Hello thanks for the reply.

But whether any of this is technically an act of violence is a different question.

It's debatable yes, most people have never thought as how far their belief makes the continuation of violence of their belief system, go on.

Who do you think is more responsible for state violence, the diehard statist (watches cable news, believes all the typical things) who didn't bother to go vote, or the anarchist who was bored and lol'd his way thru the voting booth?

I'm not sure. Can you blame an indoctrinated cult member, who was born in an echo chamber, for whom this awful system, is just "what is"?

It's not about the blaming, for me it's about making people aware of the belief.

I can tell you who I find most responsible, the police and the army, they bring the actual violence in manifestation.......... in reality.

I'm not sure the state is so much responsive to the votes people make.

I think the politicians have their own agenda and only "listen" to the people if it happens to match their agenda or to get more power.

It's very much the belief in statism that keeps it going, without believers, no
legitimacy for the state and it's hired mercenaries.
