That’s the point of government: the state has a monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force.

That’s from “Politics as a Vocation” by Max Weber. It’s also why the population needs to beat back if that violence isn’t legitimate (i.e. it’s abusing the population in the first place).

Or dissolve the government and realise offloading societal obligations to use violence to a hierarchical organisation is not the solution.

If there must be violence, let it come from the people for the people.

Government is like money. Get rid of it and people will create it again to fill the function they need it to fill, so let’s have it do what we need and help instead of harm

you’re making that up

your gif broke. but i foundi t, and it’s just an appeal to ridicule, not evidence for your claim.

i thought you were making a joke (one i liked, too) that i said people create things. no worries, it’s hard to communicate tone over text.

straight up mott and bailey. retreat from your specific, unjustified claim to one very broad and easy to defend.

sorry, but you’re committing the fallacy fallacy and i don’t debate people who do that bullshit

I don’t want debate. I want you to stop making things up and spreading them as fact.

ooo, i get this every time i call out medical practitioners for committing crimes. within hours. which one was it you personally committed?
