CURRENCY COLLAPSE! 🇦🇺
That point was more for Americans than Aussies...They kinda already shit the bed on that one.
There comes a point when it just too late for talk.
Its too late for protests, strong worded letters and diplomatic solutions.
Case in point - a parking ticket. If you don't pay, they'll do everything civil before showing up at your house and under the threat of violence, kidnap you and then make you pay.
It is ONLY the threat of violence that compels you into compliance
There's nothing else like it... it's simply uncanny - incidentally, it just as effective on those who would use violence against you.
So yeah... it's all cliche I guess...but there comes a time when people just need to be punched in the mouth and thrown a beatin' for doing what they did so order can be rightfully restored.
Can't say I agree with all of your views expressed here.
Curiously, regarding parking tickets, I have 'defeated' two parking tickets in the last 12 months, without resorting to violence or even to a judicial hearing, but by actually not complying with their system.
I guess some folks like to think that 'threat of violence' is the only thing that compels THEM into compliance. But they aren't everybody. Many comply because they actually think its the right thing to do. Violence doesn't come into the question.
The other day, I was in an incident where I damaged a person's car late at night, when no one was around. I could have left the scene and no person other than myself would be the wiser. I chose not to.
Likewise, many comply with [x] because they actually think it is the right thing to do. Others, yes, one can assume, only do so because they will be threatened with violence otherwise.
Human beings are complex. In any case, your analogy (I'm hoping) about punching people in the mouth and throwing them for a beating, well, not really my cup of tea.
Cheers.
Yep... I get what you're saying.
My point was, without the threat of violence - nobody would comply with anything. It's their threat of violence (stick) that compels obedience. That's the bottom line.
Strongly worded letters or words don't repel physical force. Unfortunately, that's reality across all species on this planet.
I think I'd modify that to "without threat of violence, nobody would comply with obvious evil".
I think we're roughly on the same page. You sound kinda Bastiat-ish to me. :D
