I did state I did not intend to start a political party or movement in the first sentence.

This is exactly what annoys me. Own your shit. How can anyone take you seriously if you won't stand behind your own ideas? By claming you're not actually proposing what you're obviously proposing you just make it impossible to engage with you because anyone who points out how bad the idea is will just be met with "it's just a joke" instead of serious reflection on your part. You can make an argument without having to back it up or admit it was flawed when people poke holes in it. Which makes conversation impossible.

You betray yourself when you praise centrists as "well reasoned". That's no thought experiment, it's you actually believing liberals and anarchists are on the same side.

Edit: and btw "well reasoned" just means "I agree with their opinions".

What you value as "reason" is nothing more than the privilege to pretend you're above emotion because you say hurtful things to marginalized people to force an emotional reaction while you SOMEHOW maintain your composure.

Ziq is the worst kind of ill-read lifestylist so don't expect him match wits with you. You're completely right that anarchists and liberals are on the same side.
