  1. I have a friend who is pretty much a #Republican by default (i.e., he claims to be apolitical but only consistently avoids political topics when the Republican position is the status quo; he will comment on other issues). He might be trying out a new "open mindedness" thing, though, and he once even claimed to be "more or less an #Anarchist" at heart.

    I'm making a list of #questions to ask him about #anarchy. They were significantly more provocative until my partner (who is very good at this kind of thing) offered some rewordings:

    Anarchy questions

    • How do you feel about the unrestricted movement of people? (i.e., #OpenBorders)

    • What are your thoughts on loving relationships (romantic/sexual) with multiple partners (i.e., more than 2), where everyone consents, up to and including marriage? (i.e., #polyamory, #RelationshipAnarchy, etc.)

    • How would you feel about your children having an equal voice in their education, along with all other individuals that are a part of their school around decisions like hours of operation, topics taught, hiring, etc.? (i.e., #AlternativeSchools, #AlternativeEducation)

    • What are your thoughts about individual police accountability when officers break laws?

    • What is your cost/benefit analysis of the existence of #police?

    • What is your cost/benefit analysis of the existence and/or current implementation of #prisons?

    • What are your thoughts on people inhabiting abandoned houses they don't own? (i.e., #squatting)

    • What do you think about #RightToRoam (i.e., even private land should allow people to freely pass through, temporarily camp, etc.)?

    Notes:

    • I'm purposefully staying away from questions about capitalism, socialism, or other economic systems; I think his brain would just shut down.
    • Same with LGBTQIA+ issues; he's LDS (and devout), so that will run directly into current doctrine/practice/programming and end the discussion.
    • I'm just sharing this to share; I don't need feedback or suggestions but am open to them.
    • I do not believe I can call myself an anarchist. I resonate strongly with many anarchist principles but I don't walk the walk and there are some issues I'm not totally comfortable with.

    …& hats off to @TheConversation for responsiveness and making the change. A much better article now about the #Dartmoor #WildCamping campaign and the defective #RightToRoam & #OutdoorAccess laws in #England🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, #Wales🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 and #NorthernIreland
