It's very simple, really.

We want government because it helps manage infrastructure, distribute wealth (sometimes), provide social services, offer protection and peace, and for all these benefits, we grumpily get to accept state monopoly on violence

They want government because it's violent, and for that they grumpily get to accept building infrastructure, providing social services, distributing wealth, offering protection and peace. They really, really want for the government to only be violent and do nothing else.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
