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.
Sorry, dude, but your previous comment was a textbook example of ad hominem. Further, the comment I’m replying to is an example of gaslighting and another ad hom.
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…
i will repeat my statement to clarify… if you think the way you claim to, you are a slave and a coward… you are not a citizen of any country, and your opinion doesn’t matter to me in the least… because i don’t care about slaves…
if you think that, you are not a citizen… you’re a customer…

you sound like a Russian propagandist… only someone totally defeated by fear thinks that way… you are clearly a slave…
Argumentum ad hominem.
you’re mis-using that term, to try to gain sympathy… another sign of weakness…

Focus on the argument, not the person making it.
You’re literally accusing me of “russian propagandist” instead of replying to my personal argument.

i don’t care if that makes you sad
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…
