    politics is violent, inherently. taxation is violent, inherently. policing is violent, inherently. control of another is violent, inherently.

    the state is, by definition, a monopoly on violence. dont pretend you are above inflicting pain on others.

      You just said it yourself. In a civilized order it’s the state that monopolizes violence. You don’t get to invent the laws and prosecute them yourself. Personally I don’t want to live in a society of vigilantism or civil war. Bluster aside, I suspect that you don’t either.
