That's what I assumed he meant, but they're really not.
My point was that the state can do all sorts of things that you and I can't, so them killing people isn't the same as anyone doing it.
The existence of the state itself doesn't require consent. If you're in charge and can remain in charge, you're in charge.
That's what I mean. He couldn't maintain his claim to the monopoly on violence, but others could, and they did so without having to ask anybody for their consent.
Unless we decend into Communism / Fascism, Consent withdrawal results in death (usually figurative). Governments may do unpopular things, but they can't just do what they want because they are in power.
At this point I realise I am arguing History with a Published History Author and wish to withdraw. I do so without consent. Good day.
History debate always dissolves into philosophy and ethics at which point a historian has nothing better to offer than a layman. Unless he’s Tony Judt
It's usually the other way round, unless you've got some weird ideas about innate morality.
Unless you exist purely to summarize, any social science is constructed upon pre-existing notions of fairness and right and wrong, which are independent of your intelligence or education.
Pre-existing notions of fairness and right and wrong, which presumably emerged from nowhere independent of any wider context.

A palm print on a door? From 20 years ago? Really?
Whatever about a fake personal injury claim she deserves to be removed for using Comic Sans alone.
Our boss finally stopped using that font. Someone must've had a word.
Verdana and Utopia are the only fonts I will ever use.

It might well be "fine", but I don't really see how it's actually possible? I'm honestly not trying to be an arsehole in the slightest here either. Surely you can't, by definition, identify as gay without first identifying as a specific gender?'I'm gay and I have no gender and that's fine'
Unless they mean they're only attracted to other people who also don't have a gender?
That's Brilliant.
(It?) could be a biological female who fancies other biological females but doesn't subscribe to being a girl/woman?
I'm not going to click on the video as this stuff bores me to death, but that would seem faintly logical.
Saw a man on a train wearing an “I am non binary” badge.
Can someone explain this to me? It’s a foreign concept to me, but that’s more on me being sheltered rather than dismissive.
I'm a twit
I think it’s something to do with waves and oscillations. Maybe the moon.
It just means they don't identify as male or female. Or they sometimes identify as male and sometimes as female.
It's rooted in the idea that sex (what you have between your legs) and gender are separate things. Maybe you have a willy but want to wear skirts and lipstick, maybe you don't but want to run the 200m for South Africa.
Be handy for whichever shitter has the smallest queue down the pub.
A lot of toilets at YOUNG PEOPLE PLACES now just say "urinals and cubicles" or "cubicles" on them. Get involved Giggsy.
How'd you come across that one, friend?
Don't search shame me.
If you can order things anonymously, presumably without paying for them (as how would that be anonymous, are you paying in BitCoin?), does that mean you can order 12 fish and chips to random tables just for the lols?
that's awful
Better off just shooting him.
Yeah. One of my old work mates posts his table number on Facebook and his banterous m8's send him 'random' stuff. A bowl of peas, a racist banana, take your pick. They were lolling themselves stupid over someone sending him an ALCOHOL FREE cider a little while back.
"I don't even like cider!!!!" He said, and hilarity was had by all.
You do have to pay for it first.
Obviously a dick move but is sending a banana to a black person’s table really “racist abuse”? It’s like calling some creep who keeps trying to hit on a girl at a party a sexual abuse perpetrator
It's the world we live in today. Everybody has gone soft. Super sensitive society.
I'm all for "it's political correctness gone mad" but that's clearly racist.
