again, this is a wedge statement to create a false dichotomy to divest power in the arguor and their benefactor. it's as simple as that. we don't know what they are there to steal! they don't give constructive, actual or any kind of legal notice before stealing... that's why we call them thieves... they might be there to steal all your food! you might die of starvation. they might be there to steal your lifestaff, itself. we don't know. you are your stuff. your stuff is you. there is NO separation. even the so-called laws will try to protect the possession you call your body. human rights law will advocate for food, water, humane treatment... property laws will advocate for 40 acres and a mule and a ton of hay for your animals... but these are paltry gestures for so grandiloquent a claim as "The Law"... Before the advent of bitcoin, IoT and other emerging property rights technologies, there were practical limits to tracking property rights, thus the "title" systems were devised for major property categories deemed noteworthy of tracking and "protection". Social position (heraldic titles) was not one of these titles! We see the necessarily promulgated "registration" systems as necessary for upholding property rights in their most basic form of justice (what's yours is yours and what's mine is mine). Now we see that fiat has corrupted everything and registration is used for false "valuation", surveillence and oppression. in the case of food, we can hear the loud wail of the statist as they protest against your plans to effectuate self-defense. they will say, oh you can just buy more food! can you? perhaps you spent all of your remaining money on your current store of food. oh you can work harder we hear the state-lover say... but can you? will you have the ability? will you have another day to prepare your family for the rest of their lives? did that thief just threaten your family's life by stealing your savings (food). A statist loves to assume that their way will continue. they also love to model you into their statist projections for continuity. A statist loves to falsely "re-value" your life to fit their whims and subsidized life-style. Learn to resist this soft tyranny with verbal self-defense. They will steal your emotions first before stealing your life.
