrastinated every single assignment until the pressure to get it done kicked in 24-48 beforehand where I didn’t eat or sleep until it was done at 11:59

[Destin Adams @TheDestinAdams]
