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

you’re committing the fallacy fallacy

wrong, but you just did.

let us spout the names of fallacies instead of talking, that is productive. that’s you.

another appeal to ridicule, but no evidence that money or government are inevitabilities.

i mean, i’m not the one here demanding a debate like i suck off statues of ben shapiro and charlie kirk every night but you do you

i explicitly said i don’t want a debate.

yet you keep demanding i provide logic and evidence. what is that but demanding a debate? do you really think everyone here is that stupid?

i am not demanding anything. i’m pointing out that you literally made up your claim, and rather than even try to support it, you play rhetorical games.

that’s how speech works. people make up what they say. do you shout that at everyone?

that’s how speech works. people make up what they say.

when making claims about the natural world, doing that is worse than just keeping your mouth shut.

shame you wouldn’t recognize when you’re talking to an expert, since they have information and experience that contradicts your keyboard warrior lifestyle. but go off.

an unsupported appeal to authority.

if you were an expert you wouldn’t have made the erroneous claim.
