    Imagining yourselves as everyone’s parents… Literal unironic paternalism.

    Having a .ml as one’s actual parent sounds like a nightmare though. Absolutely a sure fire way to create an anarcho-capitalist or some shit in the natural backlash.

      Just because I recognize that you are the intellectual equivalent of a toddler doesn’t mean I accept the responsibility of raising you

        So you think you and those that agree with you should have power over people but have no responsibility to them?

        I legitimately don’t care if you think I’m stupid I know what you think is smart.

          I think that you specifically are too stupid for your own health and safety and that someone competent and trustworthy absolutely should have power over you until that changes, ideally multiple someones with a robust system of public oversight. I said I do not accept responsibility for you, just because I recognize the need for competent leadership doesn’t mean I’m willing or able to lead.
