“any group of people can delegate to”

“creating a huge gang - one far too big and powerful for the average person to resist  - and giving that gang societal permission to control and extort everyone else (by way of “law” and “taxes”), in the hope that that gang will prevent theft and thuggery , is an absurd idea that I “bought into” for the first 35 years of my life.”

“I wonder if in reality, warlords already did take over, called themselves “government,” and convinced me and their other victims that it was righteous and necessary for them to dominate and exploit us, “for our own good.”

“Bizarrely, almost every statist admits that politicians are more dishonest, corrupt, conniving and selfish than most people, but still insists that civilization can exist only if those particularly untrustworthy people are given both the power and the right to forcibly control everyone else. Believers in "government" truly believe that the only thing that can keep them safe from the flaws of human nature is taking some of those flawed humans—some of the most flawed, in fact—and appointing them as gods, with the right to dominate all of mankind, in the absurd hope that, if given such tremendous power, such people will use it only for good. And the fact that that has never happened in the history of the world does not stop statists from insisting that it "needs" to happen to ensure peaceful civilization.”
