A recipe for having some fun whenever this liberal world starts getting you down.

Step 1: Find yourself a libertarian friend who is passionate about either Ayn Rand, the Austrian School, anarcho-capitalism, or something similar. The more obscurantist the libertarian the better.

Step 2: Apply the following catechism:

You: So you believe that government’s role should be minimal? Libertarian: Yes You: And you believe that government shouldn’t impose morality on people? Libertarian: Yes You: So what’s the problem if individuals and the communities they form want to discriminate against racial groups? [this alone should be enough to have the intended effect but there’s always the outside chance of this next response] Libertarian: Racism is wrong but I believe that the market can be relied upon to correct such behavior. You: In other words, you would have told the civil rights era South that segregation is wrong but otherwise carry on with your bad self?

Step 3: Enjoy the cognitive dissonance that follows from bringing the individual’s intellectual beliefs in contradiction with the false morality that’s been programmed into him.
