PFOAs are a case of every bad thing people say will happen without a government is already happening with a government.

When a company like DuPont can use the government as an extension squashing competition and covering up wrongdoing it isn't exactly capitalism. I also hope as an agorist that taking away the government as a tool would reduce or limit issues like PFOAs.

I can't say this makes sense to me. Regulators are fake, we knows this. Lobbyist dollars fuel nearly every regulatory body. So removing even the notion of regulation is what you think will prevent corporations from doing horrible shit? So you think legalizing murder will prevent murders? Or legalizing weed will stop people from smoking weed? Boy, I got news for you on that last one, lmao.

I don't expect a utopia, but I do think that taking away the government to look to as a parental trust figure will cause more individuals to rise to the occasion.

If people can't assume moral because legal they must do moral reasoning on their own in a distributed fashion.

Murders already illegal and still happens. Weed isn't immoral so most harm comes from government regulation. Issues like PFOAs are uniquely suited to legality preventing public whistleblowers from stepping up.

"Who enforced the law and judged cases before state bureaucrats took it over in the 1800s?" is a question I like to ask.

The Common Law is much older than nation-state bureaucracy.
