I know many of us get frustrated when trying to convey to family and friends and even acquaintances the message about government coercion and especially policing.
It's obvious that if we immediately start talking about the dissolution of the state and the idea of choosing protection provisions on the market, that most will look at us like we have 3 heads.
It seems like the best approach is to pick their brain about how they feel about victimless crimes and possible moral contradictions that they might have.
People get very defensive when it comes to law enforcement. Ask them what if the only laws that existed that cops had to enforce were ones that specifically protected life, liberty and property against violence, aggression, theft and slavery? Would see a huge multitude of these problems disintegrate?
A victim constitutes a crime. Aggression, or an act of violence or theft. (Rape, murder, assault, robbery, kidnapping etc.)
People are so hung up on black versus white versus cop that they completely fail to see the root of the problem-how utterly ridiculous it is that the state has delegated the right to police to stop and detain people, search them, possibly seize their property , ask 10 million questions about where they're going and where they've been and what they're doing and then try to extort them in the form of fines, or arrest them for possessing a plant, when they've harmed no one.
What legitimate authority does the state have to do these things to people who have committed no crime? And if you don't believe you should be unlawfully searched and detained, if you speak back angrily, or refuse to "comply" they have the right to kill you? How does that make sense? Is this the world we live in?
If your answer is still you need to just SHUTUP and COMPLY, no matter how unjust the situation, you're not paying attention.
If you can eventually get these basic concepts through, maybe there's a chance of delving into why tax funded state monopolization of these services is inherently wrong. But that's for another time.
Small steps.
