It's throwback night, everyone get out your old uniforms - Page 4 - Politics and Economics

You assume the government has an automatic right to boss people around in America because.....?

You were taught that in history class?

The Constitution says so?

Government says so?

A vast majority agrees with you?

All very solid, logically sound reasons.

So given they could just flatten cities, would you say the squatters in Oregon are suicidal martyrs, or horrifically uninformed boobs?

Government is made of people. I am a people. Therefore, I am government. It's a perfect circle.

It's just like if someone is arrested and sentenced to life in prison for drug possession. If they were simply left alone, (not harming anyone, totally non violent) then no further action would be necessary. It's really not hard to understand. Leave people alone and they won't feel the need to retaliate

No, people sentenced for drug possession are actually sympathetic. but no one is taking over government property to fight for them.

Instead they are fighting for the freedom of some guys convicted of burning other people's property.

And I must have missed where the government bought the property. Or is stealing/claiming ownership or eminent domain the same as buying from a consenting seller?

Lol, the same laws that define trespassing also have a part that says you can go on private land to arrest someone with either a) probable cause or b) an arrest warrant. I think that's spelled out in some document somewhere.

BTW, I'd really like to know how you think western lands in the USA were acquired. Because if you think any of these folks have legitimate right to it I have some Native Americans who'd like to teach you some history.

People who understand anarchy the least, are the most sure it "wouldn't work."

I'm shocked.

We tried ACism once on this forum. It ended up with molested and armed children. Pretty accurate AFAIK

Exactly. Just a few bad apples.

one would think that ending up with such a suboptimal result would discourage further attempts.

unless one considers that to be the optimal result, in which case, true believers will never give up. fortunately, that group makes up a miniscule portion of the population.
