Is this Mormon ****? This sounds like Mormon ****. How many wives does your father have, Nea?

And be sure to tell the blacks that they’re free. They’ll be glad to hear it I’m sure
again more equivocating.i specifically said chattel slavery because I knew you would pull that crap. Stop looking for loopholes and actually address a point for once.

tbh this is a sheltered whiteboy take. Not sure if you're being ironic though.

I don't see many violently unstable countries that I would actually want to live in personally.

It's not like I don't get that impulse, but you want that as the permanent state of things or as a temporary mechanism to exert change?

Cause I can see the latter but not the former. But the latter also means that eventually a monopoly of force will once again ossify. See the civil war, for a perfect example of a temporary situation where the monopoly of force devolves into multiple competing sources of force. In the case if the American civil war, though it cost a lot of lives, there was a generally positive change made as a result.

But for a counter example take the current Syrian civil war. There's no telling how it will eventually end but based on current trends it seems like a recipe for potentially perpetual conflict and instability with no real silver lining at the end of it all.

be more specific... What's an example of the kind of unrest you think should be perpetual that challenges the actual monopoly on violence that the state has.

I know this is same old same old but the level of racist vitriol in crowd form still startles and frightens me when I see it. It’s horrifying that this isn’t horrifying.
