    Well, to begin with, as you well know, that doesn’t work in practice.

    I trust in the cops suffering consequences somewhat more then I do a lynch mob. The “voluntary association” who resolved what they viewed as “anti-social behavior” from Emmett Till suffered no consequences for their actions.

    Who constrains the police? …

    Already pointed out. Make a point.

      There are far, far more cases of police officers not being held responsible for their atrocities.

      You didn’t point it out at all - you are saying that someone holds the police responsible for their actions. Who does that?

        Which still has a higher percentage of being held accountable then voluntary associations like the Klan did.

        You didn’t point it out at all

        I in fact did. Not going to ask again: Make whatever point you’re trying to make.

          …the Klan is not a voluntary association at all, it’s a white supremacist membership based group which is closed to many. Are you serious?

          I in fact did.

          No, you did not. I think you understand exactly what I’m trying to get at, and you’re just sticking your head in the sand and refusing to engage with it. Thanks for your time, but I see no purpose in continuing this conversation if you are not going to approach it with good faith. All the best.

            Not liking that the klan was a voluntary association that resolved what they viewed to be anti-social behavior (and lets be real, would 100% form again in some form in a anarchist society) doesn’t change that it was one.

            No, you did not

            Yes, I did. I’m going to presume as you lead with that you didn’t bother to make a point and block you at this point.

              It’s scary confronting the fact that your world view is wrong, isn’t it? Better just block me, that way you don’t have to change your perspective. Change is hard.
