#Rules for the subreddit.

Nothing low quality or low effort. For example: "Ancap is stupid" or "Milei is a badass" memes or low-effort posts are going to be removed first with a warning and then treated to a ban for repeat offenders.
Absolutely no comments or discussion that include pedophilia, racism, sexism, transphobia, "woke," antivaxxerism, etc.
If you're not here to discuss, you're out. Don't post "this is all just dumb" comments. This sentence is your only warning. Offenders will be banned.
Discussion about other subreddits is discouraged but not prohibited.

Ultimately, we cannot reasonably be expected to list ALL bad behavior. We believe in Free Association and reserve the right to moderate the community as we see fit given the context and specific situations that may arise.

If you believe you have been banned in error, please reply to your ban message with your appeal. Obviously, abuse in ban messages will be reported to Reddit.

If you're enjoying your time here, please check out our sister subreddit r/Shitstatistssay! We share a moderator team and focus on quality of submissions over unmoderated slop.
