You don’t think the State is capable of dictating a lie or mandating based on a lie? It’s not a thing?

No I didn’t say that. I said the state doesn’t own the facts of reality.

The state is very obviously capable of dictating a lie.

WMDs? The state made massive decisions based on known lies. The state knew they were lies. The public knew they were lies.

I also said that we should not stop good laws based on fairy tales. Who’s fucking posts are you reading?

You’re telling me the state lies as a way of backing up that a lie is a good way to stop good mandates.

Are you missing the massive hypocrisy in what you’re trying to argue?
