What is the most extreme example of mental gymnastics you have witnessed?

Oh my goodness how intelligent you are. Actually I did argue against the central idea. It just wasn’t YOUR central argument. I made a comment against the initial person’s idea that anarchy would be an effective system, not against whatever nonsense you just spewed. Nothing about a “rule by force” system was involved until you brought it up. You just saw an opportunity where you might be able to shove your psychotic ‘build a doomsday bunker’ ideas and then try to explain how I failed to argue against them. And you clearly are not aware of how society works if you think that being completely ungoverned is a viable approach.

If they can’t be paid for privately or peacefully, they’re unnecessary? Are roads unnecessary? A military is unnecessary? What happens when your crazy lawless ‘utopia’ comes under attack bc literally any country with a somewhat organized force says “hey look at those idiots, they have nobody protecting them.” Yoink. Now your land is gone and you are once again under the laws of a government.
