Is Voat a fed nest?
Very possibly. Particularly in the system subs where brigading is possible. But this sub is an oasis from it. Their downvotes will have no effect on your CCP here.
We reserve the right to ban anyone we deem to be disruptive without notice.
If you are observed calling another poster Jewish on Voat you will be banned in this sub.

Immature and temporary state of... states.

On a deep personal level, I believe in absolute freedom. (When I was a kid I used to argue with my dad, who was not at all into this line of thinking and got pissed, about why we should stick to e.g. traffic rules without having explicitly agreed to do them.) But that sent me not to anarchism, but quite the opposite: as there are no innate, primary, 'god-given' incentives for people to act civilized and nice, we need to force each other in line ultimately by the threat of physical force and not just by appealing to their reasonability, punish small purpetrators and eliminate big ones.
Of course that was a long time ago and I have become more moderate, realizing the downside to authoritarianims etc., but I still favor a strong state with characteristics of a so-called police state, although I don't think it should be conducted by one all-potent leader. Democratic elections would be best, if participation would be limited to patriots. Internationalists, fifth-columnists and sectarians should be excluded.
I did have my own flirtations with anarchism, but in hindsight only to extent of sympathizing with its sub-goal of eliminating the present, imperfect system, and talking along with friends.
Maybe if I'd grown up and lived in the U.S. or a land with similar space, I'd be more into this 'freedom' thing, but as my land is rather crowded, I prefer to have everyone's freedom confined to their homes. I personally would favor more police on the streets and even the army policing certain urban areas.

It's seems lovely in a perfect dream world, but I have never face any arguments that would make me think it could exist in the real world.
As a personal lifestyle or philosophy of life, as you mention, could be interesting.

Voluntarism can probably work wonders in a monoethnic group.
So much so that it becomes impervious to war, as there would not be a tax base which you could take over.
Globalists are scared of the idea, which is why they smear anarchism.
