This debate in the lead up to the republican primary for Colorado's fourth district was so refreshing to watch, there was some actual journalistic integrity like you described. Moderators need to have a true contempt for sophistry. https://www.youtube.com/live/kD2rET3e5Ts

Masquenox definitely agrees with you about that. I think what they're saying is that the kind of people with both of these stickers on the back of their trucks do have an internally consistent ideology that amounts to 'rules for thee, but not for me' where the 'thee' is most often minorities.

I think it could make sense not to scan for memberships and allow nonmembers to buy the food even through it's a loss leader. If people are coming in for the good deal, especially if they're coming regularly, there's a chance they'll buy a membership and start shopping there

The one on the right, definitely, but I think the one on the left is the coward's child / victim Edit: looking again, I think they're both children

Supporters of forming democratic governments through voluntary free association aren’t anarchists

But

Supporters of enslaving millions in gulags, assassinating all political opposition, crushing democratic uprisings through military force, and imperialist expansion through invasion and annexation are leftists

Did I get that right?

Anarchists are radically egalitarian and libertarian and support the formation of democratic governments through voluntary free association rather than a centralized and hierarchical state

Authoritarianism is inherently antithetical to the fundamental leftist goals of liberty and egalitarianism because it empowers an unaccountable ruling class instead of a democratic government
