    you fail to see the difference between a social contract, made by equals. And a “social contract” forced on you by a state.

    That’s like unable to see the difference between Chiapas and Nazi Germany.

    • No I just wanted to bait you into dismissing the social contract by saying its forced upon us by the state and not something i had any choice in consenting to.

      Thus by your very own logic I would be perfectly justified in walking over to ur house breaking the social contract and shooting u in the face. I’m obviously not gonna do that cos the social contract forced upon me which ur taxes are funding against ur will goes to ensuring that I would spend the rest of my life in jail if I where to do such a thing.

      This forces u into 1 of 2 positions either the social contract is valid and ur whole point is moot (stfu) or u think that just murdering someone for disagreeing on the internet is a valid response.

      And u can’t say u wanna keep some parts of the social contract but not others. U get ur chance to renegotiate the contract every couple years when u have an election.
