Friendly reminder that most libertarians are autistic or ADHD.
It turns out that only people with the ability to hyper fixate are morally outraged by the monopoly on violence.
Everyone else is prim...
Friendly reminder that governments don’t actually have a monopoly on coercion. Coercion can be present to varying degrees in any contract where one party has limited available alternatives. For example, in the healthcare market, the alternatives available to a customer are sometimes either 1) paying any arbitrary amount of money for a life-saving treatment, or 2) dying.
Compare this to a local government that wants to raise school taxes. You can avoid these if you move a few miles down the road into the next local jurisdiction. I have yet to hear a compelling explanation for how a local government has more coercive pricing controls than a healthcare provider or health insurance company.
