Anarcho capitalist

A person whose philosophy is based on the idea of individual sovereignty, and a prohibition against theft, coercion and fraud. It sees the only just basis for law as arising from private property norms and an unlimited right of contract between free and sovereign individuals. From this basis, anarcho-capitalism rejects the state as an unjustified monopolist and systematic aggressor against sovereign individuals, and embraces anti-statist laissez-faire capitalism. Anarcho-capitalists would aim to protect individual liberty and property by replacing government monopoly, which is involuntarily funded through theft by taxation, with private, competing businesses that use physical force only in defense of liberty and property against aggressors. Hence, they believe that all goods and services, including law, order, and security, should be supplied through the mechanism of a free market.
Anarcho capitalists know that when you keep all of what you produce, you have an incentive to produce more, thus the whole of society benefits greatly from each individuals inherent greed.

Manchester UK, a dirty decaying mill town in the north west of England inhabited by guncunians - famous for having a higher level of violent crime and shootings than Basra, Iraq!

going for the capillaries

Making an ineffectual attack against a relatively minor aspect of an argument or adversary, leaving the object of the attack unaffected.

An attack that is misplaced and off-target and does not address the fundamental issue.

The tactical opposite of "going for the jugular."
In argument, correcting your opponent's grammar instead of attacking her argument is an example of "going for the capillaries."

Storming of the US Capitol

Let me make this as unbiased as possible.

On January 6th 2021, an armed mob of far right individuals broke into the United States Capitol Building with the intent of stopping the US Congress from certifying the 2020 presidential election. Many were injured, and a few were killed.

The riot ultimately failed, and the election was certified, with all objections to the certifications of certain states failing.

Woke Capitalism

An arrogant, pretentious and self-righteous approach to critical social issues that immediately vaporizes when doing so conflicts with your financial interests.
"Yes, we all do have freedom of speech, but at times there are negative financial ramifications that can happen when you're not thinking about other people’s wallets and you're only thinking about yourself."

“Yah, that dude wasn't edumacated on the situation at hand and it cost me some serious bank.”
“He apparently didn’t get the memo on woke capitalism.”
