It is impossible to list every example or variation of the rules. It is also impossible to word everything perfectly. Players are expected to understand the intent of the rules and not attempt to "toe the line" or use loopholes to get around the intent of the rule.

Every time i attempt to explain myself people seem to think that i am boasting that i am better then them or something.
I can only assume they are projecting something on me, i just wanted better for everyone unconditionally without personal benefit other then living in a less fucked up world. Isnt that normal-selfish enough while still clearly in their benefits also? Apparently thats very hard for some to grasp.
Have you looked into anarchist communities? What I typed here was like, just a basic summery of stuff that is completely uncontested there I thought would make for an easy spam post in other places to find other anarchists lol
I got a discord server linked in my bio if you would like to meet a group of people who all believe in this stuff, and I can help you find others if you want.
I am subscribed to a few anarchist places but most seem rather barren.
Lemmy had been the best fit i found online in general. But even here i find i am still often more radical the average.
It would definitely be interesting to know more People to debate these topics with. I am talking a look at that discord server.
Edit: cant find your bio, may you send me an Invite?
well, this will be a space you are likely to be far less radical than average in I can say that, and I checking out these sites for the first time and these forums have not impressed me. The more public anarchist spaces tend to not have much going on because so much energy goes towards dealing with trolls and such, so they can't build mutual aid and such internally
I cant find you bio. Could you pm me an invite? Thanks.
