Because it's only used by people in a tiny little political segment today - far-right-wing libertarians.
No one else denies this or doesn't believe it's true, I hasten to add. For most of us, we think that this is a good thing, but also such an obvious thing that it doesn't need to be mentioned.
The people who keep mentioning it are people who think it's a bad, bad thing. They want everyone to have access to violence at all times.
The sane majority does not.
- enaaem 4y agoIn the “jungle” you only own what you can protect. Even your life. Violence is natural. Non-violence, property rights and free trade is extremely unnatural, and requires a strong central authority to write the rules and impose them.
- LudwigNagasena 4y agoDo you think it’s bad to put a teenager in jail for an abortion they did after they had been raped? Or is it also a good (well, it is certainly lawful) use of state monopoly on violence?
- MrMan 4y agoif the teenager is woke, its good. and a non woke person would never be prosecuted by any sane government, so your logic game is flawed
- ThunderSizzle 4y ago> far-right-wing libertarians No. If your going to targrt political stratas, don't be narrow sighted. The BLM and Antifa riots of "Defund the police" is exactly about the same concern, and supporters caused widespread violence to prove that point. There's a different reason, but many prominent Democrats urged those protests on, making it more broad than just some leftists commies. The major difference is that BLM/antifa targeted local police with a national organization and got their way in many places, whereas conservatives are weary of the federal government are just some disorganized people that become easily targeted by the feds.
