No one is denying shit. We're stating that our systems dont have to be based on coercion. It is possible to build a society off of cooperation instead. Denying that is denying that we made this shit up and it can be how we want.

    I dont give a shit what most people think. Its a fact not an opinion. Our systems are built on coercion because we're just making slight changes to them over time. Thats why they are that way. It has nothing to do with the thoughts that talking heads plant in the average Americans' mind.

    Edit: reading this after posting I would just like to clarify that I am not trying to be pointed or angry with you. It comes off that way tho. I really do mean we have the choice in how our societies operate.

    People who use the term "most people" are usually full of shit in my experience.

    (Guess who the commander-in-chief is of the "most people" crowd)
