RE: [VIDEO] 99.9% of People Are Good; Violent Conflict is Almost Always Avoidable.

Of course it does, people can organize against murderers or murder organizations, and kill them, people will want to have security against all slave masters.
When more people understand the concept of freedom and let go of their believe in authority, they will defend it. It's about numbers. There are now projects going on, and agorism is another way if government start to attack those peaceful people, I think more people will notice what the state is.

Well I leave you here, because you keep coming up with questions, I have already answered.
And you act as if I have to have an answer to all of them.
Which I don't

But you keep your faith in government, and force anyone to do what you think is the best idea. Do your best to stop government from growing and or becoming totalitarian. Then I live my life to the best of my abilities.

Peace.

Okay. That does finally answer my question: you say violence will rectify the situation eventually, and I agree.

My point is that government has the advantage of potentially resolving tyrannies by nonviolent political means. For all of statisms disadvantages, this capacity for political solutions is one advantage.

Thank you for entertaining my skepticism of your hypotheses. It's nothing particular to you or your ideals, just standard skepticism.

It's a change in the mindset. And it can begin as small as stopping a bully. Where they normally would get away with violence. It probably starts with bringing up children. There are a lot of children that learn only to obey, obeying is good disobeying is bad. Well sometimes disobeying is very good, the right thing to do. But if you are brought up with obeying is equal to being good, then the moment you get orders to do bad things you will not think, but just do as your told. This is the danger.
("you" is not you personal of course.)

My grandparents disobeyed the nazis in the second world war, I think it has shaped me unconsciously, and made me question a lot of things about wars, governments, tyrants, authority in general.
That questioning finally let me here. Questioning everything is a good thing i.m.o. Also questioning authority.
Questioning everything is skepticism. ;)
