I'm suppose I may be the worst guy to have this discussion with.......I've seen actual anarchy, not coddled malcontents playing anarchist under the loving arm of an existent state. I've picked up the rubble (and the severed limbs of human beings) and rebuilt the houses (and destroyed them again as well...no sense in omitting that I suppose), witnessed (and caused...at least in part) that misery first hand.... and I simply cannot forget it.War is the opposite of anarchy. That is changing somebody's will by force. That's the whole point of violence. You were not participating in anarchy, you were sent to a foreign land to control uncontrollable people with violence. I'm sorry if you were suckered into going to a foreign land, under the premise you were there to help. But you can't help anybody by force.
Militant extremists think they are trying to help. Be it beheading the the village homos in a Pakistani hamlet or operating a drone. There was a time when american militant extremists threw the village homos in rape dungeons. Now we mostly throw village junkies in rape dungeons.
I'm sure if my community had a democratic say in the matter, we wouldn't do such things. I'm guessing if your community had a say in the matter you wouldn't do such things.
If we all respected self ownership and natural rights, then we wouldn't have militant extremism. It's an objective value of yourself and others. Don't let yourself be exploited, don't exploit others and stick up for the exploited. Not with violence, but with the truth.
