Like the poor reputation I have from not being a statist? 🤣

Similar thing, just more widely encompassing. Perceiving threats of alienation from the community vs only alienation from the explicit laws of the community. Both are in fear of being treated less favorably by the community.

Similar perhaps, but certainly not the same. The state rises out of the economics of power and centralisation of resources, not of human psychology per se.

It's exactly the same, just reinforced by force instead of by mere cutting off from resources that can be found elsewhere. The differentiator is always aggression and the distribution of knowledge required to fight it. States would fall in an instant if normies chose to listen to Bitcoiners.

The entire economy runs on perception. Is the economy for legitimate defense any different? Genuine question.
