His entire argument rests on the foundation that he lives in a just society. It's kinda funny. The entire reason for these philosophies and government at large is to solve for externalities: Kingpins, Terrorists, Cancer-causing chemicals, Violence, Street Gangs, Sudden death by falling cranes, madmen with AR-15s, the list goes on forever. You only have the pleasure of being a punk when you have solved for all of these externalities and live in a peaceful and just society.
