I’m a citizen by coercion of the government, not by voluntary means.
A “social contract” cannot be used to justify the existence of an oligarchy of politicians and its actions because they will initiate force against those who do not wish to enter into that contract.
In fact, the so-called “social contract” is not a contract at all because it is unilateral in nature. Voting and taxation don’t necessarily imply consent with how government works, as there is no explicit consent of every citizen.
Such indiscriminate uncritical love of representative democracy is a threat to liberty itself.
a little too close to home perhaps… i merely suggested you argue like a Russian coward… i said nothing personally identifying about you as an individual, therefore it wasn’t an ad hominem attack, you drama queen…

you sound like a Russian propagandist
Argumentum ad hominem.
you’re mis-using that term, to try to gain sympathy… another sign of weakness…
You’re literally accusing me of “russian propagandist” instead of replying to my personal argument.

Fair enough. You’re still not replying to my opinion anyway.
I can infere that you’re a very close-minded person. You’re criticizing the “tone” of my opinion instead of its content.
no i’m addressing the content very directly as inconsequential… to be ignored and discarded as cowardice… capitulation…
