    The article was interesting and I agree we're all biased. My question isn't who is biased but who acts out based on their biases. If that were equal as a tendency to be biased might be, then conservatives would be rioting, looting, burning, and killing just like liberals. Republicans would call for party members to "fight in the streets" as Sen. Tim Kaine called for Democrats to do. And then there's the news media, the universities, the public schools where their biases are promoted, taught, and no other biases are allowed.

    I'm not sure that bias and violence are necessarily as linked as your comments seem to indicate you think they are. In any case, projecting the rioters' action onto their assumed political affiliation and anyone associated with it has no basis in logic or fact. Do you similarly look at the uniformly pro-Trump White nationalist and neo-Nazi rally crowds and assume that there is something about conservatism that inspires hatred and prejudice?

    As for the bolded sentence, above, have you read any of this forum's recent threads on the themes of revolution, civil war, "taking the country back from the liberals", etc.? About the plans to assassinate judges, mayors, sheriffs and other public figures and blow up utilities and infrastructure? Kind of makes vandalizing some police cars and burning down stores seem like kid stuff, doesn't it?

    I think the left acts on their biases more these days because they are justified if not encouraged as you say by politicians and media to feel self-righteous.

    As a libertarian, aka anti-authoritarian, how do you create equality?

    Equal Rights for everyone.

    I also believe in Positive Rights -- thus some Conservatives are angry at me.

    All Humans need food, shelter, and medical care to survive. In my opinion, Society must ensure everyone's access to these rights.
