"Citizens Peace Treaty". Those words sound so nice to libertarian ears. Oh, if only the citizens of the countries could just get together, throw out their warring politicians, and make peace. Wouldn't that be nice.

- tomoyoirl 3y agoExcuse me, sir, but I cannot read your message and come to any coherent conclusion that is related to the post you’re replying to. Governments, war, peace, libertarians… dishes, laundry? I am wondering, earnestly, if you could explain it plainly with as few rhetorical flourishes as possible, that I might be able to follow. You are welcome for these purposes to consider me just a little bit dense (but well-meaning).

It's a tautology, but there seems to be something additional that's weird/absurd about it to most people (kind of like, it cannot be taken seriously)...it's hard to explain.
