    I posted something about equality of opportunity not being the same thing as equality of outcome. It was in response to the article that Azrael linked to about the concepts of freedom and equality. My post was on point to the article. You are clearly talking about me (they!), even though what you just posted doesn't have a thing to do with I actually said, or what I was responding to.

    You used my post to jump into a sweeping generalization. "They never do." ... "always a transparent attempt" ... "Their version of "freedom is for the strong to prey on the weak."

    This is how you post on here over and over again, unfortunately.

    For the record, as is often the case when you quote a post of mine and try to turn me into a cartoon character, or you you make those kinds of sweeping generalizations that imply you are talking about me. ... no. Freedom doesn't have a version. It is defined. I believe what I posted, not some bullshit motivations you just assigned to me (they!). And I have never endorsed anyone "preying" on anyone else, in that post or anywhere else.

    Your beliefs are cartoonish. It’s pretty easy to reduce them as such.

    You called him "my guy" a few months ago.

    Don't back out of this. Stay on the ship like a man.

    “There are no versions of freedom” is the funniest thing I’ve seen posted on this board in ages. I can’t stop chuckling over it.

    A 20 year old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was smoking hot. Holy shit.

    This is dancing to Republicans. No wonder they are all agog at Ocasio-Cortez.

    The editors of NR =/= the writer I cited.

    Trump 2020: He might stereotype people, but at least he is a pawn of Russian oligarchs.

    These people aren't used to confident women. If they're minorities it's all the more distressing.
    As an admirer of skillful trolling I hope Ocasio-Cortez keeps doing her thing.

    I follow a small number of vocal native activists on Twitter, and they considered the DNA test to be in poor taste. White people claiming a percentage of native blood has a problematic history.
