WP:UBCR says Wikipedia is not an appropriate place for: Propaganda, advocacy, or recruitment of any kind (commercial, political, religious, or otherwise) and Opinion pieces, particularly on current affairs or politics. This is inflammatory opinion on religion/politics. –

I used to think that too, but now I just think it’s unnecessarily “asking for trouble/fishing for controversy” because you can hold dumb views like this but not insert them into the encyclopedia.

I’ve noticed you’ve been going around adding empty or vague MFD votes. It helps your case if you provide a rationale.
