People really need to stop taking whatever bait Hollywood shits out just like how they need to stop taking whatever bait Washington shits out.
The biggest reason I'm not a Republican
In the end I just can't support a political party that is going to enable an authoritarian tyrant to do whatever they want. There is clearly nothing they can do to rein him in and he has shown to be able to justify basically anything including using military force against US citizens and threatening to imprison anyone who disagrees with him.
But enough about Lincoln.
Is this what will actually happen under anarcho-capitalism?

Why does the West, a civilization that has historically prioritized individualism revere democracy, an inherently collectivist institution, so much?
I would argue that despite coming from the West, the institution of democracy is fundamentally anti-Western, just because a tyrant is voted in rather than not voted in doesn't make them any less of a tyrant. I think that the only reasons it's as popular as it is are twofold, due to it's age and how it supposedly empowers as many people as possible. Ideally in a true Ancap society, there would be no forced collectivist democracies and only voluntary collectives that would choose if they wanted to make decisions democratically or not.
Thoughts?
