Well that’s the value proposition of government, right? A monopoly on violence in exchange for a set of rules leading to a stable society.
- int_19h 4y agoA set of rules that also applies equally to the government itself is one thing. But "do as I say, not as I do" is not that.
- mulmen 4y agoThat’s the “monopoly on violence“. The government isn’t equal. They hold the monopoly on violence, until they get so far out of line that the people take it back. The only open question is how to prevent that from happening.
