1-Life works differently from libertarian dogmas. People are not rational. They may prefer collective interests rather than individual interests. There are similarities between economic power and political power between companies and states. Discrimination effect is depend to circumstances of every cases. Discrimination of politically and economically weak minority is worst case. To be fair most developed countries and U.S. states are generally more liberal. I dont think discrimination is big problem. But reason is not libertarian ethic. Reason is politic and economic conditions.
2- Majority of pro-discrimination people arent libertarian. Likely they will behave like <woke> if they are target of discrimination.

Hard question! Maybe Perry on feminism, Eysenck autobiography, Discrimination myth, What we owe the future, and Spy and the traitor.

Have you tried to ask ChatGPT what it thinks about you? It is quite critical..
Used to write positive things about me, even wrote some poems which are probably nicer than anything a human has said 😂
