They remind me more of 1800s Utopian Socialists, but from a hard right private property edge. They are serious wack-a-doodles. Hey if they can call us Satan we can have our point of view as well, no?

They want to be left alone in their own distorted minds but have no idea where the political power to be left alone derives from.

We should shun them. They are beyond reclamation. You can't reach something that's not there, that doesn't even respect your right to be different. How did they even get this close to them?
