I just don't understand any kind of absolute egalitarianism philosophy. Whether it's branded as anarcho-capitalism or straight anarchism or sockfucking libertarianism, it always misses the same point.

I do not agree, therefore I shall not share. 

That doesn't just apply to Facebook.  I'm not sharing anything with anyone on any medium until such time as I find something with which I can agree. Get your own bag.  There is no room in my beautiful car for you, take the bus.

I do not agree, therefore I shall not participate.

Though I might come by and accidentally all over your Tea Party or your Target bathroom protest.  Preach at me while I'm buying underwear, will you?  Come here you fucked up primate you, I know a better place for that bible.

I do not agree, therefore I shall actively oppose you.

No, I don't want to help defund the Arizona education system for Jesus via proposition 123.  If you think you can take back this clipboard full of signatures, you just try it, buddy.  There's got to be 600 names on this petition.  You should go for it.

I do not agree, therefore I shall DESTROY YOU.

I ran over your tiny house.  Sorry.  I got my carbon footprint all over your vaccine-free lifestyle.  What can I say?  I'm a bad person.

Fact is, I don't agree with much.  I am a contrarian by nature, really, and if you want me to agree, convince me.  Tell me why it is in my best physical or moral interests to jump on board that train of yours.  Explain to me why I should wear that uniform.  Tell me in no uncertain terms why I should help make sure Those People don't take over the day to day operations of this glorious nation of ours.  Point out to me why I should make America great again.

Because, you know, I'm not inclined to help, really.  I'm more about lighting the entire thing on fire and kicking it down the stairs.  I come not to "jake" Caesar, but to bury him.  And I think you know what the back-fill has to be.  And I've been into the curry again.

I am a wrecker and a walking glitch and a bit of a cunt, by anyone's standards.  Not because you earned it (you did), not because you deserve it (you do), but because I do not agree.

Or Kill Me.

FWIW when I read that I heard the voice of the TGRR I heard back in the day when I first fell in love with your writing.

Excellent. Mittens, big words etc. Etc.

My only suggestion would be a line on 'provide proof' as part of the convince me section. I suspect many have tried yet few will have bothered to try with evidence.

I have always said that when the data contradicts your beliefs, you need to at least take a glance at your beliefs.  I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't do it myself.

And yeah, I'm not above petty vandalism in the process.

Well, I was hoping that was implied, but then again it isn't always necessary.  Show me that I will be amused.  That is sometimes all it takes.

All I have are mittens and a metric ton of mucus for the backfill.

I, on the other hand, have been eating nothing but clam chowder and chicken pad thai for the last 4 days.

Who pissed you off this time?

I, on the other hand, have spent the last 14 hours expelling all of my gut flora from every orifice, and am now more than aware of the color of bile I produce (bright yellow, in case you were wondering).

I hate when that happens, once you start puking bile you know it's going to hurt for a while even after you are done being sick.

I am unsure that provocation is required.  Ergo et ego odi, motherfuckers.

Had that a couple of weeks ago.  I feel for ya.

It occurs to me that the phrase "eating clam chowder in Tucson" may very well be a violation of several EPA statutes.


Please alert your local authorities.

The clams are a bit manky by the time they get here.
