Of course, the agencies of the government that are not coercive or employ violence, like postal workers, teachers, clerks, etc., are not at the same level of as being a member of the armed forces and police. Being a tool for the state to maintain its coercive control over society is unethical in my humble opinion.You've never been to a US Post Office, those fuckers are brutal...and aggressive!
I, personally, joined the service so that I could go and be a peacekeeper...you know, to help safeguard those personal liberties that abusive states and actors had robbed people of. Boy howdy, what a monster!
Quote:
Atheists are more prone to authoritarian and collectivist ideologies, especially communism, as evidence by the spread of communism in East Asia and Southeast Asia, precisely because they don't have a Religion which teaches there is a higher authority than the State. A typical non-religious atheist, like a chinese or Vietnamese peasant, is never taught such ideals. To him the State might as well be God. This is how majority of atheists are prone to authoritarian and collectivist ideologies.
Utter horseshit.
Quote:On what basis do you say people were less free before as compared to today?More horseshit. One of the few things that our founding documents expressly permit the government to do (rather than the laundry list of don'ts) is to smack a warlord and all of his mercs directly in the mouth. It's not even so much that this is permitted...it's the stated obligation of our government to do so...and it's to this end, not the support of fucking warlords, that we arm ourselves.
A country where warlords and militias are running free is not always necessarily a place where people have no freedom. The US constitution was intentionally written with the idea that militias will be around. The existence of militias and warlords is an insurance policy against the potential tyranny of the State
You have a disturbing affinity for warlords and the countries being ruined by them for a person so concerned with personal and religious liberties.
