Well, his comparison of slaves moving to other plantation to citizens moving to other country is factually correct. You don't like the system? Move. You are being raped? Move. You are being agressed upon? Move. Seem like ultimate answer here is to move. I stepped on your toe? Move. I slept with your daughter? Move. I burned your house? Move. It can't get more absurd than this.
So again, don't blame the comparison. Blame your delusional thinking. I'm sure there are books about critical thinking and how to make a rational argument.
Go back to /r/shitstatistssay and stop brigading us. It's not a coincidence that everyone besides you, a known SSS redditor, is downvoted. Especially since this thread was linked to SSS.
Go back to /r/EnoughLibertarianSpam and stop brigading us. It's not a coincidence that everyone besides myself and Maik3550 is an ELS member. Especially since this thread was linked to ELS.
What now?
I like the part where you accuse me, a member of SRD since its inception, of being from ELS.
And I've been a member of SRD since its inception as well - also a member of reddit since before it was acquired by Conde Nast and before there were even any subreddits.
So by that logic, none of us are "from" ELS or SSS and you've contradicted yourself.
So now that that's settled, what next?
EDIT Oh 3 downmods so far in 4 minutes. This must be that ELS "not brigading" part you're talking about.
The vast majority of your posts are from SSS. You rarely if never post here in SRD. You're not fooling anyone. /u/Maik3550 has a ton of posts in SSS and almost none I can find in SRD besides this one.
The last few SRD threads that have been linked to SSS all have titles like "SRD shows they hate libertarians." And now we have a thread where all the "anti-libertarian" posts here are being downvoted. Surely it's not us in SRD who hate libertarians who are suddenly all downvoting the anti-libertarian posts, is it?
>EDIT Oh 3 downmods so far in 4 minutes. This must be that ELS "not brigading" part you're talking about.
Can't possibly be the SRD regulars or anything.
>The vast majority of your posts are from SSS. You rarely if never post here in SRD. You're not fooling anyone. /u/Maik3550[1] [+18] has a ton of posts in SSS and almost none I can find in SRD besides this one.
No, the vast majority of my posts are not SSS. Every year or so I wipe my account out and start over. I've probably given up 100K karma doing that because I don't get butthurt over karma.
>The last few SRD threads that have been linked to SSS all have titles like "SRD shows they hate libertarians."
And in most of them I pointed out, like I am now, ELS using SRD as a brigade staging point and in every thread they post accounting for more than half of the posts.
>And now we have a thread where all the "anti-libertarian" posts here are being downvoted.
Sounds like opposite day where normally all of the pro-libertarian posts are being downvoted by ELS regulars in SRD threads posted by ELS members.
Oh wait - no, looks like you got the ELS bump here too, on a dead topic.
>Surely it's not us in SRD who hate libertarians who are suddenly all downvoting the anti-libertarian posts, is it?
Let's see, I see downvotes on all of the libertarian posters here. Just mad your pathetic rabble isn't on their bravery brigade game tonight?
>Can't possibly be the SRD regulars or anything.
In which case too bad your ELS thread didn't work out. SRD regulars, who love posting on dead topics, didn't like it...
Can you guys possibly not contradict yourselves every other post?
>I've probably given up 100K karma doing that because I don't get butthurt over karma.
"I'm not butthurt over karma but this is the especially high amount of karma I've given up where's my cookie?"
>Oh wait - no, looks like you got the ELS bump here too, on a dead topic.
It's not a dead topic. We've been discussing it on the SRD IRC.
>In which case too bad your ELS thread didn't work out. SRD regulars, who love posting on dead topics, didn't like it...
my ELS thread? lol. I've made maybe a total of two posts in ELS total.
This is a great tactic SSS has. Just accuse those who catch them brigading of brigading themselves. The joke is on you because you're the one who rarely posts in SRD and yet here you are, brigading us in SRD. SRD is my home, you're the brigader.
>It's not a dead topic. We've been discussing it on the SRD IRC.
So you admit to organizing an off-site brigade via IRC. Good work.

That's a great tactic ELS has. Just accuse those who catch them brigading of brigading themselves. The joke is on you because I've been on reddit longer than you have and reddit is my home, you're the brigader.

Yes, SRD is brigading....SRD? Are you on drugs?
>The joke is on you because I've been on reddit longer than you have and reddit is my home, you're the brigader.
lol yes you are on drugs.
Here's to hoping there's also a rape comparison that manages to trivialize rape victims because they don't like forking over that precious theft-moneys at literal gunpoint.
Well, now that taxation has been compared to rape, theft, and slavery....I mean really, what can you say after that? "Taxation is attempted murder"....doesn't have the same ring to it. "Taxation is watching the Garbage Pale Kids in Blu-ray extended edition" could work.
If we're going to get ridiculous let's go for gold.

What a fitting subreddit for that comment to be in.
I think we're being brigaded by /r/ShitStatistsSay
http://www.reddit.com/r/Shitstatistssay/comments/1mmyk0/donttheyevergettiredofthis/
I for one am shocked, shocked to see a brigade from that subreddit, and the topvoted comment in this thread is from an SSS poster.
