I also believe some kind of governance is inevitable. The government systems I grew up with had their flaws but were not as fucked up as some people believe them to be. Of course, I am biased by the values instilled by my parents, but who isn't?
I also mostly steer away from this kind of discussion. I mostly read them and try to understand the opposite point of view. But I'm not well-versed in the technicalities of self-governing individuals, libertarianism, etc, but also not in the specifics of social democracy, a system I mostly believe in, so it's rather pointless to have discussions on these systems in written short format form on SN. Also, I usually only like to engage with people who appreciate the nuances of it all, i.e. if one is an absolutist without room for alternative thought, there is not much point entering a discussion and ending up getting called an idiot just for believing slightly different things. I did a few times and realized it wasn't worth my time or theirs.
The few times I do, it's with people that I know aim to engage constructively. You'll soon figure out who is worthy of your time for discussions here. E.g. #849326

I agree that I've also seen some people who are open to thoughts and discussions here, and they are worthy of having a conversation. Thank you.

That's exactly what I think too. People here can be extremely against any form of rule, and if you happen to say something they don’t agree with, you can easily get called an idiot or worse. That’s why I really appreciate your territory it feels more open and comfortable, and I don’t feel like I have to hold back from replying to comments.
