At least you can fight them with their own promises then
Assuming people give power to the government

At least you can fight them with their own promises then yeah by using their system... I prefer to just say they don't get to hurt people. I don't give them the power to make promises about how they wont hurt us in a particular case. They break promises all the time so it becomes a destructive psyop. Better to focus energy on actually stoping them with bitcoin or in some other direct way Assuming people give power to the government Why? arn't they corrupt.. Isn't that what a statist would assume and propogate? Governments don't have infinite power, they have only as much power as we give them yes, for me you are on to it now
