I believe that I have made the mistake of assuming that everyone at WotB understood what classical liberalism is, and classical liberal thought entailed.
Philosophically.

It's worth looking into. I doubt you'll disagree with me after you do.

Edit: Classical liberal thought ~ Enlightenment philosophers.

Not a precise definition, but for those who won't look it does the job.

Classic conservatism was the other side of the coin; an equally principled philosophical view.

If you're not familiar with Classical liberalism, then I won't bore you with the nuance.

I already know it including the neoliberal economics and who practices what both domestically and in regards to foreign policy.

That's isn't the point.

The point is that regardless of where you feel on that, the issue is you're a target of the liberal as an illiberal.

In not sure I'd use that term.

Socalled liberals are attacking everything. Everything.

They can't tell you what a woman is, but they are certain that all opposing views are held by evil people. Or by those of malicious intent.

I can tell you that the WorB is now cloistered away from new ideas, and I guarantee you haven't heard what discussed here.

People are afraid to discuss some ideas in most places.

My personal quest is to show any American how they can remove their legal and political person from the jurisdiction of the administrative state (agencies, regulation, coffee, etc.). The most tangible benefit is your no longer on the hook for income taxes. You'll still pay other taxes.

Just not the tax on your labor, because free people aren't taxed on their labor. People who are subject to feudal law address taxed on their labor.

It's a solution as a legal fact, but I can't get anyone to listen. A failure of imagination, I suppose. Too good to be true.
But it's true.

I'd like to post a comprehensive explanation here in the near future.

That's my thing. I'm trying to free little who don't understand that they're enslaved in a legal matrix.
Exiting the matrix is easy if you know how.

And here, with u/Inuma and u/Tom_Bombadil, we have an example of respectful discussion and disagreement--what WotB seeks to promote.

Simple fact: This sub may not be a good fit for those who find the embrace of civil discourse a strain.

u/Inuma, u/Tom_Bombadil
It is not enough --
IF WoTB does not have pinned posts for solutions
The Problem does not get solved!!!

I respectfully disagree and find the responses of u/penelopepnortney and u/Netweasel to your linked post to be reasonable.

Do you not see and agree on the issues that I highlighted?

I see problems with imposing uniformity.

I see challenges with handling bigots in the absence of a downvote button, though that feature can be abused.

I don't see other problems as you do, but I support your right to post and discuss and agree and disagree civilly. The absence of civility and the presence of needless slurs and personal insult prompts the turtle tax--a light fine, not jail--whinged about so vociferously.

Yeah. I had requested a pinned or sticky for a post.

I'm literally pointing out that it's becoming that issue.

It doesn't matter if you're communist, socialist, anarchist, libertarian, or conservative...

All those groups are finding themselves against liberal institutions. That has been my point.

And no, we aren't grouped out. Stick around and watch how we talk domestic policies, foreign policy, and everything else.

Walk a mile in our shoes.

Usually our group is the one leading the pack.

And that's not a boast.

BTW, we hate woke nonsense too.

Most of us. There are some holdouts.
