Is political affiliation a protected class?

[Rigby5]

You're bonkers. Refusing to give someone a loan (or a job, or food, or housing) is not attempted murder.

YES IT MOST CERTAINLY IS ATTEMPTED MURDER.
When a qualified person is denied job, food, housing, etc., they can NOT survive.
They will die.
That is deliberate murder.

And in fact, those would deliberately and illegally discriminate, can be legally killed in self defense.

Protected classes extend way beyond the 1964 explicitly added classes.
These are just the ones so often abused that they need to be specifically listed.
They are NOT the only protected classes.
Political affiliation has ALWAYS been a protected class, for centuries.

Nope. You're just making shit up.

YES IT MOST CERTAINLY IS ATTEMPTED MURDER.

AND YOU ARE MOST CERTAINLY BONKERS.

Agreed. It's "they won't do what I want them to".

Huh? How in what I posted did you come up with that? Has nothing to do with "want', I laid out the problem and it has nothing to do with "they won't do what I want them to".

That's how protected classes work. That's what you're arguing for. If someone doesn't accommodate you because of your politics, you want to be able to sick the government on them and make them do it.

Hmm, so this is your stance for anyone under protected class status? Gay, black, religious? All of it? None of them should have protection against discrimination and unfair treatment?

Yes.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Yes.

Ok. Well I understand your argument now. You're consistent in your application of your stance.

 

[Soupnazi630]

Wrong.
When you get a permit to open a business, it clearly says you can not discriminate against customers.

No it does not

Permits are immoral and government tyranny.

You do not justify violations by the government with more violations from the government

Discrimination is EXTREMELY harmful, and therefore illegal.
Protected classes extend way beyond the 1964 explicitly added classes.
These are just the ones so often abused that they need to be specifically listed.
They are NOT the only protected classes.
Political affiliation has ALWAYS been a protected class, for centuries.
It is only recently anyone has been ignorant and blatant enough to even try to discriminate based on political affiliation.

It harms no one and is only illegal because of the authoritarian leanings of socialists/
