Free people are free to do foolish things. You do not need political rights to do or say popular things. Even slaves do that. People can do weird stuff only where the Proper Authorities leave them alone.

Who said anything about rights?
This sad man did what he did for the attention. Mutilating yourself isn't against the law, though maybe it should be.

Well it should be if you think correct behavior is important that freedom. I can see both sides of it.

You are deliberately misstating my position, putting words in my mouth I did not say. And you know you're doing it.

You do not seem to understand your own position. Free people are free to do stupid, unpopular things. That is what freedom is for. We do not need to do free to wise and popular things.
Really, if this guy wants to tattoo his eyeballs it is not anyone else's business.

It is the responsibility of big government to step in and stop people from making mistakes. People do not know what is good for them. They are morons. They do things like vote for uneducated populists. When people are harming their own interests through their own stupidity, the smart people need to step in to put a stop to it. People are bitches, we should stop pandering to the masses. That's the thing we need to learn from Trump, Brexit, Turkey, Russia. And they have to be better than the average Joe. Because that's the point we are at, problems are over the head of the average Joe.
What you're arguing for is libertarianism. Are you aware of that? How do you usually react to some bullethead spewing libertarian ideas in public?

Nope. I just simple freedom. Society has no particular reason to be upset if someone wants to file his teeth into points. Neither do you. His behavior is not impinging on society.
Other than scaring the horses.
