I think what a person considers natural says a lot about them. Peaceful & productive behavior is what I consider natural to healthy humans. People who cannot distinguish productive behavior from parasitic behavior are fucked up people.
Your efforts to now deflect from the real issue are weak.
There something to be said about making the same assumption that all unions are “not peaceful” here.

All unions rely on the same underlying threat whether the threat is exercised or not. The term "scab" was not created by peaceful people to refer to people they respect & want to leave free to make their own choices.
If the govt gets all taxes paid without having to arrest anyone, that does not change the violent & coercive nature of taxation. The same goes for unions.
I agree. Both collectivism and individualism have threats of alienation.
I don't think reducing every single human interaction to a strictly accounted economic transacation is very natural, no.
That's like saying it's unnatural for every interaction to take place over a computer, when no one is saying every interaction should take place via a computer. Money is a technology for scaling interactions between people who don't know each other, and prices efficiently communicate changing economic conditions.
No one is saying you shouldn't lend your neighbor a tool or a cooking ingredient if you want to do that. But people who want all economic transactions to be part of a "gift economy" where money doesn't exist, or some other such nonsense, are generally either idiots or parasites, often both.
I wish telecommunications were never invented. I wish all the people of the world lived lives that were 100% local. I wouldn't care what system a community uses to organize itself. An individual could just leave and join somewhere that aligns with his values if he doesn't agree.
Libertarians & rational types would almost never find anyone who aligns with their values in such a world. Most people would just conform to the norms of their tribe & would have no idea anything else existed.
You can still go live a primitive life now, & it would be much easier than at any other time in history. Why don't you?
