Get the True_contrarian mug.There it is! I've been waiting for that one. That took a minute. You know how many times I've thought about doing a definition here?
Hym "I'm going to assume you're talking about me but I'll address the difference between anarchism and the woke left. The woke left feints the desire for the dissolution of government. When in reality everything they do is a power grab. I on the other hand, only call of the dissolution of the federal money syphon. No more army pirate. He can go home. No more old lady stock market fraud. No more gomer authoritarian president. State government can still exist. No problem with a little order. That's the difference. Oh, and by the way, Thomas Sowell also says "Intellectuals serve no purpose other than to make things over complicated". I don't want to control anyone. I just want payment for services rendered and to be acknowledge for doing a thing that (according to your own metrics) is objectively good. Prerequisite text for a multitude of entertainment.

I also have some citations under my belt and you're one of the people who has cited me (name redacted). Do you want to control anyone? Is there anyone that is doing something that you don't want them to do? Are you doing, literally, ANYTHING to make them do something other that what they are currently doing? And how is your ethic any different from a form a social Lysenkoism? People are made stronger through competition and being arbitrarily subjected to hard elements. I mean, we live in the post-therapy generation and who's the most cited psychologist in all of Canada? What's the collective psychology looking like over there? That's the problem with having the most citations. If you're WRONG, then everyone who cited you is ALSO WRONG. Don't you predate the dysfunction of both of the countries you're involved with? No, you're right. You can't even consider the possibility that you're making things worse because you're better than your opposition and deserve the virtue that they want more than they do. That's ALL competence means to you. It's not arbitrary. I deserve this more than everyone but especially more than HYM. No, no I'm a contrarian."
