it's actually like saying, to someone you date, if you dont like that i make you hand me 4 months of your paycheck & spy on you (like the new NSA wire tap & surveillance programs) you can go live on the street, because all the other women's boyfriend beat the hell out of them, & atleast i only spy on you, & force you to give me some of your paychecks. after all i LET you work, & i LET you have SOME freedom. Govt is a horribly sick abusive relationship whose injected itself intensely in our lives

Somalia....he brought up Somalia...

A brutal dictator rapes and pillages a country for eons, then it collapses and because statelessness didn't magically undo that in a mere 20 years, that's proof that the dictator was right and statelessness was wrong... Sheer brilliance...

Somalia is the godwin of pro state arguments, a straight up admission that you're nothing but a dogmatist.

Stefan makes so much god damn sense, it's spectacular.

[adamkajones]

"Government is like anything...like marriage."

Oh. Ok.

*puts gun to own head*

[adamkajones]

I like how he switched from "government is good but a little too big" to "government is morally wrong but it's here to stay."

Ok, so you've identified the problem, now you come up with ideas to solve it.

[adamkajones]

This guy had a lot of incriminating Freudian slips. Like...a lot.

[AnCap217]

Social contract as an argument. Come on!

[AnCap217]

Always "ends justify means". This argument is so tiresome.

[Fatty McCubs]

Take an army into West Virginia... never going to happen...

okay, soooo the Civil war was what?

[Fatty McCubs]

It is funny watching Molyneux when that other guy is blathering.

Stefan, your contributions to liberty... well, I will leave that to history.

[Fatty McCubs]

Go figure. Well put, and I am using it in my own liberty proselytizing.

[tubebility]

No, he is educated. That's what "educated" means these days.
