RE: Objective Morality Really is a Thing
Love it. keep on talking
"This is why a state cannot ever be governed by the "consent of the people." The state, by its definition, imposes laws upon people, many times against their will and without their consent" Nailed it
The state was formed under consent of people. People agreed to those rules.
I wouldn't call this "nailing"
Perhaps it was formed under the consent of some people, but definitely not all people it imposes it's will upon, and it wasn't consented by the kids of those people or their grand kids.
A state is as a political entity that claims control over a territory. A territory is simply an area of land. So if there's someone within that territory that doesn't recognize or consent to the authority of that state, what do would you call that?
