The frontal lobe is used for reasoning and problem solving; why is it so difficult for y'all to utilize it instead of resorting to intellectual laziness via identity tribalism?

Is your political "team" so important to you that you fail to see or understand that your rights are being violated more and more every day, and that it matters not one bit who has assumed power to rule over us?

Do you actually believe you're free?

You first. Why do you identify as an anarcho-capitalist?

How do you know how I identify? I know, I know, I am not free because I pay property taxes.

With all your logic do you understand anarcho capitalism is a pipe dream?

Simple.

No one has the right to rule over others without consent, and property rights are absolute.

Not you, specifically; it is directed toward those who fall into ad hominem using corporate media talking points.

It's not just property taxes; it's all taxes.

Purely speculative. Prove that it's a pipe dream.

I agree this can happen, and personally like the idea of being an Independent, but it's over generalizing to say everyone who identifies more with one party than another (or happens to belong to one) does so to a "tribalism" extreme.

The reason it seems this way is that people on both extremes are the most vocal and try to dominate the dialogue.

LOL. prove that it would work. I have a friend who lived in a neighborhood that the city moved to private collection for trash. My buddy called and found he could get some bulk rates for collection if he could get enough neighbors together so the truck could make more than one stop on his block. For 6 months he tried to get his neighbors to get on board so they could get the discount. Never happened.

See, your argument fails simply because you think your beliefs infallible. I do not believe the same things you do, not because I am uneducated, but because I believe in a different way. Your belief system is a belief system. Don't impose it on me.

I don't consider myself a Democrat so much as that's how I typically vote. I tend to fall a bit further to the left, personally.
