Hero Chat

Loken, you're as awesome as ever :) Today I'm in a good mood, so I'm going to ruin it for everyone else :D :p

...why is everything the way it is, and not otherwise? Why are citizens obligated to the country in some way? Through service, taxes, and so on? What is the state, essentially? Some fenced-off territory. People live in it, and some of them, politicians, strive (at least they should) to improve the lives of citizens. They demand taxes and patriotism from them, and in return? A playground? A state school in which students are asked to contribute money for repairs, even though the state is the one that should allocate taxes in such a way?

Russia is experiencing an economic upswing (at least it should be), so it pays minimum wages to teachers and makes small investments to prevent the school from completely falling apart. ALL (and when I say ALL, I mean ALL) fundraising is a personal initiative of the school administration. You can sue them, but keep in mind that it will take much more time, money, and nerves than if you just pay the money. Regarding the state, it is education that exists to protect and provide its citizens with life and blah blah blah. Are you sure you would have been born (in a maternity hospital) without the help of state doctors? With the abolition of the state, any semblance of (let's call it what it is) order will completely disappear, and total chaos will begin, which anarchists so desire (something about these topics has become popular; it's like a seasonal exacerbation, or maybe the main anarchist forum gave the command: "Attack!"?). And then, we will all understand what complete **** is.

And the price for this is ridiculously simple – the human soul. Not counting money. Ideally, the structure of the country should make life easier, but is that really the case? Yes, a person can turn on a lamp instead of a candle. Yes, he doesn't dig out latrines; he has a toilet. But we pay for these simple benefits with our very souls. We owe the state for this for the rest of our lives. And we are obliged to unconditionally obey the "demiurges of the state" – the authorities. And they can manipulate people however they want. And there is no dissent. Heretics sit in prison/receive unemployment benefits.

Loke, our country is huge; sell your (when you get it) apartment, buy a plot of land in western Siberia, and go live a free life. No taxes will be collected from you (why would they care about you in such a, um, remote place), so live peacefully. If that's not enough for you, sell your apartment and go live illegally in the forests; believe me, if you dig REALLY deep, no riot police will find you. And, more importantly, the riot police have more important things to do... By the way, no one is punished for free thought; otherwise, you would already be in prison, as would many writers who publish their books throughout the country, and other people...

And everyone needs something from you. Everyone tries to stick an unwashed, crusty finger into your soul and even poke around a few times. Is this normal? From a moral point of view, I can punch such a person in the jaw. How about that? "Freedom of every citizen...", "inviolability of life...". Ha(7). But if you punch an "official" in the eye, that's a crime. Paradoxical, isn't it?

The paradox is that you are encroaching on someone else's health (you are attacking a person), believing that it is your right...

And why is a person obliged to feel patriotism for the "fatherland" (what a word they came up with to control)? Did I choose where I was born? No. But our imaginary right is to decide for ourselves. And what?

You are not obliged to feel patriotism; you are obliged to fight for the state for all the above benefits, as well as for a whole wagonload of other benefits.

And who accuses a robber of a lack of honesty? If he robs a bank, he harms not someone, but the state. The system. An inanimate thing. But this is a crime. Why?

If a person robs a bank, he robs the citizens who have invested their money there, and if, let's assume, it is a state bank, then he robs the citizens, depriving the budget of money for schools and so on...

Why can't a person survive in the way he wants? Not the way they force him to?

Out of all the clichés, you managed to say the most cliché one :) Okay, let's say a person has the right to survive as he sees fit, and we have the right to prevent such attempts and punish that person, up to and including his destruction, in order to ensure OUR survival. He survives as he can, and we survive as we can; it's all fair, isn't it? :)
Why have anarchists never appealed to me? Their arguments are clearly aimed at a part of the "dumb herd," only that part that wants to be "different from everyone else," but in reality, it doesn't differ from the rest of the mass in any way.
Loke, if you feel that I have offended you somewhere, I'm sorry; I didn't mean to (lately, I've unintentionally offended so many people).
Well, arguments are still necessary so that there is a place to release energy (not in the Heroes chat, of course) :)
