Anti Governant? I don't think so!
Fighting each other in defense is ok so anti-gov people try to say it's ok to fight the government. However, they first try to convince you the government is your enemy. If they have to convince you then it's bullshit. I think of it as trying to get me to attack myself and my security detail. Many attack citizens because they see through the single point of failure system and know that even just the government can't survive without the citizens because it's just a bunch of citizens with different jobs and training and knowledge/insight. So by attacking the government you're committing suicide and murder at the same time in the extreme cases like McVeigh or if you're pissing on it in the wrong way at the wrong time intentionally you're eroding the damn so it's bound to break pretty soon. However, it's a slippery slope because that's like saying you're untouchable no matter what you do since being wrong is 100% human and 100% ok/normal. Even in defense it's prudent to take the FBI method of no torture and tearing all as citizens of the planet. I also like the take if that one guy in Lord of the Rings where he takes no pleasure in killing the enemy because they just want to live too and who knows how they wound up fighting us. I'm not condemning no remorse for defending yourself because that's what it is. I'd just rather think of it in that context and realize I'd have no remorse in most if not all situations. And don't try the divide and conquer thing. People see life as jujitsu as there always being a counter move for the truth. Just live and let live. I might just forget my ethics in my old age when fight or flight instinct kicks in.
