Politics has gotten to you? You ready to quit?
How is that possible, when thinking for other people is all you do?
Can you live & let live?
Why would anyone want to be FORCED, to think like someone else?
Have you ever understood, why war is waged? What is always the trigger.
Unless we wish the United States of America to become an authoritarian socialist welfare state. Of which it's on its way to becoming. Quitting is not an option. It's not a matter of thinking for other people. It's more of a matter of getting other people TO THINK.

You can usually tell the politics trolls because they're short on detailed knowledge of policy and rely heavily on attacks and overly simplistic terms to avoid spending time on self-education on policies. See heavy use of epithets such as left/liberal, righty/conservative, democratic/authoritarian, capitalist/socialist, free market/welfare state, russian trolls, and so on since they see everything in simplistic black-and-white terms like a child without any nuanced views. A lot of the topics/post appear to be attempts to bump page views by titles that distort the topic or by resorting to a lot of name-calling.

Every war has been lit, by someone thinking for someone else, and they said NO.

You're combining two different claims lacking any logical connection:
(1) Crone thinks BB is on someone's troll payroll (not necessarily a Russian one), and
(2) Crone doesn't believe BB having a right to express his claim.
Note well: the truth or falsity of either claim is irrelevant
I still see no logical connection between the two claims. Still, I will say this:
Given C-D's typical moderation standards, it's difficult to see how anyone with even 500 total posts can believe real or alleged trolls have no right to post here, so long as they remains within the established posting rules. That means even if someone believes a troll (even actual ones) have a right to post on here, it does not follow that any speculation about whether or not that particular person is a troll equal "lost right to post on this particular board, given this boards customary moderation standards".

I called him out for going against his own favorite pet theory of how human societies operate best -- conforming to nature in the dog-eat-dog struggle sense, in effect, Social Darwinism. He supported US Senator Ted Cruz when he kowtowed to Trump after his inauguration - even after he grossly insulted Cruz's wife against Beto O'Rourke, who clearly took a chance by supporting "taking a knee" - a politically risky move in Texas state-wide races. If he were true to his Social Darwinism, he would have eschewed Cruz in favor of Beto, because Cruz was too weak to continue calling out Trump's egregious behaviors while Beto took a risk by openly supporting, at a campaign stop, "taking a knee".
