On Coercion...

OK. Sorry. What I mean to say, at a full size keyboard, is that, to wit: we all live under the threat of unlimited violence/coercion by the government of the united states. Something as simple as an unpaid parking ticket will result in each and every citizen being killed even (up to a point where popular revolt would occur). For example, let us say that one individual citizen elects not to pay a parking ticket. The unpaid parking ticket is automatically shunted through computers into an automated queue. The automated queue expiration date code trips. A warrant for arrest is issued for unpaid fines. Let us say accused citizen is aware of warrant yet refuses to surrender to said authorities in addition to refusing to pay. Further then, a magistrate will issue the constabulary to seize the unrecalcitrant-citizen and bring them to stand supplicant before his/her apparatus. The citizen refuses entry of the constabulary at their residence, and is killed by men with guns who wear badges. Or let us say said citizen takes flight in a vehicle or on foot, and is either apprehended or killed in the pursuit. So from this simple act of unpaid fines, we live in a world where the government acts in a manner that results in the assassination of the citizen on principle of unpaid debt alone. To accuse the Re-pyuke-leekans of promoting anti-social violence, coercion is to forget that our system-at-large is based on automated violence, coercion-to-collect, rent-seeking, etc.
