- pclmulqdq 4y agoUmm... those are two completely different statements, not a Motte and Bailey fallacy. I am happy to defend my position that governments use force the same way mobs do, but they give you more of a say in how the force can be used and they give you some written protections (that they are happy to infringe when convenient). Also, I never said that we would be better off with a despot or a gang or anything of the sort, as the original reply tried to claim.
