It's the Mandate of Heaven
violence is the surpreme authority from which all other authorities derive
^
you cant maintain order without violence
you cant enforce law or right without violence
everything is based on violence. war is the ethos of the universe.
wait wait wait
first things first,
how else you gonna get things done
im just mind boggled rn
Why
i just came back but i saw the question
"you cant maintain order without violence"
wtf?
Yes
when you go to the supermarket, do you use violence to buy groceries?
do you use violence when you give someone a gift?
@Deleted User what prevents me from robbing the supermarket?
would you rob the supermarket without laws?
many would
cops are people too
no, would *you* rob the supermarket
The supermarket?
Let's see
depends on the supermarket
lol
probably not
i dunno
The food that arrives there travels by trade routes secured by the American military and navy
The government built the highways which carry the food to my supermarket
The supermarket stays in business because it knows that even if it is robbed it can go to the proper authorities
the problem with your argument is that you think that these things cant exist without government
I don't think that international trade routes can exist without government
just because our world functions through violence and coercion right now, doesnt mean it cant function without it
many people didnt think men could land on the moon either
again, youre equating probability with possibility
it cant
prove it?
thats like saying disprove god
but we can make statement of relative degrees of certainty
The fact hthat violence has always been a part of human civilization suggests it will probably always continue to be so
