Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

No, I think correcting yourself when you make a mistake and failing miserably is stupid. And you 'thinking' you're making me look foolish is just icing on the cake.
Let's sum up:
You can't understand a simple sentence explaining that you accept that there are common-sense limitations on the principles of liberal democracy (like freedom of speech), but you don't accept that there are also common-sense limitations on the principles of anarchy (like freedom of association).
Then you tell me that I'm in denial about... something? It isn't clear, really.
Then you tell me that I'm stupid for editing a spelling mistake.
What a hero to dig in your heels and die on the dumbest possible straw-man hill. I have so much to learn from you. I've changed my mind, thank you for correcting me with your angsty-teenager understanding of anarchism. o7
Incorrect summation. You uttered a nonsensical statement full of condescension, edited the post for some reason, but left it nonsense. Then, despite being told twice now haven't figured it out and still think you're the one making ME look the fool.
Way to represent anarchism. Bunch of ignorant self-centred halfwits not truly comprehending the meaning and inevitable futility of the actual belief system, but glomming onto it because it justifies THEM not having to follow rules.
...You realize it's all there, right?
ETA: for everyone to see?
I'm honestly starting to think you cannot see it due to some LD so I'll just leave it for everyone to see until you figureidout. Until then I'll just look like I'm being mean to someone that can't help it, so (and this is how you aktually do it FTR) have a nice day.
Sure buddy.
I'm glad you found a way to disengage without having to think about it. Must be a pretty fragile ego you have there if you go to such hilarious lengths to protect it.
