They don't believe in consent. It's amazing.

There should be no public lands. Those lines could just as easily be run through easements by private property owners.

Who's "our?"

If want to snort a couple lines of cocaine, do I have to "leave the country" since it's against the "rules?"

If I don't want to pay taxes because I'm sick of my money being used to blow people up overseas, do I have to "leave the country" since it's against the "rules?"

It certainly does. The posts you brought up were not hyperbole because they were based in fact, not falsehoods like "Obama's a Muslim communist" or "Trump's a Neo-Nazi."

That's political hyperbole.

Are you purposely being thick?

The United States.


If you want to snort coke without it being illegal, then yes, you’ll need to find another country.

Here’s a suggestion for the anarchists in this thread:

Go buy a boat, and sail for international waters. Problem also solved.
Why should I have to sacrifice my right to property or self-ownership?
