Do you think people like Rosa Parks should have started their own nation? [0]

What an incredibly frightening way of thinking.

Why do so many libertarian dudes suddenly all want to be Rosa Parks? And how did they miss the part where she was arrested and convicted, as part of a coordinated activist effort to change specific laws?

She didn't just break the law and expect there to be no consequences. That's not how non-violence resistance works.

Rosa Park fought to get equal rights. You want to have privileges. The fact that you don't see that is the only frightening thinking here.

What we want is the right to be left alone. It's a form of nonviolent resistance.

Wanting to be left alone is exactly a privilege.
