Government only exists because of it's seized monopoly on the use of violence and it's propaganda that convinces people of it's legitimacy. Take away the violence and it's no longer government. Put simply, YOU do not have the right to initiate violence therefore YOU do not have the right to delegate it either. You cannot give what you don't have. Not to your neighbor, not to a cop and certainly not to a President.
Government authority in America is a myth and an illusion perpetrated by a small group of criminals 200 plus years ago, who conspired, by calling themselves government, to violently rule over all others. By all I mean the whole world. 600 US military bases in over 100 countries proves this fact not to mention the hundreds of millions of dead humans because of this violent superstition.
The belief that without government the sky would somehow fall, people would eat each other and not one entrepreneur would rise to the challenge of building roads is not only completly without merit but can be best described as mass induced Stockholm Syndrome. The inability to imagine life without your oppressor. It's a cognitive sickness that we see emanating from TV screens across this plane.
If you believe in self ownership, peace and consensual engagement of humanity then it's time you become honest with yourself and consistent in your morality by giving up the belief in an archaic system based on violence and theft.
Giving up the belief in government is no different then giving up the belief in Santa Claus. You'll get over it too, I promise.....
Solving this problem is remarkable simple. It doesn't require a violent overthrow or a campaign of any kind. You got over the myth of Santa Claus by not giving it anymore attention because you stopped believing in it. The same is true for the psychological disease of government. The solution rests between your ears. Stop partaking in the ritual known as voting and stop supporting the mercenaries who carry out the violence on behalf of their criminal bosses. Abolish your local police departments. It's that simple....
Stop lying to yourself. If you do not believe in violence then you do not believe in government. Stop aiding and abetting in violence.
And for the love of God turn off the damn TV! It's the ONLY reason you fell for the scam in the first place.
Government is legit exactly because the masses give it legitimacy. (Replying to your title)
"YOU do not have the right to initiate violence" Of course you do, this is a sovereign right of every individual and government. The right to declare war. The law of the jungle. "Preemptive strikes" sound familiar?
USA is not playing by the book and uses false flags and media brainwashing to justify its aggression but the fittest survive, right? Its Darwinian brainwashing combined with a zero-sum game mentality that has motivated the USA to make a move for the resources and strategic locations of the world (combined with its ridiculously enormous debt). It wants to create a one world system of government, a global hegemony with USA on top. USA has declared war but not on one country in particular, but with the whole world. You're either for or against America - that's the reason for regime change in so many countries. What happens when American citizens turn against America?
You have exquisitely proven my point! Your Stockholm Syndrome and psychological brainwashing is on display for all to see. Amazing how people can't see the magician uses strings even when an audience member stands up and points it out. THANK YOU! People need to understand this psychological disease.
