Me: and who stops the government from raping, killing, and stealing?

Statist: the people! They must hold the government accountable

Me: why can’t people just hold themselves accountable without any government?

I've never seen a statist argue against anarchy in good faith, ever

It’s so weird right? Even the most objective statist that tries to stick to facts will squirm when you argue against the state.

I don't think anarchism is utopian, either. I see it as the mean in a digital age, and it's important to be ready for it

I don’t know if any utopia can exist in this world. Man must either work to improve his conditions or must steal from others that do work. The best I can hope for is eliminating state violence.

it's how it always is, except where the weight of social momentum favors popular dupes

You have a great point about living away from large cities and being out of reach of the Clown Mob. I should try it

Anarchy is an unstable equilibrium. With a power vaccum, it's only a matter of time until someone takes power and obtains a monopoly on violence.

Why do you think our friends at the CIA don't just take Putin out?

Sadly, I think the statist doesn't pass the shopping cart test.

The statist probably thinks it’s not his job to return it

The statist sounds lazy and entitled 🤷🏾‍♂️

Statists don’t wanna get their hands dirty so they support others doing their dirty work
