Yes wouldn’t it be nice to live in a eutopian world of everyone doing the right thing but you realize that his thinking is flawed, and the one point he falls back on of serving or not serving a person depending on your whims is where it completely falls apart. You open a business and are able to turn away anyone you want because, “fuck you, I don’t like you” is in fact forcing the other person to not be free to shop where he/she wants. Kind of the same thing that happened not that long ago, something that was called segregation. Ya that worked well. Yup he’s winning lol.
Let's dissect your amazingly obtuse post which rests on a foundation of contradiction...
The error in your ahem "thought process" is you are misunderstanding the nature of property and the nature of the thing being contested in this discussion.
Property when the ownership is defined, serves as a kind of baseline, which other rights flow from or are inextricably mingled with. You can't be the one being violated if you are the one removing another persons rights, which is what you seem to be suggesting.The delineating thing that must be considered in whether a persons freedom (in this case liberty or right might be a better word) has been violated is to know WHO owns the thing in question.
If I came to your house, came to your owned place of business, or came in your mouth and you did not want me there. I would be the one violating your right. The reason why is, IT IS YOUR PROPERTY. Other peoples property requires their consent if you want to use it, failing to get their consent and doing so anyway, makes the person acting absent consent the aggressor, hence the rights violator. If you don't agree, with the foregoing sentence, tell me why please.
If I took your car and you did not want me to, I would be the one violating your right, The reason why is IT IS YOUR POPERTY.
You may not like me because of some superficial physical characteristic I possess and even say, "ain't no bigfoot stealing my car", but the reason why I'd be the one violating your right, is, IT'S NOT MY PROPERTY and you don't want me using it.
So, when you posit that it is a violation of another persons "freedom" to not be able to violate another person's right, you can't possibly be arguing for "equal rights". I've never argued for the freedom to do anything to OTHER peoples property, since that right doesn't exist.
Segregation?
Your comparison to "segregation" isn't a good one and actually helps make my argument for me. Thank you.
Presumably the reason most people don't like segregation is because when it was instituted, it was government forcibly REMOVING other WILLNG persons right to self determine their property (themselves) and interact on a voluntary and mutual basis if both chose to. Do I have to connect the rest of the dots for you or can you figure out the rest?
