In a bizarre way, I can feel myself developing statistical intuitions. I’m becoming more confident but not necessarily competent haha.

That’s not putting words in people’s mouths. It’s a rhetorical technique called “reductio ad absurdio” which means to takes an argument to its extreme until it become ridiculous, thereby exposing its flaws.

Because this one caused the genocide of roughly 100,000,000 people who died or were taken.

Republicans want to privatize everything as part of their hatred of taxes and their want to hobble government. They have spent since George W. trying to decapitate the postal service to force people to use FedEx, UPS, and DHL.

You have a right to do many things but they will not always be appropriate or do anything to help humanity develop. Oh, and you missed the sarcastic rhetoric. You aren't asking questions, you are pasting in talking points that someone else wrote to detour the conversation and cast doubt on the rights of others. Stand up behavior.

What you are mentioning is something that happened before there was a Ghana. It was, however, done by countries that existed back then and still exist, and benefited from the system.

got it. a little bit of a thing happened to a whole variety of people so we can safely ignore the huge injustice that was forced upon an entire continent because these things are somehow equal.

Don’t forget the military. This will disenfranchise a large proportion of active duty members

I think that by nature you can’t really have a libertarian leader. Everyone is doing their own thing
