Without rulers, not without rules ;)
- They're being a ruler is the joke
  
  That's why you don't follow grammar rules
  
  Yeah but we can't use it; it's why lots of anarchists like wh40k but none of us can play it.
  
  Nuh uh! They're participating in lively debate through which all parties can come to a ruling by consensus! They're just really good at it. Um, what's a ruler again anyways? 🤔
  
  Who enforces the rules if they exist? There is a difference between ruler and enforcer. The fact I have to point this out is sad.
- Then who enforces the rules
  
  Everyone.
  
  As opposed to disciplinary action carried out by a central authority, rule breakers just get slapped by every community member in a revolving door fashion.
  
  There will be like an invisible hand ...
How to be anarchist:

Step 1: follow the rules we all agree upon.

Step 2: don't play (cohabitate) with people who refuse to follow the agreed upon rules.

Step 3: enjoy peaceful game (life) with people who don't shit on their own activities just to win.
- Step 1: follow the rules we all agree upon.
  
  You'd be surprised at how difficult it is to find rules we can all agree on.
  
  You can usually find them in the box with the rest of the game.
  
  Yeah, I also disagree with his rule #1
- People often confuse anarchists (those who don't believe in having a political ruling class) with chaos.
Damn, this is so me
Something something Engels something something justified hierarchy
Is The Onion spying on me now!?!?!?
I read

Antichrist surprisingly strict about board game rules and was confused
Satire misused.
- Wdym
  
  Satire is primarily meant to deflate the power of those that don’t deserve it, and more generally in comedy, you punch up, not down.
