Fair enough, but I think what they get from me isn't actually what they want. EDIT: To clarify, I cared about what they wanted right up to this point.

- littletimmy 11y agoIf "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness" is not guaranteed for these rioters by the state, then there is no social contract. In the absence of a social contract, the rioters are justified in raping, pillaging, and murdering to their heart's content. How do you not see that the rioters are justified?
- Karunamon 11y ago"Raping, pillaging, and murdering" is never "justified", period, end of story.
- littletimmy 11y agoIf and only if there exists a social contract. Without it, man exists in state of perpetual war where anything goes.
- Karunamon 11y agoThey very idea of a "social contract" is a model that implies a state with authority over its citizens. Somehow, I don't think people automatically regress to "perpetual war" without the existence of a state. And using words like "justified" to describe regressive, destructive behavior is utter nonsense.
- Kalium 11y agoI fail to see how rewarding raping, pillaging, and murdering will rationally lead to less of these things.
