There are more kills from mafia than cops for sure. You just don't here about it. Nothing is absolute. Its about ones own relative and subjective experience. Your perception is that government is worse than mafia. Whereas my perception is that mafia are worse. I think most would agree with me too. Mafia exist only to exploit material and power gains, whereas most police have positive agenda to help people and attend to peoples needs actively. This is obvious. So please don't be so quick just to say someones opinion is wrong when really I was more correct than yourself. With your attitude and perceptions I would say you are part of the mafia. There is no other reason why you would say what you do.

@onesunbeingnow have you lost your mind. First, you are acting as if the cartels are a mafia. They are not a mafia. They are a government. Also, in this post I was comparing the entire U.S. government to the Mexican cartels. I was not comparing only the American police to the Mexican cartels. However, the American police have killed more Americans than were killed during the entire Iraq war. That's significant. The U.S. government has murdered millions more than the cartel so you are wrong. Most people would not agree with you because the evidence shows I'm right. Only bias persons such as government employees and those who believe cable news is real would agree. "Police having a positive agenda" to help people is the most ridiculous comment I have heard all year. As a former drug cop, one of the best in the nation, I can tell you that cops don't give a shit about the public. All they care about is making arrests and making money for their departments. Finally, accusing me of being in the mafia is ad hominem and so far from the truth, I'm embarrassed for you. I have been investigated and reported by every major news source in the world. I am continually monitored by the police for my activism. If I were in the mafia, I would have already been in prison. I absolutely certain you are bias because you are a cop or you are married to one. Go fuck yourself for that accusation and stay off my blog. Weirdo.
Listen. Cartels have killed more and have no positive impact on society. Fact. Sure police do a lot of bad things, but at least they do help people more than any cartel ever would. This is simple and true. Sorry if you cant see that.
I don’t like to get personal. Because then it just gets negative and you get lost in your own mind. I like to have fun and be free. But to be frank I don’t care who you think you are or your story, I have the same view toward myself. We are all entitled to our opinion, and I happen to think my perception it’s a very reasonable and obviously true one.
Also it would be nice if you weren’t so aggressive and abusive too. As my mafia statement was a joke anyway. Acting like that really discredits you entirely. You shouldn’t take things so seriously. If you are serious you may as well be dead already.
btw @onesunbeingnow, with your attitude and perceptions I would say you are part of the government.... and there is nothing more immoral than that.
Government stands for govern your mental capacity. So yes I am the government because I choose how my mental capacity is governed. I don't let it be governed by some imaginary idea of a 'outside government'. My life is perfect. I have no use for a fearful and negative idea about some spooky controlling government groups who somehow affect my life. That is insane. I would rather take full responsibility for my world by knowing that I create my world around me. As the correct answer when I ask the question "where is the world right now?" is: inside my imagination. As each person wakes up to the idea of self-governance the ideas of government and anarchism will become forgotten.
Mafia only exists BECAUSE of government. Without government, there would be no need for mafia who profit from getting "illegal" plants to paying, voluntary customers. So, your preference of govt over mafia only just makes mafia exist. If you and others had no desire for government, or stopped bowing to them (there is no difference between mafia and govt except size) then we'd have neither govt nor mafia and we'd have a world of peace and prosperity like we've never known it.
hahaha you really believe that huh...very funny indeed...we would still have organised gangs who exploit others without something we today know as government. There will always be some story about such things. Anarchist are funny. Naive and funny.
Correction: The mafia as they exist today only exist because of the improper, illegitimate government we have today.
As Frederick Bastiat wrote in "The Law" there would still be a "government," but it would be infinitesimal compared to its current size, and it would solely concern itself with sociopaths who were guilty (or seemingly guilty, prior to the proper jury trial) of force and/or fraud (coercion: the initiated realistic threat of force or initiated, non-retaliatory force itself).
Voluntaryists don't oppose government. They just want smarter government; ie: self-governance in the voluntary sphere. Does every government today fall so far short of this standard as to make abolition of all governance a viable interim goal? Sure. A good case could be made for that. Historically, this places me alongside Emma Goldman, Thoreau, and Lysander Spooner.
BTW: Spooner was not an anarchist. He was an abolitionist, a libertarian, and a minarchist. The same is true of Bastiat and Thoreau.
Government is an immune system, only. When it is disordered, the republic dies, the same way a human dies when infected with AIDS or any other auto-immune disorder. The current government we have is like AIDS or cancer. But that doesn't mean that immune systems are bad. They're only bad when they have nothing in common with, or "are the opposite of," the best version of themselves.
Note: I'm a voluntaryist libertarian who is agnostic in the pointless (unresolvable) debate over re-labeling the pattern-found-in-nature that is sometimes called "anarchy" and sometimes called "minarchy,"depending on one's Historical and Scientific education level. So I can interface with people who inconsistently defend the American idea as considered by the Founders, I often call myself a "minarchist," much as Eliezer Yudkowsky does (although perhaps I'm more radical than he is).
Because the chain doesn't go any deeper, this reply is to the onesunbeingnow post directly below your post.
onesunbeingnow is right that sociopathy would still exist, as would organized sociopathic criminal entities. However, they would only be a small fraction as powerful under a proper, western government. This is because they currently have ("income derived from risk avoidance in supplying vices" + "income derived from direct theft/extortion") whereas under a just government, they would only have "income derived from direct theft/extortion." Even a simpleton can see that "income derived from risk avoidance in supplying vices" is vastly, vastly, vastly greater than "income derived from direct theft/extortion."
This is why we need a "downvote" button. Of course, here's a clarification of your comment: The police in the USA are criminals. After all, they meet the formal definition: they initiate force to steal property of people who have not, and never will be, found guilty by a proper jury of a valid, 2-part "corpus delicti." With no valid, 2-part "corpus" (same referent as in the term "habeas corpus"), the accused, even if found guilty, has not been convicted by a proper, random, common-law jury.
So, those who defend the police actually are defending the "economic incentivization" wing of the mafia. They are simply a part of the mafia that relies heavily on brainwashing uneducated and unphilosophical dupes who graduated from the government youth propaganda camps known as "public schools."
Sounds like I might be describing you, although I suspect Berwick is correct, and that you are a government employee or personally invested in your relations to a government employee.
Didn't read any of that. Judging by the length of the posts it looks like you care too much and are a slave. I was just commenting and having fun. But looks like people get too serious and negative. I'm free, I don't care about anything :)

...Just like most barnyard animals. Although this does make me curious to find the "block" button here.
Good thing you stated that you don't take your comments (or anything else) seriously. Have fun in your idea-less world, you mindless meat-bot. :)
