The Conservatives think you're too Liberal.
The Communists and Socialists hate your guts since they're always arguing about who gets to make resource decisions and you pointing out that no one NEEDS someone else to make that call kicks the foundations out from under their argument.
The Libertarians think you're a threat cause you're either what they'd like to be and do not dare, or cause they're a Randroid pretending those values to get their way and a natural enemy.
The Greens can't stand you cause you point out that Government has more often enabled or initiated ecological carnage than prevented it.
And the Fascists utterly despise you cause you stand in total opposition to everything they are.
While the Government hates you cause you generally ignore them and consider them irrelevant.
Hell is a pretty nice place, when there's nobody in charge of it, you know.

YOU, yes YOU, have the right to not own a tool.
I, yes I, have the right to own a tool.
The end.
Anything else is the puling of the pathetic.

Hello,
The Puling of the Pathetic?
Don't martial arts teach you to show respect to your opponent any more?
That used to be a thing, when I was young.

Never forget what this man is. You keep forgiving him his trespasses and speak to him as though he is a reasonable human being. You keep forgetting the things he's advocated. If you respond to this man again, you are being foolish.

I'm sorry that you are so simple minded that you have to deal with the world in only black and white.
...am also sorry for the person who has explain to you what I mean.

Speakin o which...
There's also an inherent right to BE a tool.
But goddamn Wulfie, there's times I wish you'd refrain from exercising it.
Oh and Nick - I might point out that I am prolly not anything like most Anarchists you've met, and certainly not anything like the strawman perceptions fostered about em, certainly I don't get along too well with the rest of em, mostly cause of a specific set of hypocrisy they fall into.
If you go round smashing social-legal structures other people WANT - are you not then imposing your will on them by force as much as any Government ?
But we can discuss that another time and place.

If you would like I'm up for it. We can start a thread. For me Anarchy like libertarianism does not seem t hold up. Maybe your way of Anarchy is different.

No "pure" form of any ideology will "hold up", though. Not pure liberalism, pure conservatism, pure libertarianism, pure anarchism, pure socialism, pure communism, pure capitalism, or pure anything else. It's all pure horseshit.

"Removing guns is a crutch that serves only to place the weak at the mercy of the strong."
Or place people sitting in their living room at the mercy of a drive-by. The idea that somehow guns 'equalize' the weak with the strong is false. Guns empower the aggressive.

Hello,
Initiative empowers the aggressive. Though initiative can be taken by the defender as well. But that's another discussion.

It's factually incorrect to say that a gun can't serve to level the playing field between the weaker and the stronger. It can. It has.

They can level the field in some situations. In others they can increase a person's risk of being killed.
