This is where I always have to write off anarchists, that belief is a central premise of their philosophy, despite the fact that in all of human history the opposite has occurred.

they did it in the past as well, that's why they built the coliseum and other stadiums. Bread and circus, that's what the people want. It will be the same in the future, rewards for those who follow the laws and punishments for those who do not.

Irrelevant for me, especially since I don't own a television or use any commercial websites.
Then they can't figure out how you tick, they only have the information that people willingly give them. This is a commercial website.
I haven't purchased anything here, and there are no ads here.
