> I'm a supporter of equalty outcomes...

Whenever someone says this, I become very leary of what they say next...to achieve "equal outcomes" you're gonna have to meddle in somebody's personal business at some point to achieve the desired "leveling"...this is bad news

That is correct...in some cases they'll even choose the woman/Black/Hispanic over a more qualified Asian or White candidate to boost their diversity numbers.
Having a .45 ACP pistol saved my life so I think I'll be keeping that as well...jammed rifles don't defend well against bears
What about your fellow citizens who don't live in LA, SF, or NY?

Guns aren't a hobby out in my rural town...we have bears, mountain lions, and wolves ...and livestock to protect....you can choose to not buy a gun if you want but I'll always keep mine as long as I live around nature's predators...

I live in a rural area with bears, mountain lions, and wolves...so I'll be keeping my guns for as long as I'm out here...I've killed 2 skunks in the last 3 months that would have killed my chickens...the parent comment on rural areas rings true to me.

Union electrician here...I can annectdotally counter your "categorical" claim...have you ever worked in a skilled trade union?
> When laid bare, it's an appeal to ignorance.

Or you could say that it's an appeal to numerous studies (psychological and sociological), most of human history, and prudence...

> If I stop working, I'll get kicked out of my house and will probably die of hunger. Does it mean I am forced to work?

This is such a bad argument in my opinion...living is working...it might not be at a job in an office, but if you want to eat/drink/shelter, you're going to have to work one way or the other...your question kinda seems like complaining about the fact that consuming calories and water and making shelter to live is not forced already, when it is by nature...

> is it immoral to have them do literally anything to defray the cost of their imprisonment?

It depends on your definition of immoral...

It sounds boring...

> This is our only option to unify the earth

Why do we think that a unified earth will be a good thing? It seems too utopian to me...

I cover these up with a bag before getting close to being in view...
