Dang, you wrote a novel! :)

Did you see the amount of crap people responded with? Kind of hard to give them a fair response without doing so. I even left some stuff out.

I've been watching these ancap/ancom debates for quite a while and the only conclusion I've been able to come to so far is there haven't been any conclusions. Often, it's just a lot of back and forth with a lot of wasted time. So much of discussion is around semantics and word usage, not something solid which can be proven in the real world. At this point, I'm fine with whatever works and removes violent-backed, authoritarian coercion from the world.

You hit the nesting limit... so responding to your latest reply.

If you read my last two paragraphs in that latest post you'll see I kind of am at the same conclusion as you.
