Without the state you would be a helpless shivering wreck living under the law of the jungle.
The state ensures law and order and an economy built on enforceable contracts.
If you don't like it go live somewhere there is no law and order and no state.
But You Don't because you are a bleeding bleating big talk no walk Libertarian Hypocrite.
Having a government doesn’t change the fundamental natural laws of our reality. The law of the jungle as you say? Government places itself and its agents as the “apex predator” of that jungle, it cannot erase the jungle or transport you out of it. Look at any war, the government didn’t protect the people from war- government starts and pursues war.
All you can do is hope and pray that the government will have mercy on you during your interactions with it. And apparently you willingly support it and grant it permission over your own life. You are a willing slave.
You can call me an “unwilling slave” and ask what’s the difference. But I believe it makes an important difference- and informs my plans and actions through life.
Government creates a structure of rules and enforcement.
This enables individuals to operate in a context of relative security from internal and external threats.
You can assert that government is an apex predator but this can only happen if the people are so weak and lazy that they allow it.
You wank on about self sovereignty but contribute nothing to the collective security that can only be achieved through government.
You are a lazy, selfish, irrational, naive and parasitic burden upon society.
Go live somewhere these is little or no government and live your dream- yeah right, you will never because you are whinging all talk no walk hypocrite.
'All you can do is hope and pray that the government will have mercy on you during your interactions with it. And apparently you willingly support it and grant it permission over your own life. You are a willing slave.'
Wrong. I have literally taken my government to court to challenge its assertions. I fight for my rights while acknowledging government is an essential mechanism for creating and upholding those rights while I have a reciprocal obligation and duty to ensure my government is as good as it can be within the context of human nature.
I do not opt out or disengage from reality as you do- I accept reality and engage to work toward the best outcome possible.
Everything the State has is stolen.
Everything the State says is a lie.
Get out of there brother.
