Wait, maybe I see our disconnect. Are you using anarchy as some politically defined word? I’m using it as a dictionary definition which is synonymous with nihilism and chaos.
That is not in human nature and I would point to ten thousand years plus of refinement of civilization.

Give me a very large break. Heaping foul-mouthed abuse on, among others, some poor guy trying to get from point A to B because he's from North Carolina? Telling him to go back there, and accusing him of being a KKK member? That's" looking for justice?"

Newsflash: It's NOT. And it's people like you, who embolden these freaks.

The grieving family was harrassing people in their cars and jumping in front of vehicles, hitting cars?

I only mentioned Somalia because it has no functional government. I know what you said, but there is no centralized government. Its a GINO - Government in Name Only. The country is ruled entirely by warlords and their personal regional or locat fiat, enforced by extreme personal violence, without any formalized and consistent system of the administration of justice.

As for "strongmen" I never used that term. Bad Actors generally means anyone who won't behave according to social norms and mores. Often it implies a wide variety of criminal conduct, but hey, in Anarchy Land, there isn't any such analogue anyway, since natural law is only concerned with overt and immediate violations of personal property rights and has nearly no nuance to it.

I'm actually a Libertarian - a real one though - not a fake one, hiding behind the label while actually being an Anarchist. Authentic Libertarians are Minarchists. We believe in limited government - you might know it as the Night Watchman State. But that's the government prescribed by the Constitution, and so that's what I am.

No. Once you resort to screwing up traffic and threatening to beat people, any sympathy most people had for you flies right out the window.

That isn't it...they're just stupid, young, and violent. This is what that combo produces.

Its the useless segment of society.

LOL, yeah, it could be they're all graduates of Evergreen. And I agree, they do act like they're on something.

What kind of protest against the police involves telling fellow citizens where they can and cannot drive and threatening them on top of it?

Yah, you're not going to get justice in the street by harassing people....what kind of mental defective thinks that way?

These are violent people trying to hurt others and they need to be dealt with harshly. I don't give a crap if they feel disenfranchised or whatever their complaint is, because it in no way justifies their criminal actions. In a civilized society we don't riot. We don't deface and take over the commons when we're upset. There are civilized and lawful ways to show you are not happy with the government's actions and terrorizing the public is NOT one of them and will NOT be tolerated.
