Do you at least acknowledge the reality of how laughable your “natural right” to resist would look against even a minute fraction of the state’s power?
Acknowledge? Yes. We gave them all the guns.
Accept? Consent to? Absolutely not. I despise the status quo and want to see my children grow up in a more free society than what we're living in now. Unfortunately things have consistently gone in the wrong direction and I seem to be in the minority of people not okay with that, but I'll still do what I can as one man.
It's a novel concept, really.
Obviously, if you like the idea of a powerful nation-state, you can try any number of other experiments, elsewhere. Those nations do not even try to veneer their actions with the consent of their populace.
I'm not laughing.
Neither are you, right?
When things become unacceptable, we can elect legislators to change the laws and make them acceptable again. I don't hear a cry to end eminent domain in our elections, or see anyone in Congress making any effort in that direction. That's consent of the governed.
Eminent domain nevertheless has not been "long okay," it has been hotly contested in every case.
That doesn't sound like "society is okay with it," unless you were on the take.
One could say society in general is "on the take". Which gets back to my contention that your "property" is yours only by the consent of everyone else.
I'm saying you are, which is why you contest that my property is not mine.
That's a pretty narrow, twisty way of defining property, and it's not upheld by US case law.
