    I am oppressing them because they deserve it for their beliefs.

    If you have a problem with that, ask yourself how much you enjoy living in the world run by alternative facts.

    (Obviously their challenge of power structures is itself based, their conclusions are simply flawed in rejecting structure itself rather than the institutions that try to define them for personal benefit)

      Are you saying the Trump administration are poststructuralists who believe everything is open to interpretation?

        No, I’m saying post structuralism creates an environment that doesn’t value objective truth enough for being a proven and malicious serial liar to sink a presidency.

          You don’t need objective truth to hate Trump. You can just subjectively believe rape is wrong. Are you saying you don’t have a subjective opinion against rape?

              You’re a moral objectivist, too? Shall I start calling you Ms Rand?

                  I think all rape is bad, due to my utilitarianism, and my conviction that rape is a deeply violating act which causes suffering that cannot be made up for

                  Now, explain your ancap objectivist viewpoint.

                    Those aren’t the same things, I’m an actual anarchist, great mind, and there’s a difference between objectivism and the word objectively much less the concept of objective morality as a whole, but sure.

                    Some things are just evil.

                    Speaking of evil, want to comment on what kind of genocide you find acceptable to “reduce total suffering” in the world?

                    Or how many rapes you’d accept to reduce the murder rate by x, since you’re only against rape because of “utilitarianism.”

                    Because that’s what utilitarianism actually means, despite your posing. You inherently view morality as subjective and accept that the end result can justify the means, so you will excuse rape when you personally think it’s “worth the cost.”

                    If you disagree with that, guess what, dipshit? You believe in at least one form of objective morality.
