Isn't it weird how the anti-government crowd is also pro-government violence?

The real anti-government crowd (anarchists) are very anti-government violence. The Republicans are just anti "government I don't personally benefit from."

I don't think the Republicans have even pretended much on the whole fake libertarian thing since Trump was elected, with anarchists there's at least a chance they run a FNB and can give local people a hot meal

They're also anti government they DO benefit from, unless it harms someone they think is lesser than them

I don't know any anarchists that claim that they don't get any benefit from the government. They're anti-government because of state violence, and either don't want the benefits that come from that, or believe we can get similar benefits another way.
