Today's common definition is not the original origin of the word was my point. The origin of the word anarchy had more to do with "leaderless" as in all people are equal, no appointed masters, no subservient slaves.
I'd agree the meaning of the word, "anarchy" has morphed to the way you used it, in part by government propagandists design, since people who oppose equality often embrace an imposed hierarchy.
I like that Trump is less likely to drag innocent people into a nuclear war than Hillary, but being an Anarchist (in the original sense of the word) I'd prefer freedom over a kinder master. I have issues with all Politicians.
I'm not endorsing looting, it's senseless and wrong...which is another reason I'm an Anarchist, but I prefer to use the term "Voluntaryist" to self describe, as it is less scary to those who aren't know it all wordologists like me.
Yeah, forget personal responsibility. Just blame whitey because its easier that way.

You wouldn't know personal responsibility if your mommy slapped you up side the head with it.

Screaming "personal responsibility" in a thread about the racism in home values is utterly ridiculous. "If I'd only been more responsible, my house would be worth so much more!"

It's the dying thrash of a party that has taken leave of its senses, decorum, logic... AND any shred of personal responsibility. To anyone, including its own constituents.

You got it.
To be fair, though, that 'party' pretty much shit the bed decades ago. Pale-faced vampiric pseudo-elitist filth, forever sucking the blood of the ignorant masses.

Shit the bed, yet never quite dead- still tottering about, still costing us trust, respect and credibility in the world.
Nevermind sucking the prosperity out of our country.

Like that one stubborn chunk/log that just circles the bowl, over and over, never quite vanishing down the drain....

They have basically 4 or 5 talking points that they're seemingly required to apply to all situations:
1. Personal responsibility
2. Black on black crime
3. I've never owned slaves
4. What about Chicago

Funny how there's always an excuse for the white cop who shot a black man in the back, though.
Why are they so dead set against holding public officials personally accountable?

I'll answer myself with my best theory; if we held public officials accountable for their actions, they'd stop doing what they 'believe' to be true based on their ideologies and start following the fucking law!

what part of keeping two sets of books to cheat on your taxes and prop up your failing business does personal responsibility fall under?

@bearkat42 thanks again for your perspective. If every white person in this country had someone like you in their circle of friends to keep them honest and hold them accountable for their stupid racist shit this country would be a far better place for everyone.

Screaming racism in a thread about home values is utterly ridiculous as well.
Money doesnt have a color. People decide where they want to live. More popular places to live have higher land values and typically higher property values. Every person who buys a piece of property makes a decision about what that property is worth to them. That number is recorded and used for comparison of other comparable properties in the area.
It is supply and demand.
