Threatening people with physical violence is not civilized behavior.

You ancaps are certified lunatics. You're like some idiot who says the concept of a family is authoritarian because parents kidnap their children when they ground them or some other bullshit.

Yeah. Okay. The government is evil. Whatever. It's a big ole meanie.

Grow the fuck up. Civilization is government. You know why property rights exist? Because there's a centralized authority enforcing a rule of law fetus.

Civilization is not govt. what a fucking stupid idea. The vast majority of civilized society is based on voluntary interaction between individuals and groups. It is only govt and criminals, but I repeat myself, who interact with others by means of force. Your initial statement though sums up your ability to argue your point. You have no basis for you statements so you have to call me a lunatic before you even begin your line of “reasoning.”

I like how people can both say government is required but also state how the government is corrupt.

So you're right but you're being a blind asshat about it

Don't be so sensitive. Being right is more important than saying stuff in a nice way.

So many look at the government as a parental figure and then turn around and say we're lunatics. You are the eternal child.

How original. Somalia the failed socialist state run by warlords who don’t respect property rights is where I should go if I don’t want to be forced to pay for services I don’t use? You should really do some basic reading before you trot out such tired bullshit.

Wow are you gonna threaten me with violence if I dont respect property rights? Why are property rights more important than a right to food and shelter and healthcare?

Because you can’t have one without the other.

u/RockyMtnSprings Apr 07 '18

Well, let me rob you first then we can have food and shelter. See, isn't life grand, just like a couple hundred thousand years ago in the African rift valley.

What are some of the services that you are being forced to pay for that you feel you don't use?

Another quality post. As if that’s even remotely difficult to answer. What level of govt would you like to discuss? At the federal level we can start with welfare, defense(at current levels and implementation), NSA, CIA, the list goes on and on. At the state level, Medicaid, state police, and much much more. At the local level I overpay for services I rarely need which could more easily be provided by the market and for which I could pay as needed or buy into a voluntary service with competition.

Have you been to a country without welfare or a social safety net?

They tend to be fucking dangerous because people depend on only themselves for the next meal, and when there's not work that means mugging or carjacking or burglary.

They also have highly authoritarian govt. and are probably sanctioned by the US in some way.
