I disagree with freedom of association, right from irrational discrimination and bodily autonomy.

  • Domestic abuse should be a political issue, but it's almost impossible to police people in their own homes. So maybe people shouldn't be able to date whoever they want since people aren't good judges of character and ignore glaring red flags. I would prefer for the government to prevent abusers from preying on gullible people. Yes, that's a wild idea... but domestic abuse is a major problem everywhere because, let's be real, people just want be "carefree" (idiotic) and fuck. So no to freedom of association. Also, sex trafficking is a major problem because of this freedom. Dozens of men are meeting to rape trafficked women/girls in one location. People should call the police to say "I've seen 35 men going in and leaving a house today... they may be raping victims of sex trafficking in there."

  • Irrational discrimination (I'm thinking about paranoia) can be beneficial for potential victims, but people turn it around as "victim-blaming". For example, when a black young woman Renisha McBride (19) was shot and killed while seeking help in a white neighborhood after 4am, that could've been avoided had she not been in a white neighborhood to begin with. Racists have an irrational fear of us (black people), so the onus is on us to stay the fuck away from them.

  • Bodily autonomy. I don't really support the "my body, my choice" bullshit because millions of insecure, self-hating people are being exploited by the cosmetic industry (sadistic surgeons)... those people are volunteering to be test subjects in unethical experiments.

    “Intra-racial crime” is really proximity crime. It’s much less likely that a black person would have killed a black woman (who was obviously injured and needed help) for knocking on their door trying to get assistance.

      She wasn’t killed by a cop. And unless you’re saying that cops are the ones killing everyone I don’t see how that’s relevant.
