3/ You've moved the goal posts from "systems based on force...are ridiculous" to "LEGITIMATE force is not being questioned". This is kind of a "no true Scotsman" argument. "Force I like is good/ is not force, it's the force I dislike that's ridiculous"https://twitter.com/KKWuckert/status/1252300834404274177 …

4/ and, sure, if you want to make a purely tautological argument like "bad force is bad, good force is good, that's why I'm against bad force and in favor of good force", uh, feel free ... but that's the most basic / boring level of libertarianism there is. (me, 25 yrs ago)

Wrong. 1. Guidelines adhered to voluntarily is a system. Recourse for not adhering to societal guidelines is legitimate. 2. 10,000 years of civilization obviously exemplifies the evolution in the understanding of self worth and the power found therein.
