      “Thereupon my visitor, very calmly and coolly, said to me: “Why are you so deeply opposed to the disappearance of the human race?” I am sure that as little as a century ago no one would have so lightly made a statement of this kind. It is the statement of a man who has striven in vain to attain an equilibrium within himself and has more or less lost hope of succeeding. It is the expression of a painful solitude and isolation from which so many people are suffering in these days. What is the cause? Is there a way out?”

          No, but i’m wondering why you seem to think that the government has the entire monopoly on violence, and face no consequences for comitting violence. Because that’s not the truth, we have the monopoly on violence, but for some reason we agree to these unfair playground rules where we let the bullies win every time instead of punching them in the nose.

          I’ll be less vague and more specific - Why do YOU agree to these playground rules, where the government gets to commit violence with zero consequence?
