I believe everyone deserves free healthcare, I believe everyone deserves housing, I believe we have a duty to provide high quality education for everyone in our society, I believe Climate Change is an existential threat to humanity.
BuT WhO Is gOiNg tO PaY FoR It?!
That’s the perpetual conservative rejoinder and the thing that makes “everyone deserves” ring the Far-Left Anti-America Killed-100 Billion People alarm bells. As soon as you talk about reorganizing the legal private ownership of property to optimize quality of life for the public, the people with the majority of property (and those who control the manufacturers of credit and the administrators in charge of distributing large labor contracts) show their reactionary tendencies.
I believe fundamentally that all authority that we have not explicitly consented to is illegitimate
I mean, that’s fine as a belief. The more pressing concern is your action. As soon as you explicitly resist the orders of the regional authority, you’re faced with the organized violence of the professional police. And then what?
You are, of course, more than welcome to shout your feelings into the void of the Empty Internet or argue with digital agents designed to give you textbook rebuttals or encourage non-confrontational expressions of dissent. But you are strictly prohibited from directly challenging any actual administrative power, because that’s Against The Rules. And violating the rules is Violence. And any act of violence you perpetrate justifies an escalated tier of violence against you, until you relent.
