One of these three is not like the others

Honestly I agree with that comment, it’s a very well-known saying the guy who is willing to die will win the fight. So if you make your enemies think you’re willing to die to win they’ll probably back down before you will. But the fact that governments lead to one person being able to press the button makes me extremely nervous no matter who is in power. If I had to select a person to lead my country in the current system I definitely select someone who is seen as unpredictable. But I think it would be a really cool idea if people could actually understand the fact that governments don’t have your best interest at heart and we should let people decide their own futures in a free system. (Side rant) The very idea of government is essentially a monopoly on violence. If you refuse to pay your taxes they send people with guns after you. If you refuse to run your business by their codes they send people with guns after you. If you drink before your 21st birthday they send people with guns after you (granted the police don’t really got after underage drinking that hard). If I were to say to another person “I am going to maintain your storefront and make sure the other company across the street doesn’t interfere with your business practices, and in return you will give me 30% of your profits without consent. but don’t worry I’m going to give a little bit of that money to the local schools. Also you have to live by my rules”. the government would arrest me and throw me in jail, but they do the exact same thing every day to literally everyone.
