"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Ethics 101
"
How did the state’s use of violence become legitimate?
Through legitimation.
What is legitimation?
It’s the process of making a thing legitimate.
The violence of the state had to go through the process of legitimation; was the process always legitimate?
Well, it is legitimate now."
