1016 Shadow Revolt

Not bad...

But if you are pitching "no elites"....

Maybe dial down the "Wysest man alive" (which sounds elitist) and ditch or change the entrance and exit trumpet sound (which sound monarchical and elitist)...

[Martin Hash]

I know you were being humorous but I’ll answer it seriously:

When I use the word “Elites,” I mean authoritarians who want to force their values onto me. As the Wysest Myn in the Wyrld, I only offer my insightful observations & advice; it someone doesn’t wish to follow it, that’s on them.

Anecdotally, my family lives inside my “calm sphere,” within which we can rest against the chaos of the outside world. I don’t force anyone to stay but if they leave, whatever befalls them is not my problem.

Ok... I buy it.

You have created a relatively "calm sphere" here on the MHF, without authoritarianism, other than occasionally ousting Monte... although I was never around for that,. so I can't comment.... and even he seems to have made his way back after whatever penance for his (alleged) crimes.

But what's with the "y"s instead of vowels?

[Martin Hash]

A wink that I’m self-aware of the presumptuousness of the claim.

"Liberty sanctions no elites"?

If it's making success-limiting sanctions, it might not be liberty.

Your liberty ends where my liberty begins.

Your liberty ends where my liberty begins.

If your liberty trumps my liberty, then you're the elite that your liberty was not supposed to sanction.

Fascism conflicts with liberty.

Calling everything fascism to silence debate and justify initiating violence is a Marxist strategy.
