 Bruh you like Pepsi over coke and don't like ramen and steak 

You're banned officially now 
 a ban for me seems totally understandable and fair

but this still wouldnt make steak+ramen anything other than unnatural abomination 
 False dichotomy

 Boring 
 Honestly there’s a greater difference between Come and Pepsi than there is between the parties at this point

 And there Is no state, and there is you.

Don't mix meta physical with the physical. 
 Opt out. Switch to #Bitcoin and Nostr 💜🧡

 Even the state is an illusion. There is only you.
