RE: Response to Charles Hoskinson's Thoughts on Ross
"For example, if someone steals from you, then who do you call? How do you address blackmail or threats? You can't call the police, there are no contracts or courts to fall back on. You have to embrace violence or threats."
It seems Charles Hoskinson believes that the police is never violent or threatening.
Right!? It's quite perplexing.
Thank you for your comment. It helps to further extend my thoughts about this, which amount to the point that nothing is helped by reverting to stereotypes or caricatures of people existing in different sectors of society.
Take the police, for example. I have, both personally and by association, known police officers who are not only friendly, yet supportive of the distribution of illegal substances that have proven healing effects (without the harmful side effects of legal pharmaceuticals), and participate in the trade, yet if they were called upon to follow orders to perform an arrest or raid while on duty would be compelled to do so. This is an unfortunate situation, psychologically and in every other way, for all involved.
My previous comment was too mild.
Calling the police IS introducing violence or the threat of violence into the situation.
Exactly. Yes!
