Re: Laughter is the best medicine, my friend

They are not politically compatible with each other any more than liberalism and Nazism are compatible,

Well yeah, they are!

They both want me to stop smoking!

That is still supporting state intervention to censure someone who did not commit a violent act against another person. That still goes against core civil liberties, and forcibly separating a child from an adult she may love and trust when he didn't commit an act of demonstrable harm on her "just in case" he did goes against any reasonable conception of civil liberties.

He still hasn't answered my question: if he supports AOC laws because "children can be forced to lie", then how does he plan to tell apart consensual from forced sexual acts in order to apply this distinction?

Obviously he can't. The same proof that he needs to tell apart consensual from forced is the same one he rejects outright by upholding AOC laws. Of course, he needs to believe he can reconcile both positions. But it's just not possible.
