Having done the research, nope. The "heritability" comes down to whether or not your parents teach you that pedophilia is bad, and that Black people should exist

Wait, you think Free Staters are a "marginalized group"? Like, you think choosing to be a contrarian dickhead is any way similar to being queer or BIPOC?

What sort of minority? Because I'm struggling to work out how an abled cishet white man is getting hatred and threats of violence for just existing

Genuinely think I'd prefer going to prison over the psych ward

My friends are genuinely the only reason I haven't been committed - they have sat with me and checked up on me on nights where I was pretty sure I could manage the suicidal thoughts but couldn't be sure, and if they weren't there I would not be able to stay away from the ER.

I'm super glad you don't have to worry about this, and don't care about people who do!

Mine's not even remotely related to "I cannot own a gun" because I already sort of can't (legally I can, but for my own safety I cannot) and have zero interest in owning one because I have no interest in hunting. It's definitely not an "important cultural aspect" for a lot of people.
I do not want to be involuntarily committed because I do not want to lose my right to my dignity, to my possessions, and I absolutely do not want to lose control of pretty much everything. I don't want to sit in a psych ward that is understaffed, in clothes that aren't mine, without the objects I use to comfort myself, being forced to take medication that I am afraid of having a bad reaction to.
I do go to therapy, and I do take my meds. But I often will shy away from discussing my suicidal thoughts with my therapist because I am TERRIFIED of being locked up. I had a not-stellar childhood that involved pretty strict control from one of my parents, and getting committed would actively make that trauma so much worse.

Sounds kind of like a dumb way to vote, and like you're too lazy to do your own research. Aren't you guys supposed to be "independent thinkers"?

I'm saying a libertarian is not facing actual marginalization/persecution, yup. This dude isn't experiencing discrimination, he's experiencing the consequences of his beliefs and actions.
