I’m willing to give up mandatory theft and threat of violence for voluntary agreements and human cooperation.

That doesn’t sound like you are willing to give up much.
I posted a while back about how freedom isn’t free. However, the problem is that most people wrongfully think they are free and that government “authority” is legitimate.
Yes, it’s all trade offs. Liberty for Security. It’s a barter system.
You can’t trade liberty for security. There is no security without liberty. And you can’t gain liberty alone in this world. Which is why we try to wake people up to the lies. It doesn’t help when you just say if you don’t like it then leave. Why defend the slave masters? There are more of us than there are of them.
Then fight, those are the choices. Fight or flight.
