    If you’re going to motte and Bailey, try not to do it in one conversation. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    So a bunch of mental gymnastics later, we have two groups: those who consent to authority, and those who comply with authority because of the threat or application of violence.

    Show me literally one ever.

    Any government relies on a monopoly of violence, because some minority will not consent to rule. Lenient systems will settle towards “don’t kill, cook, and eat your neighbors,” some will settle towards total subjugation of their constituents.

    If not prevented with violence, new violent power structures will form spontaneously.
