So when Britain eventually goes to shit, I should consider moving to Winnipeg?

Liberalism is also quite a broad term, which on its own can only really be said to constitute a belief in "equal rights for everyone including the right to private property". The Liberal Democrats, for example, are so-called because they were formed from the merger of the (classically liberal) Liberal Party, and the Social Democratic Party. They are more like libertarians in the sense that they were broadly pro-market but less authoritarian than the tories, but their policy platform has always been more like something that would be described as social liberalism.

In my experience, the word liberal is generally not used so much in UK politics (outside of the name of the Lib Dems), but if someone self-described themselves as a liberal, I think it would be generally understood as socially liberal rather than libertarian.

Your mind would have to be positively cavernous.

Sir, you have insulted my ancestors, and I cannot allow this insult to stand. I challenge you to a duel!

People have known that water fluoridation is an international communist plot to sap and impurity our precious bodily fluids since at least the 50s!

Because using what little influence you have to prevent a trans genocide means you are endorsing Palestinian genocide, and are therefore a fascist. /s

It's true. REAL anti-fascists only live in safe, non-fascist places. If you stay and try to fight the fascists, then you're really just a fascist. /s

I've been using minoxidil and finasteride on and off for some years (on and off roughly correlating to hopeful and hopeless periods of mental health).

I've been informed by some hair loss people that at this stage they don't think there's any point wasting money on PRP or LLLT or anything like that, but I did recently buy a derma roller anyway, since they're cheap and one can always hope for a miracle.

I think I'll try to stick with a "delulu is the solulu" outlook until I've at least been on full dose HRT for a year or so and then cut my losses.

The essence of the trolley problem is to ask whether choosing not to exercise the agency that you have is a moral choice. The fact that you may not have complete control over the outcome doesn't make the analogy bad in and of itself.

Suppose everyone else except you had already voted and exit polls suggested Trump had won by one vote. Would you vote, then? I don't care what your answer is would be; that is between you and your own conscience. But, is the situation really so different from the real world situation where for all you know your vote might actually count?

You can disagree that the trolley problem comparison is apt, but I think calling it "deceitful and self-serving" is a stretch.

FWIW I am from the UK and I don't care whether you vote or not.

If you hate imperialism hard enough, a viable third party candidate will emerge. You just have to try harder. /s
