There's something special about seeing someone defend the Florida ban on cultured meat as "libertarian", on the grounds that it's a defensive move against hypothetical future plans to ban animal meat.

Much like trade wars, fighting bans with bans is another variant on the strategy of defeating your opponent by punching yourself in the face until they give up.

Or, as Nietzche might have said, "if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss crawls right up your asshole and eats your brain".
