You missed my point, which is that all governments exist to oppress by design, it's literally what governments are, they are businesses that monopolize violence. Some people, esp. people of the Western world are too arrogant to admit it. Personally, I would honestly rather trust someone who is aware of that fact over someone who isn't.

Look, I'm as much an enjoyer of Kropotkin and von Mises as the other guy and torched more then zero regional police HQs in my life.

You are right in principle, but there is a varying degree to which different governments actually oppress people and there are certain patterns of what to expect from which.

I would not trust american company, like msft to not snitch to me to US government either, but the likehood of random shmuk being coopted is much more likely in one case as opposed to another.

I don't think Russians actually live in fear of the big brother, I wouldn't be friends with so many Russian femboys if that really was the case. But what do I know, it could all be a conspiracy.

Edit: I also don't understand how torching police hqs makes the world a better, more peaceful place. At best, you'll just end up creating another monopoly on violence… @.@

I'm not sure what it has to do with anything, other than you own ideas about what oppressive governments are up to.

the chain has to be yanked from time to time, otherwise the thing at the end of it tends to forget you are holding it.

Not my own ideas, Russia criminalizes non-conforming gender expression. You'd think there would be no femboys if what you're saying held up
