    @Snowden @iconoclasst1 Identity politics are collectivist. I thought you were an individualist.

        @Snowden I don't see an issue being a collectivist if you are trying to protect others. That doesn't make you less of an individualist.

        @FromPawnToQueen @MiheliosDina @Snowden True; it's in an individual's interest to defend others' rights as we all have the same rights.

        @Snowden Social justice is an ambiguous term that sounds good, but means something different to everyone. There's only individual justice.

        @Snowden Destroy the concept of the State. #Selfownership is solidarity; it gives people back the agency the State has stolen from them.
