  This might also express that someone doesn't consider themselves to be "pillarized". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillarisation

  I think they aren't quite the same: "buy 1 get 1 free" means that you only get a discount if you remove at least 2 units of inventory from the store. If I wanted to encourage people to clear out shelves in order to make space for new inventory (like an entirely new product or the same product but with more distant expiration dates), I might be inclined to use "buy 1 get 1 free" (or something like "buy 3 get 1 free") rather than just reducing the base price: if someone only gets the discount if they help me clear the shelves it might make our incentives more aligned.
  A "buy 1 get 1 free" deal might also make it easier to reinterpret statistics: being able to say "we sold 100 units at a price of $2 for each unit (but there was a buy 1 get 1 free deal)" might be more useful than being able to say "we sold 100 units at a price of $1 for each unit". Also, information about who took advantage of the deal and who didn't might be interesting (based on what was bought at the same time or tracked with a "loyalty program"), but a constant discount doesn't make that information available since it applies to everyone equally.

  Regardless, there is a contrast between how I have interpreted the article and how I feel about the page as a whole.

  The Supreme Court of the United States has recognized several categories of speech that are given lesser or no protection by the First Amendment and has recognized that governments may enact reasonable time, place, or manner restrictions on speech.

  I expect that they mean to express that they were not engaged with any political system in the past and don't expect to engage with any party that already exists. It might also express that they will disengage from politics when they determine that they can stop addressing this particular issue (whether that is because the issue was solved or not).
  Perhaps it helps to be "not tainted by government or mainstream parties' scandals" (or vice versa).

  Consider your audience.
  "You are part of the problem" (meaning "I am the enemy of the person reading these words") is probably not what you wanted to communicate. "Collective Shout is part of the problem" (meaning "The person reading these words should help to neutralize Collective Shout") probably is.
  Addressing someone that you don't want to engage in "diplomacy" with is probably a bad idea. You might want to use words such that you address people who you want to cooperate with.
